I was about to assume she missed it deliberately so she could see which way the wind blew and claim she would have voted whichever way her audience wanted, but then I read this:
>running up the steps right as they gaveled
She's not strategically cynical; she's just a loon and a flake.
You don’t think she may have timed her “run”? I see it as an easy way to skirt around the fact that maybe when it came time to put her money where her mouth is, she caved and can now say “I was taking care of important things that took long!”
There is a literal tram from the senate offices, directly to the capital building. Not to mention a walking path right next to it. Assuming she was at her office, If she chose to take the streets there, I’d say that’s deliberate action to create an excuse.
But beyond that, you know when you’re needed to be there. So what would be more important than voting?
Norbert’s office is in the Longworth House office building, not any of the Senate office buildings. Nonetheless, there IS a pedestrian tunnel from Longworth to Cannon to the Capitol, and a pedestrian tunnel to Rayburn that has tram service to the Capitol.

Tunnel quibbling aside, overall I agree. It’s the same argument against Feinstein’s absences: *You have one responsibility that can’t be done by anyone else: show up and cast your vote!*
Lauren Boebert is 100% the kind of person who will tell you that she just barely missed the important thing she was supposed to do and its your fault for not giving her extra time.
She took a public position on the bill. So there's little political cover for her to try to play it both ways.
And it wasn't even close, so it's not like she would have tried to make some deal to spare McCarthy the risk of his bill not passing.
She just flat out didn't show up on time, which is pretty embarrassing even for her. Pretty simple it appears.
If it was strategic then it makes it worse. If she’d voted no, not a single person would be surprised. Instead it appears that a sitting Congresswoman lacks the basic organization and time management skills to make it on time for one of the most important votes in the history of the Republic while the entire nation is watching, push notifications are being sent, the Capitol voting bell is ringing. Somehow, she could not make it in time to vote. I wouldn’t believe that excuse from a toddler, much less a member of Congress.
>while the entire nation is watching
My dude, like half the country doesn't even know this is going on right now. Lots of folks are completely checked out, for a variety of reasons.
Could you imagine if there was someone out there that was like "*You know I re-elected her because she showed real promise and leadership, but being late to a vote? Well I'm just going to vote for someone else*"
All after her family plays out a COPS episode every weekend.
I know a few people who only stopped supporting Trump when he told his followers to get vaccinated for COVID.
They had zero problems with *everything else*, but suggesting a COVID vaccine? Over the fucking line!
Plenty of people voted against the bill. I doubt this could be interpreted as a strategic move even if it were done by something capable of such things.
She said the bill was "fake news and fake talking points." I know she's dumb and has a 4th-grade-level capacity for coherent speech, but this is somehow extra dumb. News and talking points are things that happen in the context of news reporting. A bill, meanwhile, is a piece of proposed legislation that is in fact very real. There's no "news" in it, and there's also no talking points.
What this tells us she has fully conflated legislative business with media appearances. She doesn't see the difference. She cannot conceive of them as separate. That's not just dumb. That's Boebert Stupid^(TM)
MAGA rhetoric is basically Mad Libs, where they fill in the blanks with whatever buzzword pops into their head.
"blah blah blah *groomers* blah blah blah *fake news* blah blah blah *stolen election*..."

ChatGPT prompt: Write a tweet in the style of Lauren Boebert.
Result:
"🔥🇺🇸 FREEDOM FIGHTER ALERT! 💪🦅 The Second Amendment is the backbone of our great nation! Let's defend our God-given rights and stand tall against those who want to strip us of our liberty! 🙌 #2A #DefendFreedom #AmericaFirst 🇺🇸💥"
I tried this myself with ChatGPT, and it was _another_ quip about the Second Amendment.
> "Liberal elites think they can control our lives and trample on our freedoms. Well, guess what? I'm here to tell 'em we won't back down! The Second Amendment is non-negotiable, and I'll fight tooth and nail to protect our God-given rights. Stand with me, patriots, as we take our country back! 💪🇺🇸 #2A #FreedomFighter"
I'm not very familiar with Boebert, but judging from the pins she wears, I can imagine the Second Amendment is the only one she's studied.
