Rep. Lauren Boebert is blaming Hollywood for her decision to switch congressional districts.
“We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert told Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast on Saturday.
“There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado’s 3rd District is not for sale,” she continued.
Boebert then named the stars, who she said were backing her rivals.
“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress,” Boebert told Bannon.
“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress,” Boebert told Bannon.
Go on. What does it mean when the Kochs and Harlan Crow come in and donate to the Republican, Lauren?
And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids with your $3000!"
I dunno, Lauren, I think they might just hate you. Specifically.
Mfw the actual Barbara Streisand comes in and intensifies the Streisand effect:
“Do not cite the Streisand Effect to me! I was there when it was written.”
Sorry, the Streisand has been summoned:

Can’t win my current district, this $3000 dollar donation is proof that there is 10 million in dark money behind my rival - couldn’t be me getting caught jerking off some random guy at a play for kids
Anyone still supporting her after that has got to be blind and deaf
Oh you naive fool, so many congressional elections come down to $3000 from two Hollywood celebrities.
In fact, every time a Republican loses in a congressional election, you’ll likely find two Hollywood celebrities with one $1500 donation each behind the reason.
or they just want to take her to beetlejuice, too
She is a GILF I tell you what.
“girl I’d love to fart on”?
I bet you her farts smells like red meat.
That sounds unhealthy.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been brought up yet, but obligatory reminder that “Hollywood Elites” is a dogwhistle that means “Jews.” It’s antisemitic.
I don’t know if Lauren knows that, but I’m sure she knows her supporters say that shit and doesn’t care what baggage such a phrase comes with.

She’s just parroting other conservatives when she says this shit. She doesn’t really know anything. She’s legitimately the dumbest person in Congress. It’s not even close. Gosar is the dumbest doctor but still a doctor. Tuberville at least knows how to coach college football, for what that’s worth. And MTG is probably twice as smart as Boebert, which still makes MTG the second dumbest person in Congress.

Russians and racists and Nationalist Christians
Oh my
So that makes the Nationalist Christians… checks notes… Bears.
I’m unsure of who to Beetlejuice here: Takei or Tormund. 🤪
Is her plan to move to a district outside of the jurisdiction of citizens united?
Isn’t that some form of irony too? Complaining about people getting involved in elections outside of the area they live… And then running in a different district? Fucking carpetbagger.
it’s going to be interesting when blaming Streisand effect …triggers the Streisand effect and even more people discover just how dumb she is. because by bitching about… well you understand.
What it could do is show rich educated Democrats that they can accomplish something when they donate and show up
I’m looking at you, people who are hard headed and tech savvy enough to navigate the fediverse.
uhh those conservative democrats like everything exactly the way it is, which is why the struggle so hard to conserve it by not actually accomplishing much… ya know, like when obama and clinton took a giant dump all over bernie and then wondered why they lost.
democrats are still playing the old, conservation game. republicans have moved on to straight what-can-we-get-away-with-fascism
and that leaves the general american public and the actually terrible ‘economy’ with fucking nothing.
You mean like get Biden reelected so nothing “changes” and we continue this slow slide into fascism?
Centrist democrats are the new conservatives. Republicans have shifted into regressionists- which is why they’re so concerned with deregulation and controlling women’s bodies, etc.
It’s either that or Trump, which is basically just a full swan-dive into fascism. Is there another viable path?
All this really does is just lower the bar for future candidates. If every vote is either fascism or the current state of affairs, fascism is eventually going to win due to apathy
Right, fascism is all the fault of Democrats and not the fascists. /s
Did… I say that it was?
No. I didn’t.
I may not have explicitly said this… but the point that you clearly are either ignoring (my assumption) or just didn’t get… is that Biden is not doing enough to stop fascism. which is why, under his leadership the US is continuing to slide to fascism.
You don’t win fights- be they full on battles, street brawls, or figurative fights- simply with falling back and staying defensive. if you want to win- if you want to defeat fascism- you’re going to have to hit back. in politics, this means going to the opposite end, that is to say, by pushing progressive policies over the regressive policies of the fascists.

