"The more people know about me, the less they like me! It's not fair!!"

Facing the consequences of your actions is not a form of victimhood

I would like to go to dinner in Fort Collins with my boys and not have random people come up and video us, you know?

Bull. Shit. You chose to be an attention seeking loudmouth.

How old have I become that the principal now looks young???

He’s44/45 In Breakfast Club.

So find some identification for yourself, there will be a field for birth date. In that field there should be a four digit number. Subtract that number from 2024, and viola that number is how old you have become.

and viola bassoon that number is how old you have become.

Much better.

What movie is this from? I see a very young Bardem

The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast

Appreciate it...that's one of those titles I've heard so many times and never watched it, finally committed to and just finished watching it, really enjoyed it. The dialogue is so sharp it reads more like a theatrical production, so well done it almost doesn't seem like a movie, my how times have changed.

Maybe don't do things that people find repulsive.

Handjobs aren’t repulsive!

It's the things that come OUT of her mouth that bother me, not what goes IN it

I can't confirm that sentiment.

I have no idea who has been in her mouth, but I'd assume some of them would be repulsive too.

Have you not heard the story of how she met her husband?

"The goddamn media keeps reporting on what I'm doing and its making people dislike me!

THIS ISNT FAIR! HOW DARE YOU REPORT THE THINGS I DO AND MAKE PEOPLE NOT LIKE ME!

EVIL DEMOCRAT MEDIA WOKE LIBERAL COMMUNIST MANIPULATION!"

Problem: the more people know about me, the more they despise me.

Solution: get angry at the media for telling people stuff about me.

Yeah. That checks out.

Ok, so I laughed at some other post a few minutes ago cause it was pretty funny. But this is genuinely funnier.

"How dare you ask me about my public actions at a public event and the response that I gave when it blew up in my face! You're all a bunch of assholes!" - Summary of her response to a question during a televised debate.

All she has to do is drop the media-seeking bullshit and/or stop being a public figure. It's free and easy.

I'm not scientifician, but I'm pretty sure it's a politician's job to get people to like them, not the media.

They could gasp work FOR their constituents, amazing how people like that

If you think about it, it is when it comes to most of the Republicans.

I guess, but even Trump does the leg work by saying things he knows people want to hear.

"The more people get to know me, the less they like me. This is so unfair."

She couldn't get enough media attention!

Just like the rest of those idiotic Republicans, they don't like their words being reported because it puts them in a bad light. But that's just who they are, shitty people that no one likes because of their shitty thoughts.

This is why the 3 pillars of democracy are:

  1. The right to protest
  2. Free Press
  3. The right to vote

They hate all three of these and if they aren't doing nothing you can bet republicans are trying to attack one of those tenets. In this case her problem is "media attention" and not "the media are showing the public exactly what kind of scum I am".

"How dare you hold me accountable for my actions!"

How stupid can one elected official be?? 😂

Proving once and for all that she's not even aware that her horrible behavior created a cycle of negative press, then supporters donating to her or the RNC as a knee jerk reaction. Truly amazing.

I want to insult her and everyone like her, but there aren't enough adjectives and profanities in existence to do the task justice.

Implying the public ever wasn't against her.

The people that voted for her pay attention to media that isn't Fox News?

She's still probably going to win her primary though. If it were her against a single other Republican she'd be in trouble, but there are five other candidates, none of whom are willing to step aside for the strongest contender, so there's a good chance Bobert is going to skate through with some shockingly low percentage of the vote.

I dunno, the primary debate didn't do her any favors either. The moderator took ZERO shit and her competitors grilled her on her lack of any bills signed. Granted, I still don't remember who the hell her competitors are, but maybe Republicans give a shit.

Gotta give her a hand, that's pretty ballsy of her.

To do things most people dislike and then complain about it? So brave, sooooo brave

I guess I should have put "hand" and "balls" in bold or something.

But I’m one of the few that are invited to those closed-door meetings with leadership, with the speaker of the House, whoever the speaker is.

Probably because you keep opening your mouth to the extent that even the members of your own party wish you would go away. Not the flex you think it is Lauren.

'I don't have enough hands to do the work I need to do' - boebert, probably