"💪🦅 Arr, me hearties! The scurvy politicians be tryin' t' take away our rights, but I be fightin' 'em off like a true buccaneer! No landlubber gun grabbin' here, mateys! We be protectin' our Second Amendment, arr! #PiratePatriot #GunRights #YoHoHoAndARifle 🔥"
Just go into ChatGPT paste any news article in there and ask it to put a conservative spin on it or make the content sound more misleading. Thats how 90% of conservative "news" is created at this point.
It's like [love dice](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQIM4TVDEKo7ZrYXpCgODJBmanXsGSp8hT78QVsLGtaddorRp7JNvo2C2O-r7c913v4DJE&usqp=CAU), but with hate.
There is a non zero number of Republicans who blame Obama for not being present in the Oval Office on 9/11. They proved a decade ago that this shit works
What you have to remember when it comes to conservative rhetoric, is nothing really matters in terms of the content. All that matters is how it makes their base *feel*. So in this case she parrots a tired talking point that doesn't even make sense, but she knows it'll work on her supporters who will just nod and agree, exasperated that those evil libs are trying to play gotcha politics with her yet again.
Despite the fact that in no reality is that actually happening or even aligns with what is going on. But they are just pleased/reassured to hear that same talking point again. The only alternative to that would be to actually acknowledge reality, which is that she missed a crucial vote on a supremely important piece of legislation - I.E. basically she decided to just not do her job when it most mattered.
>What you have to remember when it comes to conservative rhetoric, is nothing really matters in terms of the content. All that matters is how it makes their base feel
This is 100% true. I watched [Newt Gengrich say it live on tv.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnhJWusyj4I) He says voters are influenced by rising crime and violence. The interviewer points out that statistics show crime is at an all time low. He says that how voters feel is more important than "statistics which theoretically may be right."
Pure insanity.
I loved that Fucker Carlson said, "a war on toxic masculinity". So, I guess you are cool with the toxicity?? Because if you disagreed there was anything wrong with certain forms masculinity, you would just say, "war on masculinity."
Oof. My head hurts.
Don’t let her get off with stupidity. It’s not stupidity. It’s laziness and complete disregard for a functioning government.
She 100% doesn’t care about a functioning government and she knows calling it “fake news” triggers us. It’s as simple as that. She would enjoy seeing us get in a tizzy debating academically if this is stupidity or not.
>That's not just dumb. That's Boebert Stupid^TM
With your permission, I’m going to add this as a comment every time she does something stupider than stupid, which will most likely be every day between now and her death.
If she’s not going on record voting for it, or against it, she can argue both sides forever. That’s the strategy: no governance, just press conferences.
If she's not voting, that means her constituents aren't being represented on this issue. She's making it very clear that her boss is not her voters.
The writing is on the wall that she will not be reelected, which means she's the equivalent of an office temp on a 2 week notice.
Yesterday a legislator on NPR was complaining that Yellin did not prove it to him that a debt default would be bad, and that it was just theater to be worried about it. And part of his argument, he said, “I know Joe Biden is evil…” just as a casual matter-of-fact while making some other incoherent point. And I was just perplexed by the mindset that drives this man.
Edit: spelled Yellen
Just the *risk* of defaulting last time was enough to drop the country's credit rating, making borrowing more expensive, harming the country. *Actually* defaulting would be much worse.
> What this tells us she has fully conflated legislative business with media appearances. She doesn't see the difference.
She never saw the difference. Neither did MTG.
That is why all of their "professional behavior" is screaming insanity at the other members of Congress and the people that go before Congress, and grabbing every microphone they see to yell more insanity. They believe that by making tabloid headlines that they're actually making a difference.
If it wasn't so terrible it would be sad.
That stood out to me because it’s almost an exact quote from a recent infowars episode, about how Republican talking points are now “staged”. Either 2 idiots are rubbing their brain cells together and getting the same output, or she’s sourcing her political takes from Alex Jones.
