Lauren Boobert - Tits and a Gun

lol
get the fuck out of here with your dimestore psychoanalysis 
what a fucking joke, in addition to being unbelievably smug and condescending
I'm fully aware of what I am and am not saying, and I never drew any sort of false equivalence. This place is such a circle jerk echo chamber, to the point where you don't even read what people say, you just assume they're running a play out of some playbook and you jump to the end. 

I am not unbelievably smug and condescending.

My smugness and condescension is very, very believable. Just ask around.

And like hell you weren’t building false equivalencies. It’s exactly what you were doing. Fuck, it’s the ONLY thing you were doing. It’s a play the rest of the world recognizes because we’ve watched it being run repeatedly and relentlessly by OANN, Fox, Trump, and GOP leadership for years now. And you telling us “I’m not doing what I’m obviously doing” is just the remainder of that play.

Hey at least you're not humorless. You've got that going for you. 

 

You're right. A petition from staffers is a big deal. Huge. Boobert's gonna get it

You people clearly have a higher opinion of politicians than I do, at least the ones on "your side"

Or we don't have an inherently negative opinion of every politician simply by virtue of their occupation but judge them on the merits of their job performance? "Your side" is the one that consistently elects terrible people who believe government is inherently bad, uses that argument against those who don't subscribe to such simplistic buffoonery, gain power on said gambit, then prove the initial premise by crapping in their own hands and smearing the walls of Congress with shit while the numbnuts who voted for them infect social media and their favorite internet forums with bothsideritis.

You voted for Trump twice you fool. Maybe you should clean up your own mess and take some accountability instead of hiding behind weak false equivalencies and the same tired arguments about how they're all the same?

Do they have merit badges in the Democrat Super Scouts? If they do, you should get one for this speech.

Not really. By and large, we think of them as second-rate intellects who are often in it only for themselves (not always, but often), and even when they aren’t, they find it hard to stay that way, and they are usually way too influenced by all the wrong things.

The current crop of fucking insane lying sociopaths who aren’t just willing to, but are actively working to, undermine any semblance of a functioning republic, happily destroying all norms (even the most fundamental ones, like “a peaceful transition of power”), using absolutely insane, outlandish lies to do so….they stand aside and apart from mere “unsavory politicians.”

Most politicians are like your unpleasant uncle….he comes at Christmas, he drinks too much of your good scotch, he’s full of himself, tells stories that are just a bit too outlandish to be believed but you humor him anyway, and you’re damn glad he’s gone.

The current crop of GQP shitheads are like the other uncle who flat-out steals meds from your bathroom medicine cabinet, calls your wife a fucking cunt at the dinner table (and then when you call him on it, he yells at you for being a rude host), and not only will he not leave your house after Christmas, he insists it’s really HIS house, and you need to GTFO, and he gets his three POS kids to show up and start shit with you at your office.

We all deal with the first uncle. The second uncle should be kicked in the balls at the threshold of your home, after which you lock the door and arm yourself.

Why do I get the feeling that you’re this uncle?

Thanks!

 I'm not apologizing for not being infected by your simplistic  brand of poisonous nihilism and bothsideritis.

So does this mean we are up to three imbeciles on the board who admit to voting for trump in 2020? We all know there are silently tons more but few will actually admit that yes indeed, I am a piece of human excrement and I want the board to know it. 

I can only speak for myself

I don't pay close attention to local news but I notice stories of local kids missing from time to time. The stories seem to go across the spectrum of a parent taking the kid, a kid running away, and even the horrific stories of no idea who has the kid. 

To me the worst stories are like the one we recently saw in Houston where the mom abandoned her 3 alive and 1 dead child in an apt. And while the crime was 100% on the mom and boyfriend, the govt failed those kids too. 

I don't see how the media comes into play with child disappearances.

I think you're missing the flow of this tactic.

  1. Attention whore: The other side is not doing something about this shocking but made up statistic so they are evil
  2. other side: But it's made up.  That's faux outrage for the sake of attention and fear mongering
  3. AW: There enlies (sic) the problem
  4. OS: You're a moron

Biden is doing an awesome job so far, unless you drive a car that uses gas or need to buy groceries (or anything else). Also, his promise to control COVID has been a total winner so far. 

Are you even remotely interested in the truth?

Don't answer that.  Negged.

Clearly inflation is Biden’s fault, and he is solely responsible for the population to avoid broader vaccination rates in controlling a virus that continues  to rage worldwide. 
 

You seem to lack critical thinking skills. 

Some of inflation is Biden's fault but overall the main problem has resulted from COVID and its effects, including shutdowns and the reactionary stimulus payments. How do you put cash into a system without causing inflation?

