There are an estimated 12,000 ballots left to count as of late Thursday evening. Most of those ballots are from Arapahoe County. Only 85 percent of the county’s votes are reported. Arapahoe County supported Laubacher overwhelmingly (60.9 percent) to Boebert’s 35.8 percent.
According to NBC News, Boebert must win 61.4 percent of the remaining vote to overtake Laubacher.
Isn’t she the lady who got caught giving a handjob to a guy at a musical?
Edit: to add another layer to the onion, it was at a fucking Beetlejuice show at a public theatre 😭
Tbf, we’ve all given handies in the back of the theater.
I thought it was a bowling alley? Or different person? Or same person and different time?
I think her ex was the bowling alley creep, she was the Beetlejuice musical hand jobber.
Oh… Seems like she just didn’t get caught the first time now that I am refreshing my memory. So two times.
I think it was her hubby, ex hubby that had flashed young girls at the bowling alley. But I’m not an expert and I’m in Australia. Your politics has stained the whole world for the last ten years. I know Americans are sick of it all, the rest of the world is tired of it too. Great result recently though. Here’s hoping things will get a lot lot better.
Also her son’s a pedophile. He got arrested a couple of months ago for sexual exploitation of a child. And he was already about to be sentenced for child abuse when this came to light.
Nothing but winners coming out of the Boebert family…
If I were outside of the US, I would organize my neighbors and countrymen to demand that my local/national media cover enough of my national news and politics that any US news is relegated to the C-block (or on one of the jump pages if you’re still a newspaper reader). Each country must have enough important shit going on that American politicians getting handies in public are pretty low on the importance scale.
Given how much our policies fuck up the world economy and destabilize security, I understand our election results being below the fold or closing out the A-block.
You really need to just like, I dunno, Google this before opening your mouth.
Her husband exposed himself to teenagers at a bowling alley. She got caught giving that same guy a handjob during a performance of Beetlejuice.
The same one. Such a trashy bitch!
wish she would give one to me
I love this for her.
Whoever takes that seat after her better wipe it off first.
So long Boobert. See you in the footnotes.
Hold that position, that’ll be paying your sons legal bills from here on out.
Bye bye bobo
Man, I thought it said she lost her house. That’s fine too, ig.
She took three tries to pass the GED, that is the extent of her education.
I know she’s in a deep red district but I’m honestly surprised the Bimbort’s race is so close.
(I’ve been posting this a lot this week)
I wonder if I should contact my doctor.
It’s been over 48 hours by this point.
I’m driving nails into wood with this thing. I’m starting to get concerned
I think we all know her next career move.
Only fans?
Yep
Lol great thread everyone thanks
It’s a hate-wank.
Ok I’m not gonna sign up to OF for that but ngl I’d like to see some bootleg on redgif or something.
Erection Day
Hands free over here
So glad not to have this xtianist representing any part of Colorado:
The church is supposed to direct the government
Um, no. Fuck you. That’s not at all the way it’s supposed to work. These people have zero idea of what freedom even means.
Idiocy about “Fauci Ouchie”…ugh.
She’ll have lots of time to fondle men at children’s musical theatre now.
She’s going to “spend more time with her vape pen and the crotch of the man sitting next to her”.
Love the political defeat of this fascist.
Don’t love the rampant sexism and slut shaming in the comments here.
I don’t really think it’s slut shaming to make fun of the woman for jerking off some man in a theater with a bunch of people around. I don’t give a shit if you want to sleep around, and I also don’t give a shit if you want people to watch. That’s all fine. The people around need to consent though. It’s shaming her for being an asshole, which overlaps her sluttiness.
There were kids at that show, too. It was super fucked up. She should be registered as a sex offender, but alas… In America our justice system is corrupt.
Those comments are alright. The comments about looking forward to her setting up an OnlyFans are pretty bad.
100 percent. It’s false equivalency to compare the jokes and insults in this comment section to misogyny and ‘slut shaming’.
Not only that, but view her through the context of an entire family of sexual predators. Husband? Predator. Son? Predator? Her? Sexual activities in broad daylight in front of kids–shitty as hell.
We are making fun of horrible people for the horrible shit that they do, not their gender identity. I would categorize it the same as mocking Trump or Gatez for being predators.
Have you seen the comments with people wanting to do sex acts with her or calling her hot despite her being a sexual predator? Wouldnt happen if she was a man or a trans women, so obviously her gender identity plays a huge role here.
