Rep. Lauren Boebert's 18-year-old son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and is facing 22 charges, including several felony charges relating to a string of crimes in her Colorado district.

According to a Facebook post by the Rifle Police Department, the 18-year-old Boebert was arrested after a "recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts" in Rifle, a town in Colorado's 3rd congressional district.

According to Garfield County Jail's records, the younger Boebert is facing four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, four counts of criminal possession of ID documents, and a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.

He's also charged with four misdemeanor counts of ID theft, three misdemeanor counts of first-degree criminal trespass, and three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

In addition, he's also charged with three counts of the petty offense of theft of less than $300.

Isn’t there some kind of conservative something or other about women staying at home? Like… to look after the kids etc?

I’m not saying that ‘philosophy’ is correct, but I do wonder if the cognitive dissonance amongst her supports is ringing ever more loudly.

I don't usually post hot political takes, but I'd fuck the shit out of Laurens Boeberts

You’d likely get a raft of diseases.

Kind of like looking past Hunter Biden and his laptop?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I suppose you'd prefer the orange traitor that gives out classified documents to our enemies. Getting hung up on Biden's son when Trump is a very literal traitor to our country and handing out classified documents, is asinine.

And no, I don't think shitting on Boebert's son is necessary. I'm tired of the hit-pieces on people's families. She's a dumpster fire without any help. Sounds like her son is the one that needs help.

If I had no idea who they were, I would still look at that group photo and think they all look entirely untrustworthy and make assumptions about them being terrible people. Or that they were a fake family posing for the example photo in a photo frame.

What a nice looking young man!

That facial hair. Damn. I'd wager he feels he has something to prove and I can see why.

"criminal possession of a financial device"

'Had to look up what is considered a financial device...

Under 18-5-702 CRS, it is a criminal offense in Colorado to use, possess, or manufacture a blank credit card. Unlawful use of a financial transaction device encompasses credit cards, debit cards, ATM cards, or other financial devices. This crime can be a petty offense, misdemeanor, or a felony.''

Yeah... It sounds like he and his minor friends stole 4+ wallets from various (probably unlocked) cars that each contained someone's ID & credit cards and at least some of the wallets also had cash.

And these people think that they are morally superior. Amazing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Wait....I suddenly have a suspicion why the dad was being rough with the son.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Hear me out now.

Perhaps she should not be givin' handies in auditoriums, and maybe she should be focusing more on the problems of her son and cut out the malarkey.

This brings a good point. When my wife and I were dating, we would go to the back of the theater and she would give me a nice BJ there. She (my wife) and I are by no means evil. I think it's just a thing you do when you don't have a house with a private bedroom. But there are adult book stores where that is common place and completely out in the open for people to join in if they want. It's just the sort of thing that you don't share at work and don't do when you are trying to impress others... outside of the adult book stores... I think BJ's should stay legal to give and receive.

Being a bad parent on the other hand is completely different. It shows how much you care for the people you love the most and are responsible for. So how can we expect her to do better for people she doesn't even know?

I don’t care if she’s fucking the whole town behind closed doors or in places that such behavior is welcome. But she needs to parent better, and if that takes time away from her sex life then so be it.

But also he’s 18 and has two parents. I’m not going to say it’s all her neglect. He’s an adult. And I wouldn’t be surprised if her parenting more would make it worse. She’s got shit morals

"It's shit all the way down, Randy."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I seen the shit bird talking at a shit podium to all the other shit birds, Sconie. As far as the eye could see, shit birds. All cooing and cawing peeping and whistling shit songs, Sconie. It was a sight to see. I got shit in my eyes, bud.

Also, the shit apple never falls far from the shit tree.

Sounds like her son needs more support than his mother is providing. Sounds like she's a neglectful mother.
