As more and more details are being revealed about Rep. Lauren Boebert's wild night out in Denver last weekend — having been kicked out of "Beetlejuice" the musical for vaping and just generally being a public nuisance with her male companion — a full picture is coming together of what the other theater patrons around her that night had to endure.

Newly released footage of the night in question appears to show Boebert's exposed breasts being fondled by her date for an extended period of time while she, in turn, dawdles around in his lap with her hand. As many have pointed out on social media, having seen this footage, children were seated all around the couple that night, within viewing range of what they were up to.

"Laurent Boebert was jerking her date off in public while he gropes her in a theater where children were present and yet she continues to attack LGBTQ people as 'threats to children,'" writes journalist and clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo on X, sharing the footage of Boebert in the act.

What is this country coming to when you can't even go to a production of "Beetlejuice" and jerk your date off a bit while you get your hooters groped? Everyday our traditional American values of vaping indoors and being loud and unpleasant to those around us are being stripped away by cultural Marxists and the nanny state. How are our children going to meet their future husbands as minors at bowling alleys, when said husbands can't even publicly expose their genitalia without fear of the woke mob?

America isn't even half of what it used to be anymore! It's barely even Amer! That isn't even enough to guess the full word without the i, and soon enough we'll lose the r, and then none of us will ever get our tits wrenched in public again!

This is all Consitutionally protected behavior.

The 1st Amendment riight of Freedom to Press the Button om the vape.

The 2nd amendment right to bare titties and arms.

The 4th amendment right gauranteeing freedom to sieze the cock.

And thos people that reported the vape should be arrested if they said "Fire" in a theater when mentioning the smoke.

Can you imagine the outrage if a Democrat did something like this? It would be front page news across the country, but this kind of vile behavior in front of children is just another day in GQPLand.

Don't forget, people. It's always projection with conservatives. Next time you hear one scream about pedos, might as well start looking at their hard drives :)

do you guys not have an idiom for that?

in Hungarian we have (literally translated) : How one lives, thus they judge.

[–] Pencilnoob 51 points 1 year ago (3 children)

A classic that kind of means the same thing is "me thinks he doth protest too much" from Shakespeare to indicate someone who brings up a topic they are guilty of.

Why hasn't she been arrested for public nudity, sex acts in public, and all the upgrades for committing these crimes in front of minor children?

[–] CharlesDarwin 53 points 1 year ago

Everyone should start calling her a groomer I think. Just like everyone should refer to Gaetz as Groomer Gaetz.

They absolutely hate it when you turn their terms around on them.

Unreal. Absolutely fucking unreal. And these people have the gall to call reading fully clothed at a library a sexual act, but here the fuck they jerking off on public in front of kids.

I know I'm not saying anything new or interesting, but as someone who has felt threatened by the conservative groomer language as of late, this really fucking gets to me.

This quote by Sartre applies to Republicans

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

In other words, they don't care about reason or consistency. If you point out that what they said is contradictory they don't care.

You can't argue with them. You can't reason. They are consciously or otherwise operating from an emotional , literal nonsense, level of thought.

They need to be removed from power and I don't really care that much which box of liberty gets used to get the job done.

I'm old enough to remember this sort of thing having a deleterious effect on the career of Paul Reubens.

[–] Muddbiker 104 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You are leaving out the part where he was in an adult (porn) theater. A little different. Guy went from being the darling of every parent and the media to ostracized and no career for decades. It was rather unjust.

Yup. His career was fucked for less than this.

Just imagine the outrage and slandering of entire demographics that would be going on if there were a gay couple instead, or if this was something that happened at a drag show.

Just something to think about when you see your 'christian' republican relatives play this down

So...were there children in the audience? Sounds like she could be forced to register as a sex offender under some American laws.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (4 children)

There were, but for your idea to happen, the GOP would have to have feel shame and/or have honor to hold her accountable. And that's just not the case. If she was someone like AOC, or hell, any other DEM member, they would have already been forced to resign. But this is BoBo, classless, white trash, a upstanding symbol of everything Trumpers stand for.

It's a good thing she isn't gay! Otherwise fondling someone's genitals in public around kids would have been a bad thing instead of a good thing.

I think at this point we can pretty much assume that anybody who makes public speeches about sexual perversion is, themself, a pervert.

[–] FuglyDuck 93 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So. Uhm.

Groping and giving a handy in public seems to be illegal in Colorado. And probably sufficient to land her on the sexual offenders list.

There's only one thing the gop loves more than LOUD projection and that's abusing kids. The party of the grand ol' pedophiles


  • NOTE: I'm reaching the character limit on Reddit posts, so here's a website with a list of about 1000 of these republican shit stains on humanity.

For someone who is worried about the sanctity of marriage when gay people wanna do it, she sure is publicly stepping out on her husband before their divorce is finalized.

Is she divorced yet? Don't Christians frown on adultery too?

Lauren is a trashy piece if shit. Vaping in a thestre, letting her bf feel her huge tits in front of people and being a disgusting woman in general. Pretty insane times we’re living in these days. The republican party has very quickly turned from suited up war machine puppets to cigarette smoking, fake tits and orange makeup

You can take a woman out of a trailer, but not a trailer out of a woman.

They were shaming a dishonest sex worker.

I'm just surprised that the man isn't Gaetz. They were 100% having an affair while she was still married to her pedophile husband.

Looks like exposing yourself in front of children is just Boebert's fetish. Odd choice for a GOP lackey, since they're always droning on and on about protecting children. Once again, the calls are coming from inside the house with them.
