Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's post-Reagan America. Even if she loses her primary, she'll be set for life. A book deal, a movie deal, and countless TV appearances.
You forget just how bat-shit-insane she is. I could see her derailing her life like one of Norfolk's trains. I can easily imagine her mugshot and heavy charges for doing something blatantly illegal and insane.
So a reality show?
Oh god.. please don't give her any ideas....
Meh. Sure, she's gonna be able to leverage some of that stuff into a paycheck, but she squandered the influence of more powerful Republicans and generally acted like a spoiled child. Even MTG has more focus on the evil shit conservatives are doing and that's saying something.
Boebert isn't going to get near as many speaking invites and won't be able to charge anywhere near what other ejected Republicans can. Fucking Mike Flynn and the pillow man can charge more than boobert
I'm pretty sure her TV appearances are mostly going to be Newsmax and OAN.
And honestly, the only reason that CO repububs are being this open about ditching her is because everyone already knows her reelection bid is dead in the water. Dem Adam Frich lost by less than a thousand votes in the midterms and all projections anticipate him handily trouncing her in the next general. Its not because they actually care about her giving handies during Beetlejuice.
She was never going to get those speaker invites. Not because she is a shit show but because she never had the ability or talent to do her job. This is all she has and as such, she went full in with the innate abilities she has. From that perspective, I can understand her motivation. Work with what you have. Much like Trump.
What I can't understand is why anyone elects this shit.
From being a high school fail out to $100, 000.00 a year ? That's the new American Dream!!
I was literally just coming to comment something similar. With how mind numbingly stupid she is there is no way in hell she would deserve whatever board member seat she'll end up in after this ends. When we find out where she ends up we'll know who she's been beholden to this whole time.
Paying upfront is bribery, paying with a job after the fact somehow isn't...
