Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

No surprise, I'm fairly certain that she loses battles of wits regularly with small animals and house plants.

Maybe try a battle of giving handjobs at a school play.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Not surprised Pete won.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

She doesn't even qualify has a half wit.

Lauren Boebert couldn't win a battle of wits with a spoonful of guacamole.

Play to your strengths. Stick to giving handies.

Most people will lose a battle of wits with Petey B. He's friggin' quick and incredibly intelligent.

Boebert would lose a battle of wits with a rock though.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

She loses battles of wit with herself nonstop, publicly. I think we're safe.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

She's probably not his type. And she didn't know how to handle that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, she’s not my type either, and I’m pretty into women.

I find hatred and imbecility to be pretty big turn offs, and she’s got both in excess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I think the people who would, are doing this out a sort of hate boner fantasy where they basically fuck the intolerance out of her.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

She's incredibly far from his type, and he's taken, and his husband probably keeps him pretty happy.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Of course Boebert lost. She went into battle unarmed.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

She should probably stick to beetlejuicing in the theater.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

That was the tactic she tried on Pete but for some reason it didn't work. It can't be because he wasn't interested because her pastor told her gay people weren't actually real.

[–] [email protected] 160 points 4 months ago (1 children)

brave of boebert to fight a battle of wits while unarmed

This isn't an article, it's a Twitter thread.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Convenient for those of us who don’t have Twitter accounts

Bobo couldn't win a battle of wits with a damp sponge.

WHOOOOOO debates like a pineapple under the sea?

BOBO FUCKWIT!

Who jerks a guy off in a theatre indecently?

BOBO FUCKWIT!

If christofascist bullshit be something you wish

BOBO FUCKWIT

She'll drop her face in your lap and blub like a fish!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

She’s as smart as she is tall

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

That's that's not her IQ, it's the temperature outside. 80°, with 95% humidity to make things extra unbearable.