Your BIL sounds like a douche. But you guys don't know me and I don't know you but it's super easy to just assume the worst about each other on the internet. I'm not a Fox News guy and generally speaking think things are way more complicated than either side wants people to believe.

And….follow me here…..when you’ve had a massive GLOBAL (as in, areas outside of US control) supply chain interruption, and there is more demand for goods than there is supply….what happens to prices?

don't forget a labor shortage.

i think biden could be doing better, but there are severe economic factors out of his control. 

i'm curious as to how his critics want him to enact policy that will curb inflation and lower fuel prices. what's that look like?

it's just empty criticism, imo.

Trump completely mishandled Covid on the messaging/leadership level but when you compare what his administration did versus what Biden is doing regarding economic relief and the pandemic, this kinda sums it:

 

Weren’t many of these things completely shit on by the right once trump left office? Aren’t these the things that are being blamed for Biden’s inflation and labor issues?

You’re ignoring their feelings.  Their feelings were hurt.  They must lash out.  By saying fuck your feelings, and calling people snowflakes and stuff.  Remember, every accusation is a confession.  That holds 100% true with trump supporters.

Additionally, consolidated corporate control of many goods and services has exacerbated the inflation problem. The mega corporations are posting record profits and some are doing stock buy backs. They are using higher input costs as an excuse to inflate prices much higher than they should be because with almost no competition, they can get away with it.  Almost like they’re applying the pharmaceutical pricing model.  Additionally this gouging continues down the supply chain because when a supplier raises a price by a nickel, the middle man raise it a dime. That’s one way you get runaway “inflation.”

So which administration presided over the more socialistic response, and which the most capitalistic?

we did earlier in the pandemic.  the vast majority of the stimmies came and went with nary a sniff of inflation.  that shit was all spent and burned through by the time the inflation got started.  this inflation isn't due to the cash pushed into the system.

Ironically when it comes to policy, Republicans are advocates for corporate welfare (socialism) when they’re in power because they don’t have the political liability of being called a socialist and voters are too stupid to recognize socialism unless someone on Fox News cries about a democrat doing it. 
 

Regarding your question, I can’t answer it but I can tell you both administrations are exploiting the pandemic for political gain at the expense of the population.  The funny thing is Biden is behaving more like a traditional Republican on both a rhetorical and policy level. Disregard ongoing mass death, look at my fantastic economic numbers!

In what ways has Joe Biden failed to handle the pandemic as well as possible?  I think there is very little criticism possible on the vaccine front, save perhaps the emphasis on 2 shots ASAP as opposed to spreading 1 shot out over a larger swath of the population.  I have yet to see a convincing argument that this had a significant effect. 

I suspect there could have been a stronger national push for improved contact tracing.  What else?  I mean, his policoes directly impacted the rapid uptake of vaccines, and there is no way the previous administration would have have anywhere near that level of success, so at the most fundamental level, he gets a very positive grade.  Perhaps not perfect, but very good nonetheless.

Just looking at the stats for the previous year.

In 2019, 609,000 people were entered (or "intered" for Ms. Boebert) in the FBI's missing person's database.  544,000 were canceled (not actually missing) or cleared (came back).  At the close of 2019, the FBI had 87,400 active missing persons reports.  30,000 of those were 18 and under, 39,000 were 21 and under.  The vast majority were runaways, with a small number being abducted by non-custodial parents, and a very tiny amount by strangers (well less than 1% it looks like).

So I'm thinking an intern, or Lauren, just grabbed a figure from a social media post and threw it out there, not realizing that the active cases are actually only in the tens of thousands.

As I have long suspected, SeX TrAfFiCkinG is more an internet meme than a real problem.  https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/01/children-sex-trafficking-conspiracy-epidemic/620845/

For reasons I don't understand, the meme seems to be being pumped by the federal government, as much as anyone.  The whole thing pretty much started with the Adam Walsh Act.  I mean, seriously, you have a criminal law enacted that's named after the kid of a TV star?  

This is not to diminish the horror of it when it occurs, and it does.

you don't understand how increasing amounts of money for law enforcement can be justified by an appeal to fight against child sex trafficking, regardless of how made up or imaginary the problem actually is?  are you in favor of child sex trafficking?

It appears to be roughly on the scale of homicides in the US:  20K per year.  Nothing to diminish or overlook, but not 800K, either.

It's much older than that- this is just the latest incarnation. Hell, I'm old enough to remember the Satanic Panic of the early 80's, and all of the "stranger danger" worries (when the overwhelming majority of child abductions are facilitated by a family member or family friend).
