      For those not aware, she’s a far right congress woman that publically hates on the LGBT community. The issue here isn’t that this guy is cool with alternative peeps, it’s that she’s a hypocrite.

    Imagine AOC stroking hers BF dick, while he fondles her Tits. In a Theater. With Video-Footage. Imagine what Bobblehead would say to that. Craaaazy low standards in the Republican party.

    Not even divorced yet and she’s already getting fingerbanged in public with her affair partner. That’s some fine Republican family values there, making her grandchild conceived outside of teenaged marriage proud.

        “Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, Lauren Boebert got fingered in a public theatre, or that she was dry jerking her bf in public while her divorce is still warm, nobody panics, because it’s all “part of the plan”. But when I say that AOC was protesting abortion rights outside the supreme court, well then everyone loses their minds!”

    It’s strange how these people always and consistently fall short of the values they’re trying to force on others.

    There’s one of those dropkicks in the Australian parliament. One of those staunch conservative, deeply catholic people. Was dead set against same sex marriage because ‘it devalues traditional marriage’. One day it came out that he’d been cheating on his wife and the mother of his four children with a woman half his age (he was nearing sixty at the time). Not only did he get his mistress pregnant, he also set her up with a cushy job in parliament.

    His response when questioned about all this in relation to his claims about gay marriage: “I never said I was a saint.”

        Oh, this guy wasn’t joking. He just thought that his own standards, which he wants to force on others, didn’t apply to him, and was completely unapologetic about that fact becoming public knowledge.

        This is also know as hypocrisy.

      John 8:7 ESV / 34 helpful votes And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

      Fucking hypocritical politicians, same the world over.

        Not to mention that particular passage was added to the bible hundreds of years after it was assembled by a random scribe scribbling in the margins, they don’t even understand the nature of their sacred text… (Check out Misquoting Jesus, excellent read…)

    A report from the Advocate, the LGBTQ+ news outlet, noted that the man who accompanied her to Beetlejuice was a Democrat named Quinn Gallagher who is the proprietor of a bar that has hosted LGBTQ+ events and drag performances, which have often been targets of the political right.

      This, to me, was the most noteworthy part of the whole event! One of them has to be at least a little two faced and not believe what they “stand for”. Boebert has a reputation that is just irreconcilable with Democrat values. I’m all for getting along but this is such an extreme belief difference, how is it not an issue!

      Nah, it’s “She has recognized that which was wrong and has repented. God has forgiven her and who are we to judge?”

      Of course, when it’s a liberal, it’s, “They refuse to recant their evil ways, we must stone them to death!”

      They neither care nor critically think about their candidate’s personal lives. They “deal with it” through whataboutism, thought terminating cliches, etc.

      All they care about is their candidates “hurting the right people”.

      That’s actually being kind to them. They demand forgiveness and understanding for their own shitty deeds but the moment someone on their giant list of undesirables has a hair out of place, it’s off to the gallows for them.

      She’s dogshit. We knew she was dogshit. The people voting for her do so specifically because she’s dogshit.

      When I went to see Beetlejuice (on tour) I was really amazed by how many kids were there. There’s quite a bit of lewd and innuendo-laden humor in it…and Beetlejuice (the character) is, quite openly, bisexual.

      Not to say anything bad about the show. I loved it. It was fucking great. Just…a bit surprising. I imagine like me, many parents were probably thinking it’d be more in line with the much more innocent cartoon series or the film.
