Lauren Boebert's Reason For Running For Congress Is Raising Eyebrows

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Lauren Boebert Believes God Is Using Her To Convert Unbelievers

Like her fellow Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (who was famously banned from Twitter over her controversial views), Rep. Lauren Boebert is an unapologetic "Christian nationalist" who believes America should be guided by a specific set of religious beliefs. At one event, Boebert came right out and said, "I'm tired of this separation of church and state junk that's not in the Constitution" (via The Washington Post).

Boebert has been appearing frequently at conservative conventions this year to gain traction in her second run for office. At one such event, Boebert announced that she had been called to run for office by a higher power. In a clip tweeted here, she boasted of having won her first primary against all odds. "God told me it would be a sign and a wonder to the unbeliever" to defeat a five-term incumbent, Boebert said — suggesting that her unlikely win might turn non-Christians to her religion.

Twitter wasn't convinced. Among the many comments on the clip was this one from a former Republican: "It backfired with me. Boebert's 'Christianity' has made me renounce any religious affiliation." Another commenter said, "Well, God told me he's never had any conversations with her and that she made this all up." A third lamented: "God, Family, and Country. Years ago these were all things to be admired and loved. Now they come with a label: Warning. This is a GOP tell."

As I've said before, who would Jesus flash his junk at?

[dalton99a]

1. Jesus Says Vote for the Bimbo

(Erin McIntyre/ Ouray County Plaindealer)

[hermetic]

13. Well, those 4

don't look too convinced.

[Ligyron]

24. They're only there for the free coffee and donuts.

[allegorical oracle]

53. Funny. One's asleep, the woman looks bored, and two are in a defensive posture. nt

[Stuart G]

2. K and R. Thanks for posting.

[Botany]

3. Oh come to Jesus.

[underpants]

5. 😆

[mahina]

7. She thought that picture made her look good.

[Xipe Totec]

21. I feel I need penicillin just looking at her. nt

[WestMichRad]

51. This!!!

A long hot shower with disinfectant, at the very least!

[Emile]

52. Bwhaha +1

[Higherarky]

11. She is lame.

[SergeStorms]

15. And Jesus said unto me....

"Goest thou and have a large, gaudy tramp stamp applied to thine nether regions". 🙄

[Mblaze]

20. She has a Trump stamp in there somewhere

[SergeStorms]

39. I wont tell you where that one is...

but it looks and smells like Willie Nelson.

[Cronezilla]

16. How come...

...I am not at all surprised by the "Tramp Stamp"?

[Polybius]

33. A huge amount of women aged 35-50 have them

I personally know dozens. The lower back tattoo was massively popular in the early 2000's.

[COL Mustard]

29. Is that really her????

Damn.

[Botany]

40. I don't know .... just internet rumor for now and she has denighed it too

But all she needs to do is let people see her lower back. Rumor is that she hooked up w/
Ted Cruz as a working girl.

[Polybius]

32. Her only plus is that she's kinda hot

[COL Mustard]

35. Just don't wave your...

Dick in her general direction. She seems to marry guys who do that.

[3Hotdogs]

42. I'd do 'er. Funny thing, Colonel. You and I seem to have different tastes in women.

I'm tuned into Pink Floyd's. "Dirty woman."

Now as I said, with M.T.G., it's be 1:45 a.m. before the bar closes and she's the last one in the bar and the "Little Soldier" is getting nervous with nothin' to do.

But even I have standards --- Gin-gin Thomas? No way. Imagine poor Clarance waking up, turning over and finding that hot mess looking at ya

[COL Mustard]

54. I've been drunk enough, and I've gnawed my arm off the next morning

Funny, it always grew back. But now...nope. But I won't judge what you do at 2:30 on a Sunday morning!

[uponit7771]

38. I can't get past the stupid

[GoCubsGo]

4. Bobo the Opportunist is at it again.

Funny how she just now found Jeezus--only after the Christofascists on the Supreme Court started flaunting their power. I guess she no longer feels the need to engage in the gun-humping that got her elected the first time?

[magicarpet]

6. Yes,... Jeebuzz waved his dick in the direction of the US Capitol.

That was her signal to run for congress.

Jeebuzz's prick is the false idol that Boebert worships & prays to. Boebert thinks Christian biblical law should be the law of the land here in the USA.

Boebert's husband waved his dick around in public in full agreement of what she said.

Next week there will be a Jeebuzz pissing contest at the rodeo. Be sure to visit the Boebert Pork Sandwich food poisoning booth. That is how she raises funding for her re-election campaign to return to the US Congress.

[Traildogbob]

10. Why there is not much talk about

Jeebus and his teenage early adult years. He tattooed God on his penis and would show it to underage girls to build his flock, and that time period was bad for his political future. And didn't the book talk about stoning to death adulterers like her BFF MTG?

[FakeNoose]

8. It's hard to believe that Coloradans fall for this schtick

If Boebert is really as religious as she says she is, why doesn't she become a minister?

She obviously knows fuck-all about being a Representative.

[colorado_ufo]

14. Please understand that Colorado is not politically

homogenized. She would never have been elected in many districts. She is a huge embarrassment to many in her own district.

