Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is accusing President Donald Trump of blocking a non-controversial water project affecting her district after the lawmaker challenged Trump to force the release of the Epstein files in November.

“… Trump decided to veto … a bipartisan bill that passed both the House and Senate unanimously. Why? Because nothing says ‘America First’ like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado, many of whom enthusiastically voted for him in all three elections,” Boebert said, according to Colorado news reporter Kyle Clark. “… I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retaliation for calling out corruption and demanding accountability. Americans deserve leadership that puts people over politics.”

“I thought the [Trump] campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape,” Boebert added.

More specifically, Trump vetoed a bill to fund a pipeline project to bring clean drinking water to communities on the Eastern Plains between Colorado’s Pueblo and Lamar cities, according to 9 News. The president’s veto of the “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) Act,” which passed unanimously in the House and Senate, is Trump’s first veto of his second term.

1. You not sub for your Daddy?

Naughty shouldn't expect nice.

4. That's not the message I get from the article,

the message is that Krasnov doesn't give a shit about unwashed Magats, he will fuck them over to punish one person who represents them.

That's the message.

Thank you Lauren Boebert for doing the right thing once in your life.

I believe that Boebert has learned the story of the leopard, maybe some of her constituents will also learn the story,

It is going to take unwashed Magats to join us to throw out the billionaires who are looting our treasury.

[wolfie001]

11. Leopards eating her face was the first thought when reading this OP's title

tRUMP is pure sh7t.

[PatSeg]

19. Yes, she did the right thing

I don't like her and I don't particularly trust her, but when someone does the right thing, I will give them credit.

It is funny that two of the most outrageous members of congress, Boebert and Greene, are the ones who have stood up to Trump, when so many more moderate representatives are still reluctant to do the right thing. It's not that hard guys - like with a temperamental toddler, just say "no".

[Volaris]

23. The other, equally plausible reason is that its Colorado,

and they won't release Tina Peters so fuck them, and his rotted brain has probably already forgotten the other thing.

Either way yeah good job, Donnie...keep fucking over your own voters, it won't change the fact that EPSTIEN EPSTIEN EPSTIEN

[tanyev]

2. That's what he does, Lauren.

Oh, and the Trump campaign was NEVER about lowering costs and cutting red tape.

[mdbl]

10. Also, let her know that water is wet.

And she might not know the sun rises in the east.

[hadEnuf]

3. Sorry Bimbo,

looks like your usefulness to Trump has run out. Go join your pal Marge.

[gab13by13]

5. We make as big mistake bashing MTG and Boebert,

it's exactly what Krasnov wants everyone to do.

[marble falls]

8. MTG hasn't changer her politics an iota, only her opinion of TACO. Boebert is just MTG Jr with less money. A lot less.

[gab13by13]

13. Krasnov would disagree with your opinion.

4 House Magats have stood up to Krasnov and here we are bashing them, Krasnov must be smiling.

We will never win back our country if we don't get a significant number of unwashed Magats to join us.

[marble falls]

15. TACO is a goof ball, he doesn't even know what he thinks. We don't need MAGAs, we need everybody else to show up.

... MAGAs are true believers, they can only be reduced down so far. I'd settle for them to being discouraged from voting.

[uncle ray]

17. "we'll never win without the group i call by a slur."

[Bengus81]

29. Think MTG will suddenly want to work with Dems in the coming years

when she runs for Governor or Senator? Get real...........

[wolfie001]

12. These 2 have done 99.5% anti-Democratic Party initiatives since both clowns entered Congress

The real culprits are the stupid as f6ck voters that installed them.

[flashman13]

26. Agreed - The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Hey gab13, we seem to be on the same page as usual.

[marble falls]

6. I heard they made up, he took her to see a musical at the Kennedy Center, a revival of Urinetown.

[FakeNoose]

7. The REAL retaliation happens during primary season

Chump believes he still has the cojones to primary those Repukes who oppose him.
Does he? We'll find out in a few months.

[marble falls]

9. I hope he does. Smart money says a Democrat has a better than even chance to take those seats, anyway.

[femmedem]

14. If Congress overrides the veto, this could be a good thing.

A bipartisan stand against punishing districts for their representatives' votes would be a powerful step in favor of checks and balances.

[Blumancru]

16. I believe Trump hates MAGAts only slightly less than Democrats.

In his view, there are two kinds of people. Those to be exploited (suckers), and him. He will not be running again, due to term limits or death, so he has no further use for them. Birdbrain and her constituents will be discarded as he would a lawyer, ex wife, a fisherman on a boat in the Caribbean, or teenager he has had his way with. He uses people until they are all used up. His contempt for others is palpable.
Birdbrain is using him too. Sensing that he is now a political liability, she is turning on him, just enough to try to keep her seat in congress.

[FakeNoose]

21. Boebert can go back to being bar waitress, for all I care

Chump on the other hand, is seriously damaging our country and he's fully in cahoots with some really evil people. If the 2026 elections don't put an end to his over-reach there's not much hope for us.

[Hey Joe]

25. Trump may believe he doesn't need his MAGA

base so much now that he has his Pootie poot and tech bro billionaires.
He never really held anything but disdain for these poor unwashed nitwits anyway. They have served their purpose for him now.
His family is rolling in the dough and they have no fucks left to give them.

[uncle ray]

18. Tina Peters would say it has nothing to do with Epstein.

[intheflow]

20. It's probably less about Bobert than it is about Tina Peters.

Trump wants to punish Colorado for not releasing a convicted criminal at his behest.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

22. Did you really expect anything less Ms. Boebert?

You saw what Trumpedo does to those that crosses him, so why are you so surprised?

[pandr32]

24. He wants to keep Republicans in line.

By acting this way he is demonstrating his ill-grabbed power to every single one of them.

[JoseBalow]

27. It's all fun and games until he shits all over YOU

Right, Bobo?