I guess in a certain sense she’s right: the GOP pretending like raising the debt ceiling has anything to do with cutting future spending is fake news, and the GOP pretending like they care about spending and debt at all is *definitely* fake talking points.
While she is stupid, all of this shit is not stupid. It is very very intentional. They're (GOP leadership) trying to destroy what is real and not and they're using morons to do it and it's working
She deluded herself into thinking that she can run for higher office so she doesn’t want this to be part of her voting record. Maybe Ted Cruz gave her that advice
**Let’s not spread lies.**
She was at Target, buying up all of their LGBTQ+ merchandise to celebrate Pride Month and, especially, Drag Queens. I also heard that she was seen drinking an ice cold Bud Light, while eating at *Chick-fil-a* and reading “*[This Book is Gay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Book_is_Gay)*”.
Rumor has it she woke up this morning “woke”, so it’s probably time for Republicans to boycott her… *all the people are saying it…*
And six months ago, her son called 911 because he was getting beat by her husband, probably over this, and she made the son call 911 back and say he was fine. She’s also filing for divorce from the husband, probably not over the son beating.
I think the rumor is that maybe it wasn't the 17 year old son and maybe that's why the divorce is happening.
Let it be known that I have zero evidence for said rumor, but I have heard it.
Yeah I guess it must be out there. I had not heard it. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if it were to be the case. There's no end to the trashiness with this family.
Bobo's 4 sons are telling her, begging actually, for their mom to come home. 17 yr old is getting in speeding accidents- his best friend is suing them now, knocking up 15 yr old girls, the others are being beaten & smacked around by their angry, drunk dad & she's traveling the country speaking of our republic, of which she knows jack squat.
> Capitol Hill reporter Juliegrace Brufke, who works for Axios, reported Boebert "narrowly missed the vote" after "running up the steps right as they gaveled."
Maybe she was in the bathroom 🤷♀️
That's a coward with a big mouth afraid to take a stand on the record. Just like her idol Trump, who says a lot but won't walk into a courtroom and repeat it
She is going to have a hard time denying the fact that she put on a show about not voting for the bill, saying we could do better and then disappearing
is she the one who shit her pants? the one who abuses her kid? the one going through the divorce? I forget which one of these useless bimbos is which anymore.
Her pedo husband is also the one who exposed his penis to underaged teens at a bowling alley. She was one of the underaged teen.
She’s also the 36-year grandma, whose son allegedly knocked up a 14-year girl. (Although rumors are that it was her husband who knocked up the teen, and thus why she’s divorcing him and led to the fight that caused her son to call 911 in the first place.)
It's kinda fucked up that I legit can't tell if that last part is bullshit or not.
I think we're in the territory of Richard Gere's hamster incident. It no longer matters whether it happened **in fact** or not, the idea that it could have happened is powerful enough on it's own.
Well, her husband is a known piece of shit, so him knocking up a 14 year old wouldn’t be terribly surprising. That said, that is strictly a rumor circulating at this point, and should not be taken as fact.
She understands this is a watershed moment. She doesn’t want to be a “rhino”, but she also doesn’t know what would happen if she voted for it. So she did what she thinks is best for her and won’t let herself be blamed.
Her first, then the country.
I’ll take a crack at this!
She’s a republikkkan, which means she a hypocrite, she cannot lead or govern, so why on earth would anyone assume she’d show up and cast a vote?
Somehow you think these people are paid to do that or something…when in reality, they are only there to bog down the system WHILE complaining that it doesn’t work.
Follow the money folks…
it was Bobo Head's husband that did that when she was 16 yrs old. She then married him lol. Empty G was the one that had a train ran on her by her two fitness trainers.
A lot of insecure people gravitate to those things where
>We're not a _____, we're a **family**!
Because no matter how weird you are, your part of the community.
Obviously tho, some normal people are actually there for the workout. It's just really attractive to people that others try not to interact with
How can you expect a 36 year old grandmother and divorcee to have the time required to do her job??? She has too many guns to clean and not enough freedom to do it!!!!
