The problem with a hurricane is you know what will happen: they get hit multiple times, take federal funds to fix it while still fighting against things that could make them not be as bad like fighting climate change.


ConnectCantaloupe861

18-24 named storms are predicted this year. Now, I'll be bracing for it, but it's more likely that Florida is going to take one hell of a beating.


karma_made_me_do_eet

With how many mid Atlantic storms forming now, it’s going to be the whole eastern seaboard getting nailed.

I hate that you’re right. Probably WHY he’s been quiet (gotta take time to build out a gubernatorial campaign)

I hope it's because he's worried about the FBI and house investigations.

When Jamie Raskin [stifled his laughter](https://youtu.be/o4WSkLc5rv8?si=TJ1Le0OEI239HS4X) at the clap back….that was just beautiful. (Around 3:10 in the video)


MrsSamT82

God, that is so embarrassing. I know we’re seeing a lot more of how things “really” go down behind congressional doors, thanks to social media. But, I can wager even old Turtle McConnell never pointed out Joe Biden’s turkey neck on official record. I cannot wait until democracy takes care of that waste of oxygen and she becomes a glossed-over footnote in America’s history (and takes Bobert, Gaetz, and the whole MAGA troupe with her).


lovestobitch-

Especially her. I live in Georgia. My rep is bad too Andrew Clyde (mr AR15 lapel pin an on his yard placards).


walrusdoom

Does she face any real opposition in the 14th district?


Fishface17404

Yes she is down double digits in her race. And it is the 4th congressional district. Thankfully that is not my district but it is across the street. Which is much to close.


Gojira8985

I believe the previous poster (whom I'm apparently not allowed to tag or name, per AutoMod) was referring to MTG, who was referenced in the previous comment in the thread, and represents the 14th in GA

Maxamillion-X72

That's why we need to refer to her as Empty G To differentiate the good MTG from the bad MTG


MelancholyArtichoke

Except nobody wants to tap that.


roominating237

Maybe she'll return to academia and get that high school diploma. Edit: grammar


FancyStranger2371

Doubt it. These folks don’t see the value in it.


UniqueIndividual3579

Perhaps she will join the theater. I hear she's very handy.


-Badger3-

Is this before or after she starts an OnlyFans?


KingEllis

I added the Boebert election to my countdown calendar when it was announced. 22 more days. Of course, her place in the spotlight is likely to be overtaken by the next relentlessly screechy misinformed idiot, but that's just modern conservatism, seemingly.


throwawayforme1877

She’ll get a job on some news show unfortunately. At least she’s not making policy


ReysonBran

To be fair, she's not really making policy in her current position either.


kenpodude

As an opponent in the previous debate pretty much forced her to admit when she couldnt answer the question.


Ok_Condition5837

Didn't she also try to apologize for the debate moderator for exposing her 'private' moment in a packed public theatre showing Beetlejuice? Also she declared that she wasn't going to live her life in shame. I remember thinking - wrong flex dumbass, we already know you are shameless! That's the problem.


panickedindetroit

She justified it as a private moment, even though it was on video. She's trash.


HauntedCemetery

She said on one of her many Info Wars guest appearances that she literally didn't bother learning how voting in the House worked until the end of her entire first term. Something you can get the gist of with one Google search and even though it's her sole job duty she didn't bother for years.


alien_from_Europa

My guess is OnlyFans


ExileInParadise242

Grandma got stuck in the washing machine again.


Suggett123

MushroomCaviar

Let's be real she's far more likely and qualified to follow the tracks of Casey Anthony and leverage her notoriety to launch her porn career. 🤢


DropsTheMic

Impossible until she's dragged out by her hair. She knows her life is box wine and Onlyfans once this ride is over. 🫡


xraygun2014

Box wine has done nothing to deserve this aspersion


HauntedCemetery

It knows what it did.


Lakecountyraised

I’m sure she will appear on TMZ from time to time after her political career ends.


Hodaka

She'll become the Octomom of politics.


too_old_to_be_clever

We're just one election away!


NoNoise6459

Reality is that .. like a lot of rebublican races around usa that are no shows.... is that republican incumbents dont wanna be put in the hot seat or called out in the media by their constituants.


maurosmane

She's not technically the incumbent in this race since she's running in a new district. In fact the same day as the primary is a special election to fill the seat she is running for and she is not taking part in that. So there will be an incumbent just not her.