Cool. Talk to them. In the meantime I’m not going to hold back on mocking a real actual sexual predator for being a sexual predator.
Yeah keep that up while ignoring the fucked up comments. This will be so helpful in fostering a community where predatory sexual behaviour is treated seriously by everyone!
A bunch of kids. Not just people.
Also, she was vaping.
Sorry but you are minimizing the issue here. In addtion to jokes and outcalls regarding her sexual misconduct they are rating her apperance, make jokes about her starting an only fans (something only done when women leave a career), commenting how they would like to do x sex act with her etc. Like how are you calling out predatory behavious by sexualizing a predator?
And you here are somehow ignoring all that in your comment. Maybe you didnt read all the comments, but I think you should. And its not like those are downvoted at the bottom of the thread.
I definitely did not read all the comments. Yeah, some are really bad. I think a lot of the comments started fine, but yeah, some people took things too far.
On one hand, you’re right - we shouldn’t stoop so low. On the other hand, is another man’s penis at a showing of the Beetlejuice touring production in Denver.
But think about how good the guy was feeling…anyway hiw about the 27 recorded rapes by the president? https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49344563
Don’t love the rampant sexism and slut shaming in the comments here.
Yeah same. Feels like the commentators really just waited for an “socially acceptable” opportunity to let out their misogyny.
Something something “they don’t care if a liberal calls them evil, but if they get called a [slur] it might seem like it’s coming from someone whose opinion they want to cater to. instead of someone whose opinions they dismiss. And because they are bigoted, being called a [slur] or a slut actually feels like a bad thing to them, instead of the hurtful language of people who don’t matter and shouldn’t be listened to. Use what hurts them.”
I always wondered how to feel about this, when I saw people let loose with bigotry-showing insults against really bad people with conservative and bigoted beliefs. I always leaned towards not liking it on the same grounds as you. I doubt the effectiveness of a random Internet commenter getting bigoted, except towards the big powerful bigots instead of a little guy, in demotivating these people to do bad things. Especially on Lemmy instead of Truth Social or Facebook.
I do wonder how many of the commenters saying this are non-progressives who do think being promiscuous is bad, and thus are not being inconsistent in progressive sex-positive beliefs when they slut-shame—we just assumed they are progressive because we oppose the same people. And how many are progressives who need to do some more work in unpacking bigotry—going mask-off when it’s a Bad Person and showing they still believe somewhere that promiscuity is wrong and dirty, they just hold back the mean comments for Good People. (Or maybe they are full progressive and don’t believe it’s wrong and dirty at all. They are just doing it to hurt the big bad woman who has many political supporters and allies who do believe it is wrong and dirty, and she may herself believe it is wrong and dirty. But onlookers may still read the comments and wonder if that must be their real thoughts about them.) Same for the misogyny. This meme, but with misogyny and slut-shaming instead of bodyshaming
Yes, people do sometimes bring up stuff that is totally inoffensive in insults just because they are trying to be hurtful. But I think the amount of people making bad reference to her brunette-ness (something Americans have deemed irrelevant and inoffensive and not something worth mentioning, as far as I know) in insults is way lower than the amount of people making bad reference to her womanhood or sexual activity, which is probably telling.
I think it also creates ammunition for “look at the progressives, they are just hypocrites, they say sex is good and women are equal. But when someone they don’t like does sex and is a woman, they act the same as the rest of us.”
Wish I had that meme last week, when commenters were body shaming Nicki Minaj. Apparently back-tracking with “bUt sHe HaD sUrGeRy” makes it okay to make blanket statements that insult people who naturally have large bottoms.
I guess I didn’t see those comments. But of all the things to shame Nicki over…choosing to shame her over her body is quite a choice.
Lemmy started off more mature and feminist than reddit but it’s become an equivalent shithole over time.
I may just unplug from social media for a long time at this point.

Honestly good advice in general
It’s very gross. The American relationship with sexuality is broken badly
They’re pretty chill about killing people tho.
Yeah that gets you pg-13 at most
Yep, here we go again, just like with Nicki, the Lemmy sexism problem is showing itself again. Sexism and misogyny is never okay, it’s interesting that many of the sexists here probably consider themselves leftists.
I will donate 14.88 to her next campaign in your honor. I hope she can recover and return to being unabashedly evil and calling for the murder of my family members. Truly, this is the saddest day 💔💔 Our noble girls need to stay home where a strong man can protect them from evil people insulting them on the Internet. Unbelievable misogyny 😭😭😭
You can dislike (and even hate) her without being sexist. I sure do.
