Lauren Boebert escorted from Beetlejuice performance in Denver https://t.co/RZCZH8x1Ch
— The Colorado Sun (@ColoradoSun) September 12, 2023
Theater officials told The Colorado Sun on Monday that two patrons were “escorted from the theater” Sunday, but declined to say who they were, citing privacy concerns.
Brian Kitts, director of marketing and communications for Denver Arts and Venues, said the patrons were talking loudly, vaping and using cameras. They were warned during an intermission, but the behavior continued into the second act, at which point the two were asked to leave.
As they were being escorted from the property, the two people said “stuff like ‘do you know who I am,’ ‘I am on the board,’ (and) ‘I will be contacting the mayor,’” according to a security incident report obtained by The Sun from the city through an open records request.

She’s sure dressed pretty ho-ish for live theater, but go on, girl. What a fucking loser. I love that her people were like “OMG she was just having a good time you squares”. Stick to that story, it will definitely work.

She is an actual human embarrassment. Embarrassment is a good word to use talking about LB because it has an ass in it.
Alison Rose
@Ruckus: Makes me wanna pronounce it wrong to really emphasize that point. EmbarrASSment.

In Grand Junction, Co (one of largest towns in Bobert’s Co-3 district) there is a prominent billboard along a high-traffic street that says: “Lsuren Bobert is an Embarrassment to Colorado”

It’s a known acronym among airline employees. Or everybody who has to deal assholes like that.

OT, forget when where in the last couple of days someone commented to the effect that “all CEO’s of space launch companies are douchebags,” here is a guy who sure does not seem like a douchebag.
Appearances can be deceiving, for sure, but Tory Bruno is clearly well honed and upbeat, not a deranged snowflake.
And Dustin Sandlin is (politics and religion aside, which, thakfully, he almost never brings up) a fabulous human.

@HumboldtBlue: while I would very much like to see this fail in the House, it does bother me some that IF, by some means, they DO vote and it passes to go to the Senate, that we’ll see the MSM find some way to give this a fig leaf of credibility.
all unlikely, but when there is a significant portion of the 4th estate owned and directed by the Fascist-curious or driven by the revenue of clicks rather than facts, well… I’d just as soon not have my blood pressure tested.

ColoradoGuy
Yeah, probably not vaping nicotine. For out-of-staters, no, it is not legal in Colorado to vape marijuana, or concentrates, in a public venue, like a theater or restaurant. That alone will get you thrown out. (And told to never come back.)
For that matter, if you are obviously stoned, out you go. Good luck with the Uber. You’ll need it. The penalties for drunk or stoned driving are ferocious … two years of probation and possible jail time.

Also, it’s a long, long drive from Denver to Grand Junction, or wherever she, and her new boyfriend, call home. Colorado is a big state and her district is on the other side of it. So not an Uber drive except at astronomical cost.
lowtechcyclist
They did seem to be on the verge of popping right out of the dress, especially in the overhead view in the last ~10 seconds of the video.
At least her boobs look nice, unlike that weaselly face of hers.
@ColoradoGuy:
I’d assume someone living that far away and taking in a nighttime show in Denver would book a hotel room there and drive home the next day.

Boebert could’ve been an inspiring person, if she wasn’t such an asshole.
Knocked up teenage high school dropout makes it to Congress in her 30’s. Should be some sort of Hallmark feel good story, but it’s not cause she’s an asshole.

She would need to be a Democrat, and everyone would ignore her life story because she wouldn’t be crazy.