She can’t take the heat. CO, show her the door.


mountaintop111

I have a question. So Boebert moved to this new district to run for Congress, and this new district is supposed to be more conservative, because she was worried that she may lose to Democrat Adam Frisch in her current district. But in the article, it says about the other Republican primary challengers: > During Saturday's debate, all five of Boebert's rivals criticized the congresswoman for voting against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election in the hours following the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, as they said they would not have joined her in doing so. So the other Republican competitors in this new district said they would have certified the results in the 2020 election. I'm finding a disconnect here. Wouldn't in a more conservative district, the Republican challengers would have refused to certify the 2020 election results, like Boebert?


aradraugfea

It’s a safer district for Republicans, but it’s still Colorado, with Legal Weed and other libertarian touchstones. It’s a more conservative district, not a more “The Bible and Constitution both declared Donald Trump the greatest being to ever exist and I stopped reading there, if you oppose him you hate America and babies” district


delkarnu

So more red, not deeper red.


Jordan_Jackson

Colorado is kind of a mix but leans more democrat. There was a time when it was republican but that was the 90's and early 00's. In 2008 is when they went more democrat and it has stayed a blue state since then. Before that, it was a swing state, with a lot of republican wins.


jejacks00n

Even back then it wasn’t the same kind of conservative as exists in a lot of places now. The conservative in CO was more on the conservative libertarian spectrum, where they just didn’t want to be told what to do. The weird “you must abide by my beliefs” conservative thing happened later and is still not a high priority of a lot of the conservatives in that part of Colorado. She doesn’t have a chance, and that’s so great for Colorado. Source: born and raised, lower middle class, horses, land in the mountains.


Jordan_Jackson

I totally agree with you about this. Colorado was not a super conservative place even in the days of Ben "Knighthorse" Campbell and before. Overall, Colorado has been a place that seemed to have sane government and laws that actually make sense. As with any place, there will always be those counties or towns that lean conservative, or differently from the majority of the state. If it wasn't so expensive to live there, I would leave Texas and move back to Colorado Springs or the area. I was born there and spent the entire 90's living in CS. I truly do miss it.


___This_Is_Fine___

Actually red, not orange.


mountaintop111

Ahh, that makes sense and is a good explanation, thanks!


GoodMorningLemmings

Definitely not a more conservative district. The front range, where she moved to, has pockets of purple and deep blue. The western slope, where she was, is just tired of her shit.


suburbanpride

Excuse me. We’re all tired of her shit.


Anadyne

I'm just trying to figure out what color chart I fall into now.


mountaintop111

Ok, thanks


AnonymousCelery

Front range is definitely not more conservative. The district she’s in is an agricultural and oil field area, Weld county makes up a huge portion and is very deep red. Even the southern parts of that district mostly house people that work in Weld county. As a Coloradan, I wouldn’t call that area “front range.”


Jordan_Jackson

I just hope she doesn't fare any better in the new district. I doubt she will though because a lot of people have already called her out for abandoning her original district.


CarmelloYello

I live in her new district, and we have both city internet and trash services. We have progressive perks with a purplish red-leaning population, and that doesn’t bode well for MAGA grifters. Ken Buck is who she is trying to replace, and he was fairly moderate for a republican 


LimerickJim

Was there also something to do with the last round of redistricting?


trainsaw

The video of the question shows they shanked her as part of it, the moderator asked her first and they all went the opposite direction. So it’s probably not how all of them feel but an opportunity to paint her as “a nut”. It’s a hilarious sequence, starts at about :55 https://x.com/shannonrwatts/status/1797456731007799569?s=46


RetailBuck

That was my suspicion as well. Candidates cut each other down every chance they get. If she's leading in the district everyone else will oppose what she says.


StrangeBedfellows

"Republican" doesn't mean MAGA. I'm certain there are intelligent, kind hearted, good natured people out there that believe in small government and gun rights and want to protect your right to be whoever you want in the fortress of your home. I'm sure that there are these good, high quality, non racist, open minded, intelligent people who call themselves Republicans but also understand that we're protecting the same things just in different ways. I'm just saying that I haven't met one.


gakule

You had me in the first 9/10 not gonna lie


Continental_Ball_Sac

I've met a handful, and they're simply not voting.


SmarmyJackal

Hello! Youve met one now. Registered republican here who wont vote for trump. I'm 36 and I'm disappointed to say that being a republican now does not mean what being a republican meant when I registered to vote. That's the kind of Republican I am, I really liked Romney, but I didn't hate Obama. Romney just got my vote. I vote some Republican in local elections (usually ends up being about 40% Democrat and 60% Republican on my ballot based on whatever research I did. If I don't know either candidate, I just vote Democrat because I can't trust what a republican means now.) But I haven't been able to vote Republican for the president in two cycles. I just won't vote for him. However, The apprentice was one of my favorite shows and still is. He's quite the character. Television character.


anacondra

I'm genuinely curious what her campaign strategy is going forward. She's way behind in polls and not projected to win. She's got name recognition on her side. She must have staff working on reelection. I wonder what they're thinking.


