Maybe they paid it to go away afterwards.
You did see my sarcasm tags, right?
BTW - snopes isn’t saying that the event didn’t happen - it did. Asplundh hired undocumented aliens; had them use assumed names; got fined by the DOJ. They’re saying “Don’t blame Dr. Oz - he’s a shareholder with no say in the day-to-day operations.” Which is fair. My comment was showing the mental contortions people will go through for their appointed savior. I said the same thing in 2016 with Trump’s “build the wall” rhetoric, that people were going to say how great and honest he was because his main business is construction, which is known to rely on undocumented labor; removing undocumented labor would increase overall expenses which would harm his company. He’s a savior! /s
Nope. Completely missed the sarcasm tag. Mea culpa!
She very well may not have used her own name as an escort. The pic accompanying the article is from ExploreTalent.com, a casting site. It’s not her escort profile, though it does seem to be presented as implying such a thing.

Lauren Boebert says Jesus was crucified because he didn’t have enough AR15s.
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.” 49 Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 51 Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. 56 But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples left him and fled.
Matthew 26:47-56 (Word English Bible; public domain)
He told his disciple to put away his sword. Try reading the Bible, you fucking idiot. God, I hate when people take the Lord’s name in vain.
That’s just because he was outnumbered, putting him in a no-win situation. Give Peter and a couple of other guys an AR, and the whole situation changes. Not sure how we get to the Resurrection from there, but that’s just details.
Yeah. If not for the Resurrection, Jesus’s entire purpose for, you know, coming to earth wouldn’t have been fulfilled. He had to die so that we’d be entered into a new covenant.
But that’s too nuanced for someone who arms her wait staff.
Nuances are for wimps and losers, amirite?
Well, yeah, that’s just good sense.
So what’s the relevance to Boebert?
They had enough weapons.
There’s a “good guy with a gun” joke in here somewhere.
Except that people who like to quote the Bible allegedly believe to be true (e.g. that Jesus had twelve legions of angels, or whatever it would take to get the Romans to go away and and change their undies, on speed-dial).
Classic intelligence failure - Jesus wasn’t expecting that many Roman soldiers (or Temple guards, too lazy to look it up).
Once you accept that huge numbers of Christians have absolutely no understanding of Christianity it all makes sense.
My version of the Bible is a bit different
“This Human Caterpillar sequel is the worst.”
I wonder if those swords were concealed or open carry?
Centipede.
