Rep. Boebert (R-CO) in a standoff with Capitol Police after refusing metal detector and bag search outside House chamber
- Thread starter Syriel
- Start date
I just want people to know that millions of students, both high school and even earlier, are forced to go through metal detectors every time they go to school because politicians like the ones in the OP feel that children's blood being spilled in classrooms is worth it to "protect their 2nd Amendment rights." If kids can deal with the triffling hassle of going through a metal detector almost daily, why can't these clowns?
Some members of congress think that are "above the law" in the same way that the president is. They aren't though.
Nancy Pelosi wants $5,000 fines for lawmakers who ignore metal detectors, dodge Capitol security
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said many House Republicans had flouted new security rules after pro-Trump rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol.

Hopefully the fines will dissuade GOP idiots from ignoring the metal detectors.
It wouldn't surprise me at all. She is just another one of these people who are anti-government masquerading as "American Patriotism" and she was probably coached in it her whole life coming from a "small town" as she likes to put it.
Same.
Seen a few "face comparisons" go wrong in my day.
But she did claim in the media she was given a tour of the capitol building by her daughter.
Lauren Boebert vowed to shake things up in Congress. She has delivered in her first week.
As she barnstormed across the 3rd Congressional District last year with a pistol on her hip and a steady stream of Democrat-aimed insults rolling off her tongue, Lauren Boebert promised to make a big, loud splash in the nation’s capital if voters sent her to Congress. Colorado’s newest U.S...

Well, this gets interesting. But, I'll wait for a real confirmation beyond Twitter detectives. Also, Keith Olbermann knows nothing.

I wondered what this was about. I imagine it's not the last we hear about it. Real bad look if it is her, with Boebert's Tweets sounding even more sinister.
It seems incredibly obvious to me that these Qanon caucus freaks never had any interest in being a civil servant, they're just using this to get "fired 4 tha second amendment!!!" on their resume, all while exposing aging Democrats to Covid in hopes of getting them killed.
That's a stupid accusation to make like that and he deserves to get sued for a ton of money if he's wrong.
I can't tell if you're serious or you're just ignorant about slander and defamation.
He didn't even make an accusation. He just said some dramatic things while re-tweeting.
Olbermann has done far worse and not gotten sued.
And in the US slander and defamation cases are incredibly rare/tough to do anything with in the first place.
Keith Olbermann is an expert on losing jobs, so maybe he's on to something here.
Not Keith, the person who he linked to. What Keith is doing is also incredibly stupid and potentially dangerous as well. It's why mods here ban people for conducting their own investigations with zero actual evidence.
Slander cases are way harder to win than libel. You have to prove the statement was false, prove you suffered from damages and prove the statement was unprivileged. Oh, and since he's a public official, he would also have to prove actual malice behind the statement.
It's exceedingly hard for a public official to ever win a slander case
That's.... not how any of this works. If it was Biden could literally sue half of twitter successfully. Reason mods don't do sleuthing is because that causes a cesspool of bad behavior and hunting people down.
Republicans view minor inconveniences as malicious, insulting, and only for the bottom-feeder class.
That person is making an accusation without proof. That's just stupid. Let the authorities do it.
I mean, I'm not thinking much of that internet sleuther's comparison till we get hard evidence. But there's no legal avenue against someone tweeting stuff like that. I mean, spurious lawsuits are an option. Just ask Devin Nunes' cow. But those lawsuits have no basis and wouldn't survive a court room.
Oh you said "he"; it says "she/her" in the profile of the accuser.
But she fell back to "this is just an opinion" either way.
It's really not hard to avoid slander/libel in the US.
So submit it without posting it to Twitter. The hell is wrong with some people.
It's not. No one is going to win a slander case against a random ass tweet from a private citizen.
Can you find a case where a libel/slander suit was effective based on internet sleuthing in a tweet with no direct harassment? No? I can tell you, it's not because that doesn't happen.
This actually makes a lot of sense to me since the first time I saw that video, I swore her look and voice reminded me of Boebert herself. But then I thought to myself that that was impossible for obvious reasons...
If it actually turns out to be her mother... lol
Yeah, just accused her of leading a coup against the United States.
You could say she leads a secret cabal to harvest adrenochrome from abducted children and it would not be something she could successfully sue over.
pretty much. all this pearl clutching for something that literally none of us will decide lol
They'd sooner die than sue for libel over a false accusation of a coup because that means admitting it was a coup.
This is your second attempt at quoting the same post and you're still just as wrong. How about replying to one of the 10 posts detailing the reasons you are wrong?
Imagine coming into this thread and giving a single fuck about what the sedition trash is being accused of.
There's some people talking about her voice in the twitter thread; she's been on video several times and they are linked.
There's also some less than convincing comparisons; but the pink hat lady also just looks different in different shots.
Or instead of backing down when it's possible you don't know what you're talking about, just double down!
The "accusation" is that her mother was there. That's it. It's not anything you can be sued for saying
Ya'll talking about like it's some vast conspiracy and shit. In my state, it's unlawful for police to detain or delay a legislator if they're on the way to vote. It might even be more vague than that.
I'm sure something similar is in place in DC and these idiots are probably using something like that to circumvent the security.

The accusation isnt just that she was there. It's that she was on the bullhorn directing people on how to take the capitol building using inside information of the layout inside. Speaking of not knowing what you're talking about.
That was a private citizen suing corporations, not a private citizen being sued for defamation. Also he (or rather his family) lost the only case that wasn't settled out of court. So it's actually evidence contrary to your point.
"These metal detectors are absolutely thespian! They're errudite, gregarious, catawumpus, and collywobbled!!!"
TIL knowing what words mean isn't essential to using them.