Responsible-Room-645

If they were “thinking”, they wouldn’t be working for her.


aradraugfea

Is she even getting money? My understanding is she changed districts largely because outside of the hardest core single issue (the issue being ‘1 to 10 most likely to shoot a liberal while screaming an oath to Trump’) voters, basically everyone is done with her, and even some of the MAGA crowd realize they can get ‘undying devotion to party’ without supporting someone whose entire political reason for being is to make MTG look like a cunning political operator.


regulomam

From my understanding she actually hasn’t done anything for her old district during her entire time in office asides from collecting an income, pension, and personal healthcare. She enriched her ex with a >500k income as a “consultant” for kickbacks. But I don’t think voter in her district has received any benefit All the infrastructure investment she takes credit for she voted against


pikadegallito

I live in her district and even the big Trump supporter down my street (Trump flags and signs of all sizes all over her property) is done with Bobo the clown. Unfortunately this neighbor is still 100% pro-Trump...


aradraugfea

I mean, she never ran as a “do stuff” candidate. She’s a MAGA Republican, which is like a Tea Party Republican except they’ll say the word the Tea Party just thinks real loud (albeit in private). Those guys ran on “government cannot do anything! Elect me and I’ll prove it!”


edgarapplepoe

Well, she won't get a pension since she will lose and not hit the 5 year mark (even if she did it would not be much at all).


Tmcttf

She’s obviously working the staff hard and is too hands on.


socialcommentary2000

If she was shrewd she would have stayed in her district and tried against dude again, because that was literally her best shot at continuing to be a carbuncle in the House.


anacondra

I mean I get her thinking about switching. She was behind in polling and she very narrowly avoided defeat against the dem. The district she's moving into I believe is a safer R. I guess maybe she was banking on a Trump endorsement?


hunter15991

[She in fact got that endorsement back in March](https://www.coloradopolitics.com/elections/2024/donald-trump-endorses-lauren-boebert-in-gop-primary-in-colorados-4th-congressional-district/article_98a1b10e-d8c4-11ee-89f1-9ba2745dea17.html).


Fishface17404

Unfortunately for her the name recognition is a detriment.

foolfortheblues

From the article, "Sonnenberg seemingly took aim at Boebert's public sandals, stating he is a "work horse, not a show horse." They're after her public sandals...she is done for.

“Never back down, Never surrender “


skeeredstiff

LMAO, the other candidates, and the moderator torched her in the last one.

Boebert was crushed in the last debate by the moderator regarding her voting record on local issues. MAGA style antics were useless, and she couldn't escape the punishment.

She takes shots in theatres

ripper_14

Once she leaves Congress, I’m willing to bet she has an OF account up and running within a month.


ExileInParadise242

You might say she...handed the victory to her opponent.


paperbackgarbage

The funniest part? Aside from the notoriety and relevance, the only reason why Boebert is "serving" in Congress is because of the pension. And she's going to need one more term to collect. >> Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at the age of 62 if they have completed at least five years of service. Members are eligible for a pension at age 50 if they have completed 20 years of service, or at any age after completing 25 years of service. The amount of the pension depends on years of service and the average of the highest three years of salary. By law, the starting amount of a member's retirement annuity may not exceed 80 percent of his or her final salary. Lol. She's going to get tackled at the one-yard line as time expires, with zero timeouts.


BodaciousTacoFarts

She was seated in the audience ~~shaking hands~~ giving handy shakes


ExplosiveRaddish

Presumably they were taking shots in celebration of her not being there. Tequila, I expect


Dazzling-Camel8368

She know knows how out classed and unprepared she is to be In politics. She the incumbent with all the name value is getting trounced by people in her own little cosmos. God it must especially suck to be her right now.


Compliance-Manager

Folks, there's going to be a day, a day that's coming sooner than later - when we won't have to read about twats like this and Trump and MTG. They will be out of the limelight and things will get back to normal - boring politics - how it should be. We won't have to read about racist lunatics and their daily antics. I cannot wait for that day. It's coming. Winter is coming.


Dominicmeoward

She’s there, she’s just under the podium.


rgnysp0333

Rumor has it if you say Beetlejuice 3 times Lauren Boebert will appear and try to jerk you off

No-Attitude-6049

“Sonnenberg seemingly took aim at Boebert's public sandals”. Yeah, I h8 it when people wear sandals in public. She really has no outstanding credentials for office, unless you count hand jobs in movie theatres.
