Lauren Boebert - Carpetbaggin’ Vapin’ Yankin’ Lauren Opal Boebert née Roberts

[bob]

Unsurprising, Boebert received a huge plurality (and perhaps a majority when it is over), and the race has been called for her.

IIRC, the R is a shoe-in for the general, yes?

Basically, yes: CO-4 is solidly Republican.

The Democrats would need 8 figures and a fantastic candidate to even have a chance in this race.

Boebert can't count. I think she meant, re-elect for the SECOND time, which would be a total of three winning elections. Which is of course incorrect, but whatever. But not 3 re-elections, because that would be 4 winning elections total.

Thank you all for your love and support.

This victory belongs to the faithful voters of Colorado’s 4th district!

Now let’s win this thing November 5th and also reelect (for a third time) President Donald J. Trump!

We’ve got a country to save!

Just prepare yourselves....

After tomorrow...our tax dollars will go to pay her healthcare for the rest of her life, while she'll spend her whole time in Congress trying to take it away from as many as possible...

The retirement plan for Congress members is a good one, comparable to the better ones in the private sector, but it is not the easy-street-for-the-rest-of-your-life that some think it is.

First of all, the retirement benefits are prorated, depending on length of service, just like any retirement plan. I believe that they have to serve 30 years to get full benefits.

Secondly, a congresscritter must be a member of the plan for five years, in order to receive any benefits at all. So, a member of Congress must serve at least two and a half terms. Senators will get benefits after a single term. Plus, those benefits do not begin until retirement age, which I believe is 65.

So, even if Bobo serves three terms, she will have to wait for 27 years to receive even partial benefits.

They do not collect their full salary for life, as some urban legends claim.

[pipistrelle]

Must watch.

He needs to host all debates.

The Colorado Republican was seen sporting a pair of golden Trump sneakers at an election watch party on Tuesday. Boebert, who switched from Colorado's 3rd congressional District to the 4th congressional District, won the GOP primary for the constituency.

But the flamboyant footwear she was wearing wasn't even the real deal, Boebert said.

"These are very China, but I'm okay with that. If I could've bought the OGs, I would have," Boebert told the Denver-based media outlet Westword on Tuesday.

Lauren Boebert settles lawsuit over her past alleged sex work & abortions
A Democratic super PAC alleged that she had been an escort on a "sugar daddy" website.

Thursday, June 27, 2024 · Updated on June 28, 2024

David Wheeler, president of the Democrat super political action committee (Super PAC) American Muckraker, announced in a press release that his defamation lawsuit against Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has been settled.

“The Honorable Kathryn A. Starnella, Magistrate Judge in Federal District Court in Denver, stated in her written opinion that Boebert defamed me five times,” American Muckracker wrote. “In addition, Judge Starnella agreed with me that our donors should never have been threatened with being sued by Boebert. We were victorious in this case and I’m thankful to all our donors and supporters and their steadfast backing.”

Colorado Newsline reported that Wheeler did not disclose the terms of the lawsuit, referring to them as “confidential.”

Wheeler had accused Boebert of making several malicious false statements about the organization back in 2022, after a controversy erupted following American Muckracker’s creation of a website that allegedly made erroneous claims about her. Wheeler admitted to CNN that the website made incorrect statements about Boebert, although he defended the website’s main allegations against her.

Boebert accused Wheeler of “sloppy, reckless, and wildly irresponsible actions.” She also threatened legal action against the Super PAC, however, she never did so. Wheeler claimed that, by accusing the site’s main allegations of being fraudulent, Boebert had defamed the group and caused it to lose 92% of its donations afterward.

Boebert tried to have the lawsuit thrown out, but Judge Starnella refused to do so, claiming that her claims were too severe. Starnella’s ruling said that Boebert’s threats to sue the Super PAC’s sponsors and donors were unprotected by state law because “they were neither made in good faith nor in serious contemplation of litigation.”
