I got a little angry thinking about this, so I'm back again. I want people to see how *comfortable* certain members of other racial minorities feel in their anti-Blackness (these I liken to anti-Black Black folks; the "weak links.") Think of the people she curries favor with spewing this garbage!
All groups have quislings, and when they sign on to modern American conservatism, please see that anti-Blackness is a major component. They feel comfortable doing this because the spaces in which they walk are hostile to Black people. And they feel they'll also be safe if they join in rhetorically beating on us.
I see other people saying the same thing I was going to say - she doesn't talk like a Christian. Between my family and acquaintances, I know easily 10-12 women who are truly Conservative Christians. Not one-single-one of them uses the N word, with or without the R at the end.
My take is that she postures with foul language to seek admittance to a world that doesn't want her there. As a Honduran, most of MAGA world is pre-disposed to hate her. The entire thing is a bit tawdry and sad.
You know, long ago, I promised to take my daughter to see Chuck Berry in St. Louis as soon as she was 21 and could get into a bar; Chuck died a few months too soon.
Miss Boltinhouse suffered from the same timing problem. If she were a few years older, she would have been Miss North Carolina under the Trump regime and none of her racist language would have counted against her.
I haven't told anyone this my entire life because it is the opposite of who I am today. As a late teen I modeled. I then went on to 1 beauty pageant. You are held to a different set of standards and there is zero tolerance in tarnishing the crown. Recall Vanessa Williams? You signed contracts and NDAs. They owned you.
Anyhoo, those girls/women were incredibly self centered and jealous for the most part. Many were on the circuit and it was a job to them. There was no bonding or forming relationships it was knives and nails out. I would think it would be worse today with so many narcissists and racist assholes in the world.
Which is why I have never told anyone. As a late teen I didn't have the tools to navigate those dynamics. I am from a small town and didn't know the ways of the world then.
The last paragraph is so on point. Even when there is some token of accountability for being a shitty person, in the long run, they're just going to win more. What a country.
Lauren Boebert’s adult son Tyler arrested on child sexual exploitation charges while awaiting his fate for other crimes
.
Tyler was arrested Sunday, Aug. 9, on charges of child sexual exploitation of a child to induce or entice, sexual exploitation of a child, possession with intent, sexual exploitation of a child involving video and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to court records; he was released the same day
I am being very unrealistic here - but could Lauren be arrested as well for allowing her son to be a pervert? Like some parents have been convicted of allowing their mass-murderer children to have guns?
I saw it in the theaters...the DVD it was cut about a ½ hour.
At the end they turned off every lights for 60 seconds. And in complete darkness and silence, you had to remember people that "loved you and made you who you are. Think about them"
Think about that. To be silent, close your eyes for 60 seconds and think about the people that loved you and made you who you are.

"I'm a toxic as fuck Godly woman, n***a!!"
She seems nice. She is definitely in the correct political party for her level of mental vacuousness.
Dump on blathering about autism and vaxxes. New "gold standard" EO on "childhood vaccinations."
ETA: They now want the MMR to be separated out and given in 3 separate vaxxes. Seaprate visits, seaprate times.
Five separate visits for the vaccines.
They are putting more fucking money into pockets of the pharma companies.
She's Honduran-Mexican, so it surprises me that these shitty right-wing racists would take her side rather than demanding ICE deport her.
“Why not both?”

There is nothing remotely "Christian" about any Republican born after 1920.

perpetual victimhood is the mark of belonging to today's Republican Party, nao indistinguishable from today's "beauty pageant industry"
Weird, she doesn't TALK like a God-fearing Conservative Christian woman!
She talks like a Republican christianistic nationalist -- that is, dumb and correctly self-hating.
Working undercover to expose the real racists in the pageant game.
Christ what a racist asshole.

I can't imagine. Sound de-humanizing.

A literal meat market. :(
Its and it is degrading.
But…but….but the scholarships!!!! The charity work!!! The public service announcements!!!!
To some it was going after a scholarship since they couldn't afford it any other way. I walked away with a whole new view of that part of the world

The acorn never falls far from the tree.

As an adult he's on his own.
A crime sometimes called "Luring." Oh Tyler, you gotta stop digging.
(deadpan)
Gee, what a surprise. Shocked, shocked, I say . . .
A pale imitation of the Palins, but they're giving it a try.
Duggars, Huckabees . . .
Fristians
(Fake Christians)
Same people, different family.
the party of fumbly values?
And not a drag queen in sight.
She'll have to wear a blonde wig if she wants to work for FOX. Maybe Trump can help her find one.
OMG. The wig pics are hilarious
OT.
Buy that documentary of Mr Rogers.

Do it now. You will laugh and cry.
If you don't believe me. Do it. For 60 seconds.

Christ often referred to his disciples this way.