[Elessar Zappa]

23. Isn't her district actually a swing district?

Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

[Ligyron]

25. I think her husband swings something.

[Elessar Zappa]

26. Lol!

[33taw]

30. No, she is in a red district.

[colorado_ufo]

31. Painfully true.

[geardaddy]

49. Seems hers is more of a red light district

[Midnight Writer]

9. It was a wonder to this unbeliever that she got elected, to anything.

[Warpy]

12. Sometimes I long for the bad old days

when talking to god was a sign of deep commitment to one's faith.

When god talked back, you got admitted to a state loony bin.

Now there are no more state loony bin and the loonies get put into office by Republicans.

[speak easy]

17. W heard god saying 'invade Iraq'

(not a joke)

[czarjak]

18. Blasphemer say huh?

[liberalla]

19. Yo Mama!

Who would jesus flash his junk at? !!!

You made me howl!

You you say you've said it before but this is the first I've seen it!
Wow! That is a hoot! Thank you!




* ( and yes I do get the reference to her hubby flashing the young girls...)

[frogmarch]

22. JFC

[Cracklin Charlie]

27. Last refuge of a scoundrel.

I thought she ran on the “Blam, Blam” platform?

There must be old video of her “running for office because God told her to”.

[Turbineguy]

28. Blasphemy

[TigressDem]

34. WELL it IS the FIRST Amendment to the Constitution.. so if you LOVE the 2nd, the FIRST is VALID

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state_in_the_United_States

Jefferson wrote,

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

[Liberal In Texas]

36. Randi Rhodes thinks when she is tired of the cong. gig she's going into the religion biz.

Sort of like Aimee Semple McPherson. Lots of rubes to be fleeced with the god racket.

[IbogaProject]

43. I know one of Ms McP's relatives

And they clearly pronounce their name differently than she did to differentiate themselves.

[alfredo]

48. She died of a drug overdose

[AverageOldGuy]

37. Why do . . .

. . . complete heathens like Boebert and MTG rush to profess their deep and abiding Christianity?

Because they know the "christian" goobers will believe them.

I'm an old guy born and reared in rural Mississippi, educated in the Southern Baptist theology and white supremacy. I know it's very difficult for folks with a bit of education and exposure to the world outside your own little circle to believe this, but, this country is filled with "christian" goobers who are high school grads, maybe community college, maybe a year or so of college, never traveled more than a few hundred miles away from home, surrounded by people just like them, suspicious of "outsiders (someone from the next county over), life revolves around Baptist church, believe Democrats are socialists/communist/child molesters (although they cannot define socialist, or communist, or child molester). They are EVERYWHERE and the hell of it is, especially in rural areas, they are the school board, the county board of supervisors, and the big majority of the voters.

[malthaussen]

41. What if people running for office couldn't mention religion?

Yeah, idealistic pipe-dream, but consider how inappropriate and irrelevant this really is to holding office in a secular republic. There is no point in speaking of it unless it is a signal that one intends to impose their religious beliefs through the exercise of their office, which should be immediately disqualifying.

45. If it's not inappropriate, Boebert isn't going to do it.

Waste of time.

[jmowreader]

44. The jokes here are funny...

…but people who “found the Lord” after getting in trouble are dangerous. Examine Lauren’s background: teen pregnancy, dropped out of school, several run-ins with the law…and then she found Jesus. Now we’re all in trouble.

What’s interesting is that while Boebert is going full Jesus in an attempt to win the election, she refuses to do things like constituent service and writing bills that might become law that probably would help her win the election. Apparently being a high school Mean Girl is more fun.

[dchill]

46. "...being a high school Mean Girl" exhausts her capabilities.

[lambchopp59]

50. Midwestern rural regions

Can produce animals that resemble human beings but that semblance ends sharply once they open their yaps. Having looked up the area of Colorado on electoral maps I refugee'd away from at 16, not surprising its dark red.
One long-time coal-minin' fambilly I knew of, I always kept a relatively safe distance from were some of the ring-leaders of anti-education stance. Truly they revered incredulous ignorance my more urban sensibility couldn't grasp. Middle school drop outs all, functionally illiterate, bad hygiene, missing teeth and insanely religulous.
One of them should have been a retroactive Darwin Awards recipient. Taking the impression from the Dukes of Hazzard television program, had worked up a muscle car Dodge, and attempted to jump a canyon with it. Failure not only from the impossible physics of the idea, but the jump-ramp they'd constructed to do this stupid stunt completely collapsed when the car hit it. Took out two of them in a crushed mass of metal.
There were far more highly emotionally unstable, violent and impossibly stupid vigilante sorts in that region than there were reasonably average intelligence and demeanor sort. The ilk that would shout and cheer the likes of Boebert, have the obligatory sexist commentary in public, and likely have to recruit some more literate person to help them mark their ballot.
There were so many unbelievably stupid events from a few years of my life attempting to study in school among an overwhelming, always disruptive, violent sort I still have PTSD nightmares from it.
If it were up to Boebert and ilk, we'd all be few survivors in a post apocalyptic landscape.
