    This is our government. This is our government because people voted for these people over other people. People chose this over other options.

    Which is why I freely tell people I’m surrounded by morons. Morons everywhere in this country. All around.

    So people reply to that with “have you ever considered that YOU’RE the common denominator? All of society can’t be all wrong!”.

    When they say that I just say “Thanks for self identifying as part of the moron herd.”

    Because yes, if one person is wrong, and everybody plays follow the leader, then EVERYBODY is wrong together.

    Right now, roughly 52% of the country is wrong together, but I’d say closer to 90% of the country are just in general morons.

    “Now that we have all been cautioned in this committee hearing that the mention of Pentagon’s Immaculate Constellation program could put us on a list,” Boebert said. “Well, I already find myself on many lists, I’m sure, as I speak my mind often. So why not just keep going with it?”

    “May as well just go all out and say it. The Earth is flat, birds are government drones, and we’ve never set foot on the moon, and Joe Biden received 81 million votes in the 2020 election,” she continued.

    “So, let’s just see how many lists we could get on here today.”

    —Batshit Boebert

      So this dummy used 2 demonstrably false batshit qrazy conspiracies, a demonstrably false batshit crazy satire of conspiracies, and the truth. What a weird combination.

        Or (and I realize I’m playing devil’s advocate here, but…) maybe she was being sarcastic about all of them? The fact that she referenced the outcome of the 2020 election (the number of votes Biden actually got) along with “the earth is flat” and “birds aren’t real” makes me think she doesn’t believe any of them and this is just bait.

          She was being sarcastic in the sense she thinks they’re all false. This includes the factual statement that Biden received 81 million votes.

    While Boebert is an imbecile, the context certainly makes it clear to me that she is speaking in jest.

      She is, but also insinuating being a Flat Earther gets you on a watch list. If anything it should get you on an ignore list labeled: Too stupid to be a threat

      Read the comments here. Every single one of these idiots believes she was stating her version of the truth. Not a soul here actually watched the video or even read the story.

    She always looks like a SNL character, like she has a cheap wig and is consciously trying to look like a parody of someone else.

      Someone once said she looks like Bert in a wig, and I cannot unsee it. Someone also said something far more uncharitable than that, and I cannot unsee that, either…

    Joe Biden received 81 million votes in the 2020 election

    They will just never, EVER, get over losing in 2020, will they? The same people screeching “fuck your feelingz” at everyone else over 2016 and 2024?

    Such tiny little babies.

    For the love of all that is holy, someone put her on a rocket so she can see for herself.

    And then forget how to land the fucking thing.
