After a postponement, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) held a virtual town hall on Thursday night where she was asked about some of her controversial comments and was eventually asked which prison she would like to go to if she is tried and convicted of treason.

While many questions and comments were supportive, things got off to a relatively bad start with the first question from a woman identified as "Carrie."

"Thank you so much, I'm so excited to speak with you congresswoman," Carrie began. "Just a couple things, first: your incendiary tweets have not addressed the 53,000 cases of COVID in District 3, nor have they addressed the 900 deaths in our district -- it's disgraceful. You have also condoned [Rep.] Marjorie Taylor Greene's incendiary tweets that promoted anti-semitism and racist comments."

And she thinks that people are going to move on after what she did to help with the insurrection............

At the fifteen-minute mark, she was asked by a caller identifying herself as "Nicole" where she would like to be incarcerated after being tried for treason, which received a curt "Next question," from Boebert.



Thank you Nicole..................

2. Progressives are no longer sleeping on victories.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Good idea.

I think the QOP is going to be particularly cunning and vicious towards Dems now.
They are floundering and fracturing. Cannot win on their merits so will have to cheat and slander.

[calimary]

24. They better not. It's All-Hands-On-Deck from now on, with this particular threat.

They’re not gonna fade into the background anymore. So we can’t let up, either.

Mainly we’re gonna need to turn out the vote BIGTIME, EVERY time. It’s simple. It just so happens there are MORE Of US than there are of them. All we have to do is vote in droves, each time. The numbers are with US. And all we ever have to do is turn ‘em out when it’s time to vote.

[PatrickforO]

30. We absolutely have to grind on these people line by line by line.

Don't let anything get by without a (hopefully ugly and awkward) challenge. You bet.

[wnylib]

42. That works for presidential elections,

but not as well for House and Senate elections, where local regional attitudes are a part. We need to also discredit Republican candidates so much that people turn away from them and Republicans get too discouraged to vote for them. At the same time, we need to offer good alternative candidates to appeal to the people in local and state elections. Holding Congress is key to having the power to make changes.

[calimary]

45. Yes indeed!

We have to build in the House and Senate, too. To help Biden get more accomplished with less obstruction.

3. Gun-Toting Barfly.

That's what she is. The Proud Boys love her. She's "one of the boys," more or less. She likes to hang out with the 3% crowd. They're her customers and voters. I don't think she dates them, though. Seems a bit high-maintenance to me.

[turbinetree]

4. Exactly....................

[Hortensis]

5. High maintenance? Possibly a guy joke I don't get. VD comes to mind. :)

[dalton99a]

10. High maintenance AND high maintenance dose

[Tanuki]

11. When Harry Met Sally

[MineralMan]

12. No. Not a joke at all.

Just reality. We have many examples of her personality type from her public comments, etc. It has nothing to do with her being a woman. Anyone can be a high-maintenance person. It has to do with ego and interpersonal relationship skills. "Barfly," too, is not a sex-related term. There are barflies of both sexes.

[grantcart]

29. You can say that again

[MineralMan]

13. No. Not a joke at all.

28. You are in line at a grocery store

The customer in front of you wants items rung up in separate groups. The customer has a fistful of paper coupons. Dickers with the cashier over the price of items ("isn't that on sale?&quot . Can't figure out how to use their debit card and requires repeated assistance. Wants groceries re-bagged.

20 Minutes later, you get to check out.

that's high maintenance.

[MineralMan]

32. Exactly.

I would have moved already to a different line.

[Hortensis]

35. Okay. If I'd watched the clip, I'd probably have picked up on it.

As it is, calling Bobert that seems like a grave insult to normal high-maintenance women. I've decided to come back as one in my next life. MY turn.

[yardwork]

40. I call that "behind the customer from hell."

It's happened to me in customs in airports too.

[RVN VET71]

43. Well played!

[PatrickforO]

31. Nah, guys can be 'high maintenance' too.

To illustrate - my old director was a person (male) named J. Now J. was a really good director, and had a gift for bringing people together. But I was his economist, and on the team of people he would go to with any little thing. So, when he was in his office, you could count on at least one or two emails asking you to do new stuff every hour, but his expectation for the giant data project he had you working on did not change a bit, in spite of the constant pestering for other data on often unrelated things.

So, what the day would look like is...call up document and research resources. Get ready to begin the planned work. Get email from J. Drop planned work and address the email request. Finish that. Go back to planned work. Ten minutes later, get called into J's office to explain what you had sent him. Often this would lead to a new assignment, but remember he is still expecting the giant data project you have been assigned and you'd better not miss that deadline...