That last picture in the post — MTG really needs to wash her face after a bender BEFORE she gets into bed. And maybe tone down the eyeliner.
Geminid
@gene108: Boebert had better save up some of her Congressional salary. I give her a less than 50-50 chance of making it into the next Congress. She’s vulnerable to a strong primary challenge and if she survives that, a Presidential year electorate is liable to propel the Democratic candidate past her.
Most defeated Representatives land on their feet, but Boebert is very low-skilled for a Congressperson. Boebert’s an awful public speaker, so I think she’ll need to get a real job.
eclare
@Princess:
Hehehe…

@Baud:
TBFH I don’t think the Democratic party or base would vote a high school dropout into office. Even if they were insanely good at their job. We are the tribe that has a fetish for paper credentials over all else.
Her story also isn’t a “got dealt a bad hand and made good” one either. Sure, she dropped out and made it to congress OK. But in the time between she married a sex criminal and ran a Hooters but with guns where she gave people bloody liquid shits!
On vaping it’s litterally sold as a thing you can do anywhere as it’s not smoking and thus second hand smoke does not exist. In practice though it’s all over the map. When it comes to work you might be able to do it at your desk, you might be stuck with the designated smoking area, or you may not have a smoking area and you have to do it while walking around the block. It’s utterly confusing for everyone.
Geminid
@Geminid: Last year, a credible challenger- Stste Senator Don Coram- did not come very close in the primary. But after that, Boebert beet the Democrat by less than 1000 votes. I think that was an R+7 or 8 district.
If Colorado Republicans are well organized, they’ll organize behind a strong primary challenger to knock Boebert out. My understanding is that they are not, but an ambitious 3rd CD Republican will likely step up. He’d get some national money, because Republicans are barely holding on the House and they need that seat.

It’s generally hard to be a high school dropout and insanely good at the job, as Boebert shows. But I don’t actually know who the least credentialed Dem is.

@HumboldtBlue: A word I had not thought about in a long time comes to mind to describe Boebert in a single word.
Guttersnipe.
The Urban dictionary defines the word as follows
n. 1) A low-life classless buffoon who fancies him or herself above all others. 2) A person who feels that they can act on their own whims without regard to consequences to themselves or others. 3) One who thumbs their nose at polite society.

@Geminid: She’s aggressively stupid, but she does know all that, and it clearly terrifies her.
BTW either that was her first time walking on heels in her life or she was completely hammered, and I’m a 5’10 200-pound man and I walked better than that my first time on heels so …

Of course, as a devout grifter the cost would doubtless be somehow charged to the taxpayers.

@Jay:
I’ve been an employer. Just to start this off.
What the fuck? Is it time to bring back firing squads?
How does someone become such a pompous arrogant ass that thinks that it’s his world to fuck over as he pleases. I mean I know that a lot of people are, but still, he wants slavery and whipping and probably doesn’t care if his workers die, as long as he makes money? Humanity means that little to him, as in nothing at all?
I’d ask what is humanity coming to but I know some of it has been this way since day one, it’s why I can spell pompous arrogant ass so easily.

@Princess:

And since we are newly arrived residents of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, if her name ever appears on a ballot in front of me, I will gleefully vote against her.

The thing that always gets me about the “do you know who I am” tactic is that if you’ve even had to ask it, no matter what the answer is, you’ve already lost. Because either 1) they DO know who you are and they clearly don’t give a shit, so by asking the question you’re just going to bring that fact out into the open and embarrass yourself further; or 2) they DON’T know who you are which would usually show that you’re not important enough for random strangers to recognize, and again, by asking the question, you’re causing that to become explicit rather than implicit.
Not that I expect this woman to be able to do anything even approaching this level of critical thinking. He two remaining brain cells have been superglued to opposite sides of her skull and can’t come together to help her cogitate on anything deeper than brushing her hair.

We’re showing Barbie at my theater this weekend. Rumor hath it that Lauren Boebert is set to make an appearance at the coffee shop across the street on Saturday. (The coffee shop in question being owned by the right-wing nutter-butter who just squeaked into a position on our Board of County Commissioners in an ugly recall battle prompted by the lunatic fringe hereabouts.)
I hope she doesn’t have any ideas about trying to cross the street and come see the movie. Altho’ the prospect of throwing Boobie out of Barbie does have its twisted sort of appeal.