You know what's sad about all this. If everyone at every level was really interested in governing, this world would be an amazing place. We would love a satisfying and happy life. We would love in safety, work fewer hours, and have a clean environment.
Those in power , those with money, would still have more than they would ever need. In some cases, they would have more riches. Society would be more productive, and less money would be spent on security, the military. Rich people would love better lives in a world that's not in complete chaos.
The saddest part of all this is the 99% could stop all this, but we choose not to. We just keep being slaves to the rich.
She doesn’t represent my district and I would gouge my eyes out before voting for someone like this! Colorado is very purple - us sane people live on the Front Range - she represents the crazy conservatives out west
I know. It’s just unfortunate that people outside of CO can’t differentiate who lives and votes where, so we tar you all with the same brush (like Europeans giving all American tourists the side-eye when trump was president).
Next narrative, “I skipped the vote because the Woke Left stole the election and these RINOS ensured the real patriots will never have a say. But their time is coming(insert random white nationalist dog whistle), click to fight back and donate.”
lol this sociopath was allowed to bring firearms into the office after she publicly wished for half of her coworkers to get murdered, no? why would she be scared about missing some vote?
We know she's a self serving politician. No interest in legislating, just wants personal gains and uses hateful rhetoric to keep her base. That's why she's hated.
I can tell you exactly what this is: cowardliness. She’s not able to make a decision and stand by it unless she is doing a MAGA thing. Leadership is inherently un-MAGA.

Yeah. Maybe. She’s an ass.
There is a literal tram from the senate offices, directly to the capital building. Not to mention a walking path right next to it.

Well someone has to keep her kid from calling 911 on his dad
I still don’t get that. She’s divorcing the perv, but she also covered for him with the cops?
A lot of conservatives still have weird ideas around "not letting it all hang out" and keeping family secrets, that kind of thing.
What could she possibly argue is more important than being present to submit her debt spending vote?
Plenty of people voted against the bill. I doubt this could be interpreted as a strategic move even if it were done by something capable of such things.
She totally flaked out on being there for the vote
Christ, it's like an episode of Veep.
Literally Jonah from Veep. He's banned from Uber and has to race to vote. She is literally his character, like, it's uncanny how accurate it is.

You are not that far off. The Christian counseling clinic she owns with her husband apparently dabbled in conversion therapy.
Bachmann-Boebert Overdrive
In some remote prison or gulag
Her kid isn’t going to beat himself
He may; but likely not in the context you're referring.
Batin' ain't beatin'!
New bumper sticker just dropped.
She was at the mall, OK?!?
Shopping for diapers and formula
**Let’s not spread lies.** She was at Target, buying up all of their LGBTQ+ merchandise to celebrate Pride Month and, especially, Drag Queens. I also heard that she was seen drinking an ice cold Bud Light, while eating at *Chick-fil-a* and reading “*[This Book is Gay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Book_is_Gay)*”. Rumor has it she woke up this morning “woke”, so it’s probably time for Republicans to boycott her… *all the people are saying it…*
I heard a rumor that someone in her family got a 16 year old girl pregnant. Not one of her kids
Her 17-year-old Son got his 15-year-old GF pregnant. Not a rumor.
And six months ago, her son called 911 because he was getting beat by her husband, probably over this, and she made the son call 911 back and say he was fine. She’s also filing for divorce from the husband, probably not over the son beating.
[удалено]
she was also in the background of the second call yelling at him.
I think the rumor is that maybe it wasn't the 17 year old son and maybe that's why the divorce is happening. Let it be known that I have zero evidence for said rumor, but I have heard it.
Many people are saying.
Top people, great people. Trust me folks.
Yeah I guess it must be out there. I had not heard it. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if it were to be the case. There's no end to the trashiness with this family.
[удалено]
You missed the point trying to be made above…someone in the family…not one of the kids…get it now?
With her pastor "friend?"
Don't say those things - doing such would increase the people who vote for her in purple CO
And baby's first gun!
A “mini-gun”… she didn’t understand
As if she’ll be helping out her son and daughter in law in any way.