That is what high maintenance looks like in a work situation.

When we consider it in a romantic/relational aspect, the high maintenance partner is...well, high maintenance. S/he takes a whole bunch of time to explain things to, often takes things wrong, and you might have to walk on eggs to avoid saying something that will cause a big rigamarole.

[PunksMom]

23. No way is she

High maintenance. She’s a hussy that got lucky.

[orleans]

26. i saw a pic of her with her husband and five sons so

if she's still married she probably isn't dating them

also,
i've been referring to her as bang=bang barbie (which she probably views as a compliment).
but now, thanks to you, i will refer to her as BING-BANG BARFLY!

("bing" just happened as i was tying--a typo--but i like it so i'm keeping it. it has a nice ring)

[Ziggysmom]

37. I like the term "Ammosexual". 😷 It suits her and the other gun nuts.

[sir pball]

47. How about Bang-Bang Barfy?

I mean, the food poisoning outbreak she caused technically gave people bloody diarrhea, but "Bang-Bang OH GOD THERE'S BLOOD COMING OUT MY ASS" just doesn't have the same ring...

[niyad]

34. She is married to a sexual predator and has several children, presumably by Saudi predator.

[DeSmet]

38. If you peruse her rap sheet

she has severe problems with authority. Her objection to disarming in the Capital Building is another example.

[Dirty Socialist]

7. Why the fuck isn't she in JAIL???

She was in contact with the insurrectionists while they were in the Capitol building. That alone is aiding and abetting and she should be arrested IMMEDIATELY. Why hasn’t this been done yet???

[turbinetree]

9. Well when the impeachment thing gets done I think she will also be looking for some other

work........because she and others need to be stripped of their collective committee assignment, I feel they are a national security issue ...............

[SunSeeker]

14. Good question. A lot of us are asking that!

[turbinetree]

17. Got that side arm packing and that smile even tried to go into the house with a gun

just like my national security risk congressman Andy harris............

[ancianita]

18. Good news is, as long as we keep hearing her district constituents ask that, she just might get

voted out and/or indicted.

Maybe blue CO might try to run a Dem there, though that stretch of I-70 is pretty backward.

[LiberalLovinLug]

21. The cloak of office is very solid and thick it seems

Is this a lesser example of why Trump couldn't be indicted while in office?

Are there higher bars to reach for elected reps before they can be charged?

And why the fuck have we not heard yet that there are any videos of who exactly led the insurrectionists around on their reconnaissance mission?

[lpbk2713]

8. "Are you really as fucked up in the head as you appear?"

[Butterflylady]

15. I read that article and laughed like he**.

[IronLionZion]

16. Proud Girls

[magicarpet]

19. Toxic Femininity.... gun humping fascist....

[hatrack]

20. Now, now, be nice - she had to drive 27,000 miles to get there . . .

She's probably really tired.

[Takket]

39. thread winner! LOL

Duzy!

[PurgedVoter]

22. A few more questions!

How soon before you plan to run with the money?

Do you realize that you are now part of the government that you plan to drown in a bathtub?

After you pledged, "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God." Why didn't you turn yourself in as an enemy of the constitution?

[keithbvadu2]

25. Ar you smuggling guns into Congress to stage them in your office for Trump's terrorists' next riot?

[dflprincess]

27. Did anyone ask how she justifies

texting out Pelosi's position?

[calimary]

33. Be careful what you wish for/push for, QAnoners.

You’re very likely gonna have to answer for it.

Maybe they should be grateful they’ll all be long dead before historians have the last word. Sadly, that’s the real inheritance they’ll leave behind for surviving family members. Their grandchildren will feel the shame.

[gldstwmn]

36. Ugly from the inside out.

She needs to go.

[BobTheSubgenius]

41. Were I unfortunate enough to be Boebert, I wouldn't want to consider what venue might be housing me.

Nope, I'm with her, at least that tiny bit.

[RVN VET71]

44. A childhood friend of mine hat a pet cocker spaniel

Cute as a bug little beige colored dog. With an anger management problem. It attacked me one day. A cute little cocker spaniel.* And so is our Ms Boebert. She could be the adorable little lady next door about whom people would say “Can you imagine that cute little lady has 5 kids?!" -- but with a closet full of guns and a murderous heart intent on using them on people.

*The dog -- completely unprovoked -- snapped at me and frayed the cuff of my shirt but my friend was able to remove the animal from said cuff before it could work on my skin and bones. I think there’s a moral to that story that applies to our cute little Lauren.

[Marrah_Goodman]

46. Bwahahahahaha
