How about that?

- This fucking killed me. Holy shit. 😂 Thank you for that.
  
  These always remind me of like 30ish years ago id take my sisters barbie coloring books and do 10yr old gross and mature young boy "humors" bubbles who woulda thunk this would eventually become a staple of memes over the years. I got in shit something about Skipper making pancakes and Kens bubble saying something like "those flapjacks are always as flat as yours!" Yeah I got pretty cuffed by my grandmother. Well deserved.

All the news keeps talking about her vaping as though that's the main problem here. Maybe don't engage in sexual activities in public. Like, actual sexual activities such as fondling genitals. Not conservatives' idea of sexual activities, which involves wearing skirts and makeup.
- Wait what happened? I saw the vaping but what else did she do
  
  She was caught on camera fondling a guy in the theater. It probably would have gone unnoticed if she hadn't called attention to herself by disrupting the show, vaping, and then denying that she was vaping.
- The main problem is that people in Colorado voted for her. Vaping is harmful and it's a problem for her apparently and could potentially influence others. The pda stuff is icky but more of a social norms issue - so yeah, it's next on the list. I'm still just utterly repulsed by the main problem though.
  
  You don't thing wanking people off in front of kids is a wee bit more than "problematic"?
  
  TIL that an over the pants handjob is PDA.
  
  You should take a look at her district. She represents an area barely anybody lives in. The people of colorado by and large hate her.
  
  Lol, right. The main problem is the people who voted for her. Definitely worse than giving a handy in a theater full of children. /s
- Most people have been a little frisky with their date in a movie theater. It's what teenagers do when there's nowhere else to go.
  
  But shes a grown ass woman, cant take it to the hotel
  
  Definitely good behavior for a congresswoman who makes "ALL T PEOPLE ARE PEDOPHILES AND GROOMERS" her rallying cry.

BBBBBBUT FOX NEWS SAID THE TRANS DRAG QUEEN COMMUNISTS WERE GOING TO EAT MY KID'S BALLS OFF?!?
this does not fit with my world view so I must ignore it
/s

Am I the only one out of the loop? I don't recognise anybody in this picture, and I don't know what happened. All I can see is some guy waving a hand in front of someone with a very nice cleavage.
- If you're not a yank then you probably won't know but basically one of their republican morons who shouts about trans people being a sexual danger to children and calling them rapists etc was caught having her very nice cleavage fondled in a theatre full of children.
  
  And giving the guy a little hand action
  
  So I trust that she's been arrested, fired from her position in government and barred from returning, jailed, and put on the sex offender list for life right?
  ...right?
  
  While tugging on the guy who was fondling her.
  Everything these conservatives accuse others of is just projection
  
  fondled in a theatre full of children.
  Let's not stoop to their (the right/GOP) level with the misinformation. While there may have been children present in the theater, most of the people there were adults.
  There's plenty enough wrong with what they were doing without trying to demonize them with additional lies.
  
  Also gave her bf a handjob through the pants and being disruptive.
  Which like it's a dark movie theater. Other than the talking during the movie, if it were any regular person I wouldn't say shit.
  
  It's like when will good smart people learn there is no good/right side only common people with supportive good communities where we uplift positive attitudes and as long as no one is causing damage as in actual harm; mentally or physically to others then live and let live. Currently we are all part of an existential blob of shit. There shouldnt be sides.
  
  The guy she's with is a democrat who owns a bar. The bar is lgbtq+ friendly and has hosted a drag show.
- If you do not know who she is -- do yourself a favor and do not research it. Unless you are a voter in her district or you are a US citizen, then by all means, do it and make her go away.
  
  Sorry, I wish I could help you with a vote. Don't worry the comments here told me everything I needed to know...
- Boebert and her guy got kicked out of a theater for heavy petting.

Sometime in the past I must have accidentally switched into the stupid dimension, how else can this amount of idiots in politics be explained
- I think the simulation ended on December 21, 2012.
  We're in the "one more turn" phase and they're just screwing with the sim.
  
  That or the system is trying to wake us all up from hyper-sleep by throwing increasingly impossible scenarios at us in order for our brains to wake up naturally.
  Except we keep looking at everything and going, “yeah, that makes sense, fuck it” and just not waking up.
  The machines are going mad trying to figure us out.
- We did. The mass Hardon Collider was built for a reason, technically in this case 2.
  
  Yep, threw us into the 'most unlikely' universe because everything was supposed to be destroyed except for the active observer, e.g., you, because paradox.
  Or at least that is the version I like to believe.
- They're in politics as a sock puppet to serve other wealthy people's interests not because they have great ideas for improving the lives and wellbeing of people.
  If you killed political donations, cushy job prospects post politics and the crazy idea that corporations are somehow people deserving of representation it might go a long way to purging these cookers from the system.
- How do we keep voting these people in?
  
  I don't know if you want an actual answer but this particular idiot's opponent was a millionaire whose entire campaign strategy was spamming people with mail pointing out he is not Boebert...so vote for him on that merit? He couldn't even make any statements on how he would help voters of this district or take a stand on any issues. He's running again so we'll see if he has learned anything.
  This area (like so many around the country) is struggling. Outside of the die-hard Republicans who are a lost cause, people don't appreciate a rich outsider talking down to them. The frustrating part is during the Democratic primary there was another candidate who had a great, progressive platform that included healthcare, taxing the rich, environment, etc. He came in last 😭 So Democrats chose the status quo, and their candidate struggled to get people excited to vote FOR him rather than AGAINST Boebert.
  I think this is a problem that plagues the Democrats on a national level and isn't a direct reflection of "stupid" rural voters.
- Money
- My theory is that the internet makes people dumber.