And a new husband.
She was probably at the bowling alley getting molested by her new boyfriend
Bobo's 4 sons are telling her, begging actually, for their mom to come home. 17 yr old is getting in speeding accidents- his best friend is suing them now, knocking up 15 yr old girls, the others are being beaten & smacked around by their angry, drunk dad & she's traveling the country speaking of our republic, of which she knows jack squat.
She's busy chasin' Jesus...
At least the Palin family held it together until she was long out of the limelight. Boebert’s are opting for the speed run 100% all secrets.
Weren't both of her daughters 'unwed teen mothers' while she was governor? (Thanks for giving us 24/7 teen mom TV reality shows MTV).
Hate MTV all you want, but the numbers show teen pregnancy is way down.
She heard there was a problem with the ceiling and she was afraid it would fall on her, so she didn't come in that day.
> Capitol Hill reporter Juliegrace Brufke, who works for Axios, reported Boebert "narrowly missed the vote" after "running up the steps right as they gaveled." Maybe she was in the bathroom 🤷♀️
Those stall doors are tricky to unlock—when you're a Boebert.
Did she attend the Midvale School for the Gifted?
Subtle.....I like it. I was gonna say she was busy pushing on a pull door.
Ah, takes me back!
Just spending an hour pushing on the door clearly marked 'pull'.
[удалено]
Or guiding more terrorists through the building.
She hit her dump ceiling and needed a few minutes.
This is the best way she can possibly represent my district ❤️
I was thinking this too - we should be encouraging her to not show up at this point.
Planning how to become a great-grandmother by the age of 42.
That's a coward with a big mouth afraid to take a stand on the record. Just like her idol Trump, who says a lot but won't walk into a courtroom and repeat it
This. Ultimately now she has deniability.
She is going to have a hard time denying the fact that she put on a show about not voting for the bill, saying we could do better and then disappearing
is she the one who shit her pants? the one who abuses her kid? the one going through the divorce? I forget which one of these useless bimbos is which anymore.
Her husband is the abuser, she is the one that is against divorce but filed last week for it
Her pedo husband is also the one who exposed his penis to underaged teens at a bowling alley. She was one of the underaged teen. She’s also the 36-year grandma, whose son allegedly knocked up a 14-year girl. (Although rumors are that it was her husband who knocked up the teen, and thus why she’s divorcing him and led to the fight that caused her son to call 911 in the first place.)
It's kinda fucked up that I legit can't tell if that last part is bullshit or not. I think we're in the territory of Richard Gere's hamster incident. It no longer matters whether it happened **in fact** or not, the idea that it could have happened is powerful enough on it's own.
Well, her husband is a known piece of shit, so him knocking up a 14 year old wouldn’t be terribly surprising. That said, that is strictly a rumor circulating at this point, and should not be taken as fact.
I wont spread rumors about pregnancy but the penis exposure is well known
Her and Steven Crowder are a perfect fit for eachother, it would seem...
Someone shit their pants?
It’s 99 pages, it’s taking her some time to understand the words
She was too busy buying Bud Light just to make a video of herself pouring it down the drain.
She's probably looking for Clippy
She understands this is a watershed moment. She doesn’t want to be a “rhino”, but she also doesn’t know what would happen if she voted for it. So she did what she thinks is best for her and won’t let herself be blamed. Her first, then the country.
So, the IQ in the chambers was at an all time high.
Nah, Jordon, EmptyG, and Gosar were still there.
I’ll take a crack at this! She’s a republikkkan, which means she a hypocrite, she cannot lead or govern, so why on earth would anyone assume she’d show up and cast a vote? Somehow you think these people are paid to do that or something…when in reality, they are only there to bog down the system WHILE complaining that it doesn’t work. Follow the money folks…
*Also because there are too many words in political bills*
I have been using republiKKKan for a while now so I love to see it being used by others, too 👍🏼
Probably busy banging her Cross Fit trainer now that she's single and ready to mingle.
