"SNIP........

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) suggested that God used her to stand up to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), whom she indirectly referred to as one of her “demons,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Boebert: “God is using you in mighty ways… Maybe he’ll have you ball up your fists and stand in front of some demons — maybe a speaker of the House?”

Going public with such sentiment is a red flag. She has internalized this.

I need remind nobody that, across history, many assassins have been motivated by similar delusions.

Your god certainly doesn’t remind me of Jesus.

Won't God ever tell someone to whip out their dick on the merry-go-round? Well, lot's a guys do whip out their dicks on the merry-go-round but usually it's their own idea."

she forgets she won her race by just a few hundred votes and it took days to make sure she won.

But no, she needs to act like she’s in a safe seat. Hopefully, soon, we will forget this dummy ever existed. You know, like her husband probably does.

Maybe God is fucking with Boebert and McCarthy because they both deserve it.

Or Boebert is just batshit crazy.

Occam's Razor favors the latter.

There is nothing about her that says she is a Christian. She’s more a discipline of satan.
