I've organized several plant tours at a different motorcar company for my car club. Had to send ID info for all participants 2 weeks in advance, which was re-verified on arrival.Gregg wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 9:47 pm I find it hard to believe that they let a group of people take a tour of the Capital without so much as getting their name. I really don't have a problem with her giving a tour to friends, I could and would arrange it for anyone who wants to see a motorcar company factory (don't laugh, they sell them in Dearborn for $15 a pop and sell out every day) but I'm dead nuts certain that they have to give IDs to Security before they're allowed past the lobby.

In this case, the Capitol was shut down to visitors because of covid, IIRC. And this was before she was sworn in, so she was not yet a member of Congress.

I could see someone extending a courtesy to a Representative-Elect, probably McCarthy's office and all of that is fine, no one knew what was coming or that she would be the co chair of the Hitler Youth Conference. But still, "we're gonna need a list of names in advance, and at the door".

Another moment of brilliance today for Lauren Boebert questioning the HHS Secretary:
Boebert: What is a man?
HHS: You’re looking at one.
Boebert: Great! I like that. Can men get pregnant?

He shouldn't have apologized. Also, I've noticed lately the use of pregnant person instead of woman. I can't decide what I think about that terminology.

Lauren Boebert thinks you should be at least 21 before coming out as LGBTQ
David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
April 02, 2022
Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is jumping on the right's increasingly extremist anti-LGBTQ agenda, declaring Americans should have to be at least 21-years old before coming out as LGBTQ, and especially transgender.
"We require people to be 21 to purchase alcohol beverages, and 21 to purchase tobacco products," tweeted Boebert, the owner of Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado.
"Why is it so unreasonable to require people to reach a certain level of maturity before making life-altering decisions about their sexuality and identity?" asked Boebert, a high school dropout, gun rights activist, who has zero education in childhood development, LGBTQ issues, or human sexuality.
Boebert, who repeatedly has been accused of promoting QAnon conspiracy theories, is also an anti-LGBTQ activist who has filed anti-transgender legislation.

Re: Lauren Boebert - Rootin’ Tootin’ Shootin’ Lauren Opal Boebert née Roberts
Whilst BobbleHead doesn''t get.... well ..... anything there IS a legitimate question that needs to be raised and discussed around, at what stage of an individuals age, particularly when it comes to trans gender issues, when an individual is sufficiently mature to make their decisions around actual irreversible actions such as surgery or potentially difficult to reverse without issue such as puberty postponement hormone treatments etc.
Not identifying, not getting the right support etc but Bobblehead simply doesn't have the intellectual ability to see or grasp the difference between the two.

Should females be at least 21 before Mr. Bieber unzips in front of them?

Re: Lauren Boebert - Rootin’ Tootin’ Shootin’ Lauren Opal Boebert née Roberts
By not identifying as LBTG, you would be by default, identifying as straight (at least in bobble's world). Therefore, by identifying as straight, you are making your choice which you cannot do until 21. Thus, no dating before 21.

For most transformational surgeries like plastic surgery, doctors require the patient to be a certain age because the body itself is still transforming.
Trans surgeries, as far as I’m aware, follow the same general rules. What’s she blathering on about it for?

I wonder if it took Boebert until she was 21 to realize that she wasn’t trans.