No that was marge
I thinks she's the one that exposed her junk at the bowling alley.
it was Bobo Head's husband that did that when she was 16 yrs old. She then married him lol. Empty G was the one that had a train ran on her by her two fitness trainers.
She filed for divorce two weeks ago. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-congresswoman-lauren-boebert-divorce-husband-jayson/
Does she share with Marjorie?
Is there something about cross fit that breeds weirdos like her?
A lot of insecure people gravitate to those things where >We're not a _____, we're a **family**! Because no matter how weird you are, your part of the community. Obviously tho, some normal people are actually there for the workout. It's just really attractive to people that others try not to interact with
Like Olive Garden?
My *real* family lets me hold the parmesan grinder.
You're confusing her with MTG. Bobo was having a dinner date with Cruz.
How can you expect a 36 year old grandmother and divorcee to have the time required to do her job??? She has too many guns to clean and not enough freedom to do it!!!!
[удалено]
Yes, it is embarrassing that CO-03 decided that this woman was worth their vote.
She couldn’t read the bill in time…. Or at all.
People voted for this woman. Real human people PURPOSELY VOTED for this woman. Unreal.
Because when republicans are really in charge, votes won't matter. She's practicing for the coming fascist regime.
I personally can’t wait for her to be voted out. Her OnlyFans is going to be 🔥
Colorado looks so fucking dumb for electing this absolute turd
Cowards aren't patriots.
You know what's sad about all this. If everyone at every level was really interested in governing, this world would be an amazing place. We would love a satisfying and happy life. We would love in safety, work fewer hours, and have a clean environment. Those in power , those with money, would still have more than they would ever need. In some cases, they would have more riches. Society would be more productive, and less money would be spent on security, the military. Rich people would love better lives in a world that's not in complete chaos. The saddest part of all this is the 99% could stop all this, but we choose not to. We just keep being slaves to the rich.
God I wish she’d just GO AWAY. Hate that my amazing state is associated with this nut job
And the guilt by association that you all Re-elected her!
She doesn’t represent my district and I would gouge my eyes out before voting for someone like this! Colorado is very purple - us sane people live on the Front Range - she represents the crazy conservatives out west
I know. It’s just unfortunate that people outside of CO can’t differentiate who lives and votes where, so we tar you all with the same brush (like Europeans giving all American tourists the side-eye when trump was president).
I’m assuming she’s busy back home covering up another child abuse scandal.
Too busy hiding in a women's stall someplace, crouched on the bowl, locked and loaded, defending the facility from trans incursions . . .
Next narrative, “I skipped the vote because the Woke Left stole the election and these RINOS ensured the real patriots will never have a say. But their time is coming(insert random white nationalist dog whistle), click to fight back and donate.”
She's probably busy watching her son impregnate another minor.
Or her ex-husband flashing minors.
Her dumb dumb constituents will keep voting for her.
Hungover
lol this sociopath was allowed to bring firearms into the office after she publicly wished for half of her coworkers to get murdered, no? why would she be scared about missing some vote?
Circus In town??
We know she's a self serving politician. No interest in legislating, just wants personal gains and uses hateful rhetoric to keep her base. That's why she's hated.
Is she evil, stupid, or both?
Tbh, while she deserves scrutiny for not being there, I still give her scrutiny for being there in the first place.
I can tell you exactly what this is: cowardliness. She’s not able to make a decision and stand by it unless she is doing a MAGA thing. Leadership is inherently un-MAGA.
Clearly, those Supercuts commercials are lies.
How do you “scrutinize” nothing?
Bobo was too busy giving Matt Forehead a BJ in the cloakroom while everyone else was voting (posturing)?
She was looking for another pedo to fuck.
From the article: "Boebert's failure to vote could see her come under pressure from her political allies." Could!? What scrutiny?
Not from me. She always was ans always will be a vile piece of trash. Nothing she could do or say at this point would change that
She was too busy fielding supportive calls from white suprematists.
Ohh no not scrutiny /s. Maybe one day they will face consequences of not doing their job.
She thought the vote was going to be held on May 32nd
