Well, he’s not checking that “public sex offender” button now is he? I need more proof that this person is anti-Q. That person needs to up his or her game. Can this person at least raise a despicable family from his or her loins? I mean, you need at least one. I guess he or she could go to NYC to become a stud. Like Joe Buck. Wow. Good job, CO. The “come in my hand but don’t wear gloves” state. Really good stuff there. ---

Boebert is currently in the hospital, having undergone emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in one of her legs. > **[Lauren Boebert hospitalized, underwent surgery for blood clot, campaign says](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/colorado/news/lauren-boebert-hospitalized-underwent-surgery-for-blood-clot-campaign-says/)** > > Rep. Lauren Boebert was taken to a hospital in Loveland after experiencing severe swelling in one of her legs on Monday, her campaign team said. Doctors found a blood clot and the congresswoman was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome. I hope she recovers well, but also that she takes this as a sign to retire and focus on her health. ---

Thank you for reporting that. I don’t think I could have done so without adding Pit-level-snark. For those who didn’t click the link, she has been diagnosed with the following: > **[May-Thurner Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment](https://www.webmd.com/dvt/may-thurner-syndrome)** > > May-Thurner syndrome boosts your odds of getting deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Find out what it is, what to look for, and how it’s treated. So, not exactly a one-time problem with a one-time treatment (although apparently the stent should be a common fix), but one that is largely treatable, if one takes the proper steps. ---

Well that sounds unpleasant. I wish her well in her medical treatment, which preferably will take place somewhere out of the public eye. ---

> [@FlikTheBlue](#): > > Boebert is currently in the hospital, having undergone emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in one of her legs. Something similar happened to my wife. I despise Ms. Boebert and what she has done to our democracy but don’t wish that kind of thing on anyone. It’s scary and like you and @Gyrate I hope she recovers well (and maybe that recovery will include getting out of politics and just going back to bothering neighbors). ---

Before the DVT issue (I wish her well), apparently, there was another Boeberts Behaving Badly incident at – of all places – a Trump fundraiser: > **[“They had to cut her off”: Report says server denied booze to “overserved”...](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/had-cut-her-off-report-155642376.html)** > > "Eventually Donald Trump's security detail stepped in" after Boebert tried to take photos with him, CNN reports. > [@](#): > > Boebert, who faces a difficult election battle after switching districts and coming under fire for vaping and groping at a Denver theater, was told by a server that “they would not bring her any more alcohol,” multiple witnesses told the outlet.

I’m pleased by this event in Boebert’s defective life as a degenerate, unpatriotic traitor. Certainly such creatures deserve humane treatment. So, last open bunk goes to it, as the least deserving of creatures with humanoid designs upon its exterior housing. That is correct and fair. I would not have created an entire thread about that subject, but a defensible reply on the topic is germane, coherent, apropos, and entirely on point, and I forbid any bullshit complaints. In plain speech, I “explain” Lauren Boebert as a repulsive, sex-offending, performance-interrupting belligerent, with a horrid skin condition, who apparently claims to require medical treatment. So, good luck CO. You got got by Russ and now you’ve done been got by Bo! ---

I wouldn’t even go that far A horrid, miserabl, and lingering death accompanied by a chorus of derision is far more than such a useless failure as a human deserves. There is no karma, nor afterlife. So 100% of her comeuppance must be visited upon her by her fellow humans while still alive. You don’t want to know my plans for larger criminals against humanity. Of which there are multitudes. ---

If anyone can ‘hold’ their alcohol I would think it would be her. She owned a bar that encouraged waitresses to open carry guns. It’s not a good idea to mix guns and alcohol. I say that as a gun owner and drinker. ---

Bad news for Boebert-haters: she overwhelmingly won the Republican nomination in Colorado’s 4th District yesterday. She decided to run in the 4th District this year despite currently representing Colorado’s 3rd District, reasoning she’d have an easier time getting reelected. She was right. The district overall is redder than her current district, so she should have no problem winning the general election. ---