Wait until the GOP says children need to watch heterosexual cis porn at kindergarten to « un-groom » them from wokeness.
Those bastards have no sense of shame
- You joke, but the gay/trans conversion "therapy" industry, which people like these no doubt support, is rife with cases of sexual abuse against children and teens. The stories from victims are honestly nauseating.
- At this point I wouldn't be too suprised if they started doing this.
- Troll-B-Gon™
- What does Her Royal Majesty Cardi B have to do with Republicans being weird as fuck about kids?

Party of family values yall

No drag queens, just a pathetic ~~drama queen~~ attention whore.
- The groper dude owns a bar that puts on drag shows. Also, he's apparently a ^Democrat
  
  This redefines "reaching across the aisle" :)
  
  Yeah, I guess they both swiped right just looking at the pix without reading the profile.
  
  Source?

I saw this show on Broadway and would not classify it as family friendly or aimed at kids. 90s cartoons were more subtle in their cussing and sexual comments. Fantastic show I would recommend again and again.
That does not justify what they did though. She may rock the dress, but take your horny selves home. Classic GOP hypocrisy.
- Ok, teens then? It’s Beetlejuice, not Chip ‘n’ Dales.
  
  Chip 'n' Dale are a pair of animated chipmunk rescue rangers that are absolutely for kids.
  Chippendales are exotic male dancers that are not.

Look at that smirk. Goddam sociopath. Public servant, folks!
- Even in that one pixel pic of just blurry faces, you can exactly recognize the kind of smirk she's wearing on her shameless face.
- She is absolutely a sociopath. All Republicans are. You have to not have a conscience to think that way.

ootl
- Boebert got kicked out of Beetlejuice because she and her date were ~~feeling up~~ groping each other.
  
  More info: https://www.businessinsider.com/lauren-boebert-video-date-during-beetlejuice-2023-9
  
  The weirdest thing was he was groping her like a man out of prison or an incel that’s finally got to touch a boob. What nasty nasty people.
  
  Also vaping while sitting inside in front of a pregnant woman. Also taking flash photo selfies during the show.
  
  And that pregnant woman seemed so done with life, my condolences to her.

This incident caused a sarcastic struggle session on over the pants rubbing and wether that is still a hand job.

I don't know, there's a lot of drag happening in that picture. Breasts don't just lift themselves like that, and those heels look painful to walk in.
No royalty, just drag.
- We're all born naked. The rest is drag.

s😳xual
- Soxual

Drag of the vape queen amirite?!
- Vape drag queen*

It never was a drag queen

Drag always reminds me of Ru Paul on Jimmy Fallon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eGRYr0_wBg
- lol I love that clip! I can feel his anxiety through the screen

Lauren B( . Y . )bert

Every accusation is an admission.

The shitty thing is, she's still smokin hot.
- If you go by the crazy/hot matrix you should not stick your dick in that one.
- But she really isn't. There is nothing special about her in a world where you see 30 of her simply going out for groceries.
  
  Not that special at all, agreed. But in the USA , I'd generally expect to see many more chronically obese people also in their 30s at the same grocery store.
- Shame about that personality tho at least.

In this case I'm honestly not 100% sure that they didn't catch a drag queen t

What? The theater was not filled with kids. There were adults sitting around Lauren, not just kids only. Can you imagine how weird that would be if Lauren and her boytoy were the only adults in that theater. I am not saying there were no kids when it happened, but it definitely was not filled with kids. That is stupid

Wasn't the trouble some people had with the drag queen shows the dances? I don't know the situation in the US(?), but that's what some people disliked about some of the shows in Germany.
Here is a video of one of these shows that was a program for kindergarden kids: https://youtu.be/p2zsZHb_Y7E?feature=shared
It's dishonest to leave it out of the discussion when people didn't have a problem with the clothing in the first place.
I am no pro in pedagogy or whatever. Not sure if that's super harmful or whatever tale the alt right tried to spin. But it's definitely not just some people with a cleavage or other types of sexy clothes.
- Slow down there, you'll get a speeding ticket moving the goal post that fast.
  
  What do you mean? Sorry, I don't understand how I am moving the goalpost.

Is she pregnant? She has a weird pooch

Well any minute now Libs will care about hypocrisy.
- IDK chief this sounds like whataboutism to me

Wouldn't this fit better in political memes?
- Is Lemmy really that big that it honestly matters?
  I also think you might be confused about what instance you're on.
  
  Keeping things in their respective communities does help people filter what they want to see.
  I, for one, like to see "haha that's funny" posts more than "oh look the bad guys are bad" posts, which is why I peruse this community and not political memes.
  I'm not trying to minimod and create rules that don't exist in the community, though. I'm just expressing my opinion. You don't have to listen.
  Also, what does this have to do with instance? Nothing's stopping you from posting on another instance's community, right? Federation is nice like that. Or did you mean that lemmy.ml is a political instance? If so, I didn't know that.
- I'm going to start blocking you little babies complaining about stuff being political. Good lord you people need to grow up.

- Just like how every homophobic person is gay?

In front of an audience of kids? Nobody knew until footage was combed through. Ironically, the news of this is the only reason anybody knows about it at all. Nobody in person saw a thing. Not exactly the same thing as sex in front of an audience of children.
- Nobody gets asked to leave a theatre unless people complain. She was bothering people so they had the theatre remove her and her date.
  
  People were complaining about her for other things. Nobody said anything about anything sexual, because nobody saw anything. Only the surveillance camera.
- No one saw the women blowing big vape clouds while giving a over the pants rub & tug while getting felt up? R
  
  That's a loaded question. Nobody saw anything sexual. Only the surveillance camera. And now the people who watched the footage.
- Can you give sources for that?