Nothing changes? Are you insane or just a cynical jackass? Have you even been paying attention?
yeah. have you been paying attention?
- Economy sucks for average americans. While the economy is “strong”… that’s not translating to gains for normal people. that’s all going straight to record profit and fat bonuses. the trend of increasing numbers of americans living pay check to paycheck has only increased- and indeed accelerated- under Biden’s policies. While the fundamental causes are not his fault, per se, and there’s limits on what a president can do… the fact is, he keeps trotting this out as a good thing, and he’s full of shit. Suffice it to say, he’s not done enough.
- He’s done more harm to stalling climate change than good. He personally made the decision to allow the Willow Project to go forward, for example. Under his leadership, Oil production is reaching record setting highs… and he’s released more oil from the strategic reserve than all other presidents combined. (and before you trot out the BBP stuff, realize that most of that is tax breaks for things corporations were going to do anyhow, or subsidizing EV’s so manufacturers like tesla could get away with selling cars that are substantially overpriced… aka corporate profits. same goes for the jump to 40% renewable energy… that’s not anything he’s done, specifically.)
- fascism is increasingly on the rise. We have a bonafide insurrectionist *who almost succedded in over throwing Biden’s presidency… still free. it took Biden’s administration over two and a half years to get extremely sensitive secrets back… and they’re still missing some of the most sensitive secrets. it took over two years for them to finally get a proper investigation, nearly three years for them to start indictments on things we all knew were crimes.
- Civil Liberties… are being attacked and he’s sitting around with his thumb up his ass. Abortion, LGBTQ rights, education. On a federal level, he’s done fuck all to defend it. most of the gains (for example, Ohio) are being won despite his leadership.
- equality in criminal justice is still massive problem. I don’t think I’ve seen fuck all from that. his adminstration doesn’t seem to have cared so much, except in token gestures- that while meaningful to the people they help, could have been done on day one. (the mass pardon of pot charges, for example,)
- similarly, he could have ordered DoJ to focus on white collar/corporate crimes, as well as going after domestic terrorism. before they get to shoot up election polling places next year…
This is referred to as the Streisand Paradox, wherein one blames Barbra Streisand for something, thereby triggering the Streisand Effect. 
This is different, of course, than mentioning Streisand and Cloony together, which produces The Perfect Streistorm.

So she thinks she’s owed a job in a public office? I bet she thinks people who receive welfare are entitled.
Tell her Citizen’s United makes it possible for the “elites” to do this.
You’d probably end up having to explain citizens united to her during your handjob.
Her sandpapery lizard hand hj should be banned as cruel and unusual punishment by the UN if it hasn’t been already.
Ew, why would anyone jerk off Trollbert? Do you want wet leprosy?
Genius move.
Really? She’s calling out Barbara Streisand and Ryan Reynolds? Has Streisand or Reynolds given a guy a handy in a crowded theater with children in view? Well, Reynolds maybe, but Babs is pure!
I blame the collapse of the U.S. education system for incentivising an even dumber district where this queen of hatred and awful can be safer.
I blame the collapse of education for her ever being a serious contender for a seat in any legislature at any level. This woman is NOT qualified oversee a bakesale, let alone govern.
Is Barbara Streisand in the room with us right now?

It’s totally dark money and not the fact that she’s a total rube
Also, so donations are ok if they’re for Republicans but not for Democrats? MmHmm.
Yeah deffo had nothing to do with acting like an entitled shit stain while getting sexy time in a fucking movie theatre as a fucking government representative.
A move, I will remind you all, somehow sunk peewee Herman’s fucking career and he went to a fucking PORN THEATRE MEANT FOR THE SHIT.
She was actually at a live stage production of Beetlejuice the Musical.
Jesus Christ lmao
She’s just salty because it turns out those two Hollywood phonies had a taser. And they tased her in the butthole. She fell to the ground but the phonies didn’t let up. Her butthole was on fire.
You can’t trust the system, man.
YOU CAN’T BUY ME, HOT DOG MAN!
