Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

As more and more details are being revealed about Rep. Lauren Boebert's wild night out in Denver last weekend — having been kicked out of "Beetlejuice" the musical for vaping and just generally being a public nuisance with her male companion — a full picture is coming together of what the other theater patrons around her that night had to endure.

Newly released footage of the night in question appears to show Boebert's exposed breasts being fondled by her date for an extended period of time while she, in turn, dawdles around in his lap with her hand. As many have pointed out on social media, having seen this footage, children were seated all around the couple that night, within viewing range of what they were up to.

"Laurent Boebert was jerking her date off in public while he gropes her in a theater where children were present and yet she continues to attack LGBTQ people as 'threats to children,'" writes journalist and clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo on X, sharing the footage of Boebert in the act.

What is this country coming to when you can't even go to a production of "Beetlejuice" and jerk your date off a bit while you get your hooters groped? Everyday our traditional American values of vaping indoors and being loud and unpleasant to those around us are being stripped away by cultural Marxists and the nanny state. How are our children going to meet their future husbands as minors at bowling alleys, when said husbands can't even publicly expose their genitalia without fear of the woke mob?

America isn't even half of what it used to be anymore! It's barely even Amer! That isn't even enough to guess the full word without the i, and soon enough we'll lose the r, and then none of us will ever get our tits wrenched in public again!

This is all Consitutionally protected behavior.

The 1st Amendment riight of Freedom to Press the Button om the vape.

The 2nd amendment right to bare titties and arms.

The 4th amendment right gauranteeing freedom to sieze the cock.

And thos people that reported the vape should be arrested if they said "Fire" in a theater when mentioning the smoke.

Oh suuuure, when Pee-Wee Herman did it, it was a misdemeanor, but I guess we have higher standards for our kid's show hosts than our members of Congress!

Except he was doing it at a porn theatre while not sitting near anyone rather than in the middle of a full regular theatre with people including children all around them.

He did nothing wrong and lost ~20 years of his career, whereas Boebert will probably GAIN from this if anything..

What even the fuck is this timeline?

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago

The reality is whenever this stuff happened before social media it was brushed under the rug thanks to complicit media 'aw geeze, our guy got arrested beating another hooker, he still supports tax cuts for the rich, right? Print that story we made up about their guy instead...'

I'm old enough to remember this sort of thing having a deleterious effect on the career of Paul Reubens.

[–] Muddbiker@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are leaving out the part where he was in an adult (porn) theater. A little different. Guy went from being the darling of every parent and the media to ostracized and no career for decades. It was rather unjust.

Yup. His career was fucked for less than this.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Basically for doing what a porn theater is FOR. #PeeWeeDidNothingWrong

Well he already did that..

Remaining in the designated area is not freedom

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

It is when not doing so would be oppressive towards everyone else.

For someone who is worried about the sanctity of marriage when gay people wanna do it, she sure is publicly stepping out on her husband before their divorce is finalized.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 1 year ago

She would never contradict her positions on important stuffs! /s

To hell with this lady. (I deliberately modified "fuck this lady," because I don't want her to have any opportunity to enjoy anything.) Piece of shit.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

It's a good thing she isn't gay! Otherwise fondling someone's genitals in public around kids would have been a bad thing instead of a good thing.
