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!

Doesn't fall far from the tree eh?

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

He certainly completes the look of a pedophile.

Misdemeanor? Just like overstaying a visa? Same punishment then. Send him to alligator auchwitz.

[–] rmrf@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

Not even; overstaying a visa is a summary offense in the US, no different than a parking ticket.

A Republican introduced a bill last year to increase the fines and create a criminal offense for it as well, but that never even went to a vote.

In January 2024, Tyler called the police and reported that his father, Jayson, was assaulting him at their home in Garfield County, resulting in the elder Boebert's arrest. The arrest affidavit said Jayson allegedly "pushed Tyler to the ground and pushed his thumb into his mouth."

The guy who exposes himself to underage girls. Class act

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 60 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Are these the crime families Republicans talk about?

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 23 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Judging by the list of crimes he’s been charged with in the past, I would say yes.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't he already like, steal a bunch of credit cards by breaking into cars?

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, felony charges. Apparently one of the people he stole from was diagnosed with brain cancer and was saving up money to pay for brain surgery that she can no longer afford. I’m sure he didn’t target her directly but holy shit

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 15 hours ago

A true model citizen.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

They'll still vote their kind into congress though.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 28 points 19 hours ago

MAGA, amiright?

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago

The shit apple doesn’t fall far from the shit tree.

Trash gonna trash.

[–] tylerkdurdan@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

this trash should be ashamed of himself and that excuse for a mustache

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

It's a "full beard" too, but you'd have to really zoom in to tell.

[–] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 15 hours ago

Perfectly on brand. No notes

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

I thought only illegals do crimes.

[–] Auk@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)
[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I bet he brags about how good at vaping he is

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

"I blow the fattest clouds, bro."

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

So does mom

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 1 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I bet he vapes when he has sex

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing wrong with vaping while being blown. Or smoking a cigar. Or receiving a handy. It can be very relaxing and plays into power dynamics.

negotiate, consent, bdsm, yada-yada...

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I doubt he has many interests besides in and out.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh yeah, he's a shithead just like his mom. Hopefully he loses all custody, the mother of the child is not a total shithead; maybe the kid has a chance.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I bet he can only cum while vaping and getting an over-the-pants handie in a public theater.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Watching “Reagan” and they both cum when he says “trickle down”

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 0 points 16 hours ago

Oh I bet he cums hard and fast with another bro.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Hand joins. Hands slaps. What a handy family.
