She claimed that she was shadowbanned for a "joke" about Hillary Clinton being angry that she couldn't rig her election."Did either of you approve the shadowbanning of my account, @ LaurenBoebert?"
— Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) uses her time at today's House Oversight Committee hearing to talk about her personal Twitter metrics
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) accuses former Twitter executives of greater election interference than the Russian government:
"I bet that Putin is sitting in the Kremlin wishing he had as much election intervention — interference — as you four here today."
LB herself?In her relatively short time in Washington, she has built a national profile with a combative style embracing everything from gun ownership to apocalyptic religious rhetoric. Constituents such as Hartman in the Republican-leaning 3rd Congressional District laud Boebert for defending their rights, but cringe at her provocations, contributing to an unexpectedly tight race last year that she won by just 546 votes out of more than 300,000 cast.
“She tapped into what Trump was doing, and she maybe took it too far in some instances,” said Alex Mason, 27, adding that Boebert, whom he supports, is still more tactful than former President Donald Trump.
But she has not quite done that -- she was one of those who refused to vote for Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker. In the final vote, she voted "Present" rather than voting for him, letting him win.In an interview, Boebert said “this slim victory, it opened my eyes to another chance to do everything that I’ve been promising to do.”
To the congresswoman, that means being “more focused on delivering the policies I ran on than owning the left,” adding she hoped “to bring the temperature down, to bring unity.”
Her opponent Adam Frisch said that she did “angertainment.” Her response:“I have been asked to explain MTG’s beliefs on Jewish space lasers, on why she showed up to a white supremacist conference. ... I’m just not going to go there,” Boebert said over the phone as she rode in a car winding through the high canyons near her hometown of Silt before the speakership vote. “She wants to say all these things and seem unhinged on Twitter, so be it.”
“A lot of those on the left have said: ‘Look at your election, are you going to tone it down, little girl?’” she said. “I’m still going to be me.”
from“God said that he was the provider. I know that Jesus said that he, that we would be blessed. But I just don’t know about this month,” Boebert said while addressing a conference at the Storehouse Dallas Church over the weekend, adding:
And Jesus is right there at the table with you. Saying, what kind of conversation is this? Why are you talking like this? And why are you sad? Jesus, don’t you know we’re out of money? Covid’s hit. They shut everything down. Joe Biden’s president.
“We don’t know what to do, Lord. That’s all right,” Boebert continued, “We pray for our presidents.”
“You know, it says, ‘Let his days be few and another take his office.’ That’s why I filed the articles of impeachment for Joe Biden. Unfortunately, he does have a really great insurance policy named Kamala Harris,” Boebert concluded.
The context of that verse is much like that verse itself.1 O God whom I praise, do not ignore me.
2 For they say cruel and deceptive things to me; they lie to me.
3 They surround me and say hateful things; they attack me for no reason.
4 They repay my love with accusations, but I continue to pray.
5 They repay me evil for good, and hate for love.
6 May an accuser stand at his right side.
7 When he is judged, he will be found Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.
8 May his days be few. May another take his job.
9 May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 May his children roam around begging, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home.
11 May the creditor seize all he owns. May strangers loot his property.
12 May no one show him kindness. May no one have compassion on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants May the memory of them be wiped out by the time the next generation arrives.
14 May his ancestors’ sins be remembered by the Lord. May his mother’s sin not be forgotten.
15 May the Lord be constantly aware of them, and cut off the memory of his children from the earth.
16 For he never bothered to show kindness; he harassed the oppressed and needy, and killed the disheartened.
17 He loved to curse He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.
18 He made cursing a way of life, so curses poured into his stomach like water and seeped into his bones like oil.
19 May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually.
20 May the Lord repay my accusers in this way, those who say evil things about
21 O Sovereign Lord, intervene on my behalf for the sake of your reputation. Because your loyal love is good, deliver me.
22 For I am oppressed and needy, and my heart beats violently within me.
23 I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day; I am shaken off like a locust.
24 I am so starved my knees shake; I have turned into skin and bones.
25 I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God. Because you are faithful to me, deliver me.
27 Then they will realize and that you, Lord, have accomplished it.
28 They curse, but you will bless. When they attack, they will be humiliated, but your servant will rejoice.
29 My accusers will be covered with shame, and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe.
30 I will thank the Lord profusely. In the middle of a crowd I will praise him,
31 because he stands at the right hand of the needy, to deliver him from those who threaten his life.
She quickly drew criticism for it taking her multiple attempts to pass her GED when Maddow got her bachelors from Stanford and doctorate from Oxford. It was Boebert's clumsy way of harkening back to an age-old argument by Republicans that Democrats are elitists because they support and promote education.
“After people are corrected several times and they continue to say it, it seems like it’s an act of incivility,” Raskin said, specifically referencing Boebert, although his comments applied elsewhere. “As if every time we mentioned the other party, it just came out with a kind of political speech impediment. Like, oh, the Banana Republican Party, as if we were to say that every time we mentioned the Banana Republican member or the Banana Republican plan or the Banana Republican conference. But we wouldn’t do that. So, out of pure political courtesy, when it’s an adjective, refer to the ‘Democratic’ Congresswoman or the ‘Democratic’ member.”

Yikes.
Yikes! is right.Boebert said that when she approached her son and told him that he is making her a "36-year-old grandmother," he reminded her that she was a teen mother herself.
"He said, 'well didn't you make granny a 36-year-old granny,'" she said. "I said, 'yes I did.' He said, 'well then it's hereditary.'"
To be pedantic, the purpose of sex ed is to minimise unforseen consequences, not increase enjoyment.She must be a fast learner. She didn't need any comprehensive sex ed to teach her how to enjoy sex.
Is there any evidence she enjoys it?She must be a fast learner. She didn't need any comprehensive sex ed to teach her how to enjoy sex.

Not sure you can lose something you didn’t have in the first place.There is evidence she fucked her brains out.
They breed like tribbles!Yikes! is right.