Nothing I said was misogynist.
I didn’t say you said anything misogynist. You replied to my comment talking about Lemmy’s sexism problem.
The problem is you’re conflating attacks on a Nazi with attacks on a woman. Those are separate things.
Lemmy has a massive sexism problem but you’ll not find me defending that murderous pig. I know you feel very sorry for her and I’m sure that’s wonderful for you. I feel very sorry for the people she’s hurt (that includes women btw 😱😱)
Look, have fun playing civility charades. I’m sure she’ll remember you fondly. That just ain’t the way I play
Where did you see that I was feeling sorry for her?
I’m not conflating the two. Users saying that they want her to perform sexual acts for them, saying that she’s starting an OnlyFans, and talking about her appearance as many comments in this thread have done hurts all women, not just her.
Those things detract from the terrible shit she’s done, and serve only as a distraction from them. I hate her for what she’s done and who she is, and I can say that without making sexist comments about her which could affect other women.
Did you read the other comments in this thread before you decided to use the women in your life as an example?
Oh god not this shit again.
Sluts are fine. But not as representatives.
Why not?
Well obviously because sluts shouldn’t be represented in government /s
Disagree. Use every slur and insult on these people
wE gO hIgH
I know, these people are out of touch. Enemies of this nature deserve to be attacked with every weapon.
There’s a huge difference between not “going high” vs. being misogynistic and bigoted
Nobody hates her for being a woman. We hate her for her beliefs and actions.
Tell that to the commenters on this post suggesting she start an onlyfans
Jesus, you’re just… zero-nuance, huh?
Nah
Yeah, alright. Or you can just go ahead and normalize bigotry, I guess. I’m sure that won’t do any harm.
Is calling her a slut bigotry though? I’m a whore. I like sex, I like women and I like men, amongst other things. My partner knows this and even she has openly said she was a whore/slut back when she was younger. I’d never shame others for doing what I do, and I’d never act better than anyone who even does a fraction of what I do.
Bobo did that, though. She acted holier than thou. She came off like she was better than everyone and that she didn’t have any stains on her white dress. To me that means when you go and act like that and then do slutty stuff don’t be surprised if you’re called a hoe.
The issue is when you start saying things like that, dropping accusations like that, it’s not only about the person you’re insulting and you. There are other people in the equation. To my mind there are two elements to this:
First: say someone comes from a religious background and isn’t quite so sexually liberated as you and so already struggles with that internalized guilt. Call someone a slut in front of that person and all of a sudden they are witnessing something they’re afraid of in themselves being turned against someone as a weapon to hurt, and now they have to deal with more fear of the shame, this time from you. That’s the thing: you say you’d never shame someone, but how are they supposed to feel safe around you if they see you do it to someone else?
Second: the things we say and do inform the norms of social interaction. Every time you direct an attack rooted in bigotry at someone you establish, just a little bit, the norm that it is acceptable to do so. It leaves the door open for those who might not be so discerning as you to enter the conversation, participate in that bigotry, and then take that a step too far.
Like, sure, you can argue that the insult is coming from a place of “I don’t believe this is wrong, but I know you do, so fuck you.” But the way we handle these conversations dictates more than just that conversation: it impacts social norms as a whole in a way that spits in the face of common decency. I don’t think that’s something we should consider an acceptable cost.
Ultimately, I just think it’s unnecessarily cruel, and utterly pointless when we’re talking about someone who has so much that is perfectly valid to criticize her for.
If you want to do edgy stuff against fascist, fo burn down their car or house or something.
Be careful when you fight monsters
Are you white? If so, would you call Clarence Thomas the N word?
No but only because Uncle Tom is more fitting
Not white, but for my part I absolutely would not. Not in my vocabulary.
If someone else did, though, there are way better uses of my time and energy than wagging my finger and giving them a sanctimonious lecture about it.
This is how I feel. This comments section is full of people who complain about the state of the US but then cry like babies if you attack the oligarchy but aren’t polite about it.
Revolutions are ugly and messy. These prissy democrats don’t have the right stuff to ever make meaningful change.
I don’t think “the right stuff for meaningful change” is calling some no name politician a slut on a forum that maybe a couple thousand people will read, and those that will are already in agreement. Go volunteer or something dude

Good call. Too big–they’ll never find you in there.
