1. I wonder how the kid feels about that statement

[pstokely]

36. he probably thinks kids are cheaper than rubbers

cause mommy said so

[Lovie777]

2. The mental status of the GQPs are beyond ..............................

stupid.

[honest.abe]

3. WTF is she talking about???

Raising a child can be an emotionally rewarding experience. But it can also be very costly. Statistics from the Brookings Institution, an economic think tank, show that the average middle-income family with two children will spend $310,605 to raise a child born in 2015 up to age 17

4. 18 years per child AIN'T cheap, girl.

Apparently, Boobert FAILED bigly at math.

[meadowlander]

10. That's why she arms all hers with AR-15s

[keithbvadu2]

19. Where's daddy Boebert? Not allowed to own guns?

[marble falls]

5. Read headline to my ex-CIA, Eastern Star wife: "Really? What planet is that fucking idiot from." ...

... did I mention she sings in the church choir?

[roamer65]

6. Bobo being Bobo.

[leftieNanner]

7. Maybe the way you raised them.

But this certainly explains a lot.

[Aristus]

8. Well, I guess you can save on clothing costs with barrels, and rope-belts, and things.

Gruel at every meal.

Have the kids sleep on the floor.

Toys: whatever is loose and lying around in the garage.



Childhood in red-district America...

9. Nuryx Sells These Pills For $15 A Month

18 years, $4,800 adjusted upward for inflation over time.
Cost of gym shoes ages 6-16 $2,000. Just for shoes. No food, no clothes, no toys, no sports equipment or musical instruments, ......
Just shoes, over 10 years, not 18.
Easy to look up on the internet, so easily disproven nonsense by an empty headed drone.

11. Only in places where child labor starts at 2 weeks old.

[ecstatic]

12. that comment raises a lot of questions

Please elaborate bobo. Explain what you did or what you received that made it cheaper.

[Blue Owl]

13. Like about her mental condition

[marble falls]

14. What she meant to say is that it would be cheaper to dump her and elect a real Democratic Rep! ...

... And you know ... she is right about that.

[FakeNoose]

15. Impossible - she'll say anything for attention

[diane in sf]

16. I guess, if you throw them in the backyard and hope they'll civilise themselves.

[Takket]

17. this person literally gets to vote on government appropriation bills

think about how fucked up that is

[EYESORE 9001]

18. Here's your supper, baby

Mountain Dew and Ding Dongs.

[Wounded Bear]

20. Her position protects her from the pain that kind of stupidity can cause...

[Grins]

21. You mean...not for Jesus????

What an idiot.

[elleng]

22. Cheap bobert kids? No surprise.

[Caliman73]

23. She is an idiot, and we are likely giving her too much credit in discussing the issue.

To Boebert, it is likely a "throw away" line she thought was clever when it was coming out of her mouth. I don't think that she is actually intelligent enough to understand what she actually said or is implying by the statement.

She is either very stupid (I am sure of this), OR she was trying to make some kind of statement about the cost of medications, OR she was making some kind of stupid statement about being glad she actually didn't follow through with preventing a pregnancy.

The statement, as I said, is really stupid and may have been a statement meant to provoke a reaction or discussion, had it come out of the mouth of someone less stupid.

I doubt that if she were asked, that she could actually provide an answer that would even clarify the comment. She would most likely try to avoid situations where she was even asked about the comment, or would fall back on the standard, "attack the media for gotcha questions schtick that Conservative idiots hide behind these days."

Bottom line is that she is an idiot.

24. Birth contol should be free if the alternative is more Boberts.

[rurallib]

25. They don't become extreme right Republicans because they are Einsteins

Please show your work, Ms. Boebert.

[RockRaven]

26. This degree of innumeracy being widespread within the GQP is why they're fine w/ a debt default

[AltairIV]

27. This is what a future Florida education will get you.

Can she even spell Colorado or find it on a map?

[Renew Deal]

28. Boebert is proof that abortion should be safe and legal.

[Johonny]

29. She also says she wasn't having an affair

[GenThePerservering]

30. She just yaps to hear her teeth rattle

just tune out most of her whining.

[Generic Brad]

31. Her financial acumen is an amazing thing to behold

It seems like math skills were not emphasized in her GED education.

[mzmolly]

32. If she believes that nonsense, shouldn't she support universal health care?

[Raine]

33. RIDICULOUS! I got BC pills from Planned Parenthood

for a nominal fee (been awhile so I can't remember exactly what amount) but way cheaper then a kid. Boebert is delusional or is bringing her kids up with absolutely nothing like food, clothing, roof over their head, dentist etc etc.

[Maru Kitteh]

34. What I want to know is WHY DIDN'T HER MOTHER take birth control

Like, ALL the birth control.

That's the real problem.

[Initech]

35. Well there it is, the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard in my entire life!

[CTyankee]

37. WHUT?

Did anybody ask for this information?
