Wed Mar 8, 2023, 06:50 PM

to a group of young men, all of which were over 18 but one who was 16 which she was unaware of, would you think she needed to go to jail and do probation for it?

Even if so, would you still be making fun of her, inferring she's recalcitrant pervert, after never apparently done it again in the 18 years she's been married to her HS sweetheart, a US Congressmen, whom she's had 4 children with?

Just curious

Do you routinely defend Lauren Boebert and her perverted husband?

But, the answer is damned right I would if, as in the case of Lauren Boebert, this person continued to push her hypocrisy and bogus accusations of pedophilia and inappropriate behavior towards others--including implying all DEMS are child abusers, all LGBTQ are lying in wait to abuse other's children, and generally lying 24/7/365 about damned everything. Given that is the case, I have no issues with saying you are GD right I would.

Not to mention you don't know that her husband has not continued similar behavior. Ask their neighbors. Yes, really. They have repeatedly had to call police on their gun-toting kids threatening their own--as their father yells drunken taunts-- and yet, local Rifle area police do nothing.

Do you continue to denigrate his wife for flashing her cooch once (for all you know) in public? Insist forever she's a pervert for having done so 17 years ago, while wasted?

I'm thinking no matter how much you hate the Congressman ... you wouldn't do that if the sexes were reversed.

Like I said ... philosophical question.

to hurt others--accusing them of what they themselves or guilty of doing, you are damned right. And the two of them are in sync. So, your example assumes similarly.

And then it should be done.

People throwing it in your face forever ... sucks.

Even if I despise the person's politics. And believe me I DO in this case. Or at least his wife's and as you say, presumably his too.

I've looked at the details of the case actually apparently some young women were in a booth talking about their tattoos, he blunders by drunk, overhears them, says 'I've got a tat on my dick!'. Logically they were probably like 'whatever' or 'bullshit' dude', and like a drunk idiot he thinks 'I'll show them!'.

One of the young women's deposition said he unzipped, reached into pants, and palmed the head so it was not visible, pulled it sideways and showed the side where the tat was. He didn't totally whip it out. He made no sexual gestures, it was a public place the women weren't unsafe, etc.

The judge gave him ONE day (beyond the 3 days in the drunk tank afterwards) and 2 years probation for lewd public exposure, and it's not like he was the scion of wealthy family, he was a regular dude. Obviously this was considered a very minor incident, not some kind of sex attack.

I think calling the man a pervert and pedophile and sex offender and all the stuff people do here and elsewhere is over the top.

Esp. considering that afterwards, dude marries HS sweetheart, stays with her 17 years so far, they open a restaurant together (obviously I hate the theme of the restaurant), and he supports her becoming a congresswoman. And he's never been arrested for anything like that again, or we'd know.

I just look at the totality and the way this is constantly brought up and think ... WTF does a guy have to do ... can he EVER be forgiven, and have people stop making fun of him and calling him names ... even for something THIS friggin minor, done drunk at 23 yo?

I can't really think of some act that could remotely be categorized as a 'sex crime' ... that is MORE mild than what this dude did. It does not even appear to have been sexual at all. Just the side of a penis of a drunk dude showing off his tat.

I just think it's overly vindictive honestly, even though I hate his wife's politics, and probably would hate his ... I feel like ... let's call them out for THAT.

MHO.

Thu Mar 9, 2023, 06:55 AM

offenses in the most hypocritical way possible to hurt others. In your example I guess you imagine the "little wife" as the innocent, powerless, homebody who just happens to be married to a politician husband, never becomes involved in politics, is never interviewed nor seeks public attention to push the most horrific RW politics side by side with "hubby" to hurt, nay DESTROY others. That is scarcely a reality anywhere today, but especially in the RW and as I already laid out, is not the case in your hypothetical that I am responding to. The reverse of the Boeberts is just that--an a'hole male politico who stands toe to toe with an activist hypocritical and hate-filled monster wife--both raising monster children with AR-15s in their Christmas cards and allowing them to push the most offensive political views dressed as "religious" on their neighbors and everyone else. Taking no responsibility for their own actions, but rather using them against others And when the wife in your example has the nerve to accuse everyone on the Democratic side of the aisle of being pedophiles or trying to sexualize children or convert them to transexuals or expose them to harmful images, texts, or books in school, then yes--her past SHOULD come back to bite her.

There is nothing inherently wrong with a wife making her husband a sandwich, if that is the wife's choice. I make my wife food all the time and she makes me food all the time too. Because we want to, not because of any assigned gender roles.

That Boebert would try (and fail...badly) to mock women on International Women's Day is just a sign of how pathetic she is.

Wed Mar 8, 2023, 04:52 PM

who was anti-ERA, anti-feminism and used to say this just to own the libs:

.... Schlafly also characterized her political work as a "hobby" that was only undertaken with her husband's permission. At many events, her opening words were, "I want to thank my husband Fred for letting me come here," something she said in part because "it irritates the women's libbers more than anything."


see, Phyllis was owning the libs way back before it was cool.

People make sandwiches for their spouses all the time. If she WAS making a sandwich for him, in spite of him not being in town, that could be an problem. Not that this brain-dead tool doesn't already have a zillion other problems. Like being so fucking stupid that she doesn't understand what a patsy she is.

You are a disgrace to the memory of all the women who came before & fought for your right to sit where you are today. You have an opportunity to make a future better for women and girls but instead choose to ensure the shame your granddtrs will feel when your name is spoken.


Another:

IDK where your husband is, but by court order, it's at least 1,000 feet from schools.

Why can her husband not make himself a sandwich? Does he make her a sandwich when she wants one?
