But how does he feel about musicals?
I’m guessing he’d be drawn toward production staff. This family seems to prefer a hands-on approach to the theater.
That story was missing the best part:
Does her son have a laptop?
He probably has a whole stack of them.
I would also have accepted: The question should be: “Who does he feel about musicals?”
Lol!
(Discourse)
I may have already said this in this thread, but a while back, I described her and Marjorie Taylor Greene as the GG Allin(s) of Congresspeople.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if either of them used the Capitol building as a latrine (outside the women’s rooms) or flashed their boobs on live television. (Pass the brain bleach.)
As some type of protest or because it’s easier. Why walk all the way to the bathroom when you can just piss in a lamp instead?
Edit: That’s a link to an SNL video, I didn’t mean for it to look like it was a cite
Incredibly nerdy nitpick: It’s ‘bawdy’. Unless they were using digital technology.
Nitpick accepted, I know the proper spelling, but it doesn’t mean I typed it.
I couldn’t find a link to an image, but back in the day, there was a “Dilbert” cartoon about “Cuborg 2000” which included “these tubes attach to various parts of your body so you never need to leave.”
Dilbert: “…various parts…?”
Pointy haired boss: “Let’s just say you don’t want to get these two tubes mixed up. The Cuborg 3000 is expected to have air holes.”
Rep. Ken Buck – who had already announced he’s retiring and whose seat Boebert is running for – announced today he’s going to resign from Congress at the end of next week. That means there will need to be a special election to fill the remainder of his term, as well as the primary and general election for the next term.
I don’t know enough about Colorado special elections law to say whether this helps or hurts Boebert, but the great news is this leaves House Republicans down a member for a while. And if she does run in and win the special election she would have to resign her current seat in Colorado’s 3rd District, which would also create a Republican vacancy.
I think he has a good take on why now is a good time to leave:
" It is the worst year of the nine years and three months that I’ve been in Congress and having talked to former members, it’s the worst year in 40, 50 years to be in Congress. …
“This place has just devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people."
Ron Filipowsli has some analysis:
It appears based on my reading of the Colorado Special Election statute that no Special Election may be held within 90 days of the general election in November, or within 60 days of a primary which is June 25. Therefore, it seems possible that a Special Election could be held next month to fill this seat.
It also appears, since Lauren Boebert is switching districts, that she would have to resign her current House seat in order to be eligible for the Special election. It is also too late to qualify for the ballot in her current district. So, Boebert appears to be in a bit of a bind where she likely will have to resign her current seat in CO-3 to run in the Special Election unless she wants to run against the winner of the Special Election in November, which is not ideal.

Dedicated Ken Buck thread here:
Something there sounds wrong. The winner of the June Republican primary would run against the winner of the Democratic primary, not against any other Republican. The winner of the Special Election, IF they are also one of the contenders in the primary, which is almost certain, but not guaranteed, would still have to win the primary to be in the November ballot.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis has announced that the special election will be on June 25 – the same day as the primary for the full term. Also, the state party committees will choose who will be their respective nominees for the special election, and Boebert is unlikely to be chosen by the Colorado GOP leadership.
The upshot is that this is bad news for Boebert, as GOP voters are most likely to vote for the same individual in both the special election and the Republican primary.
Considering Buck’s comments about he felt about the actions and inactions of the current members, I would NOT be surprised to find that the timing of his resignation, and the way it may screw Boebert were deliberate.
If the party doesn’t decide to put forward a placeholder. But that may depend on how things look for the primary and if there is a pruning of candidates so they can better pick.
