Lauren Boebert

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was ridiculed for apparently not understanding the process of amending the U.S. Constitution.

The newly elected Colorado Republican insisted the Constitution shouldn't be revised, which, of course, Congress has done 27 times in a process laid out by the founding document -- and Boebert herself has co-sponsored an amendment that would subject lawmakers to term limits.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) appeared at a virtual meeting for the House Natural Resources Committee Thursday with shelves of weapons behind her.

It was something her colleague Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) noticed, saying that her biggest concern when doing a Zoom call is piles of dishes in her kitchen.

Trump-loving Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on Tuesday was quickly drowned in mockery after she endorsed a false claim by Fox News host Tucker Carlson about windmills being to blame for power outages across the state of Texas.

Writing on Twitter, Boebert approvingly shared a video clip of Carlson blaming frozen wind turbines for the power outages, despite the fact that the outages were caused by a combination of a spike in demand and outages at energy plants that use multiple sources of energy, not just wind.

A conservative commentator bashed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for trying to have it both ways on former president Donald Trump's impeachment.

The Bulwark writer-at-large Tim Miller appeared on The Daily Beast's 'New Abnormal' podcast, where he said the Kentucky Republican was worse than "sociopath" Sen. Ted Cruz or Qanon-adjacent Rep. Lauren Boebert.

In 2017, Dr. Judith Herman and I stated in The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President: "Power not only corrupts but also magnifies existing psychopathologies, even as it creates new ones."

We warned of an authoritarian cult of personality and growing contempt for the rule of law, which would spread throughout the culture unless stopped. Donald Trump's presidency was dangerous not because of his individual afflictions but his capacity, as president, to amplify and exacerbate society's defects, especially if he faced no accountability.

On Saturday, the Associated Press quoted a Republican strategist and former lawmaker from Western Colorado who suspects Rep. Lauren Boebert may soon wear out her welcome with voters in the area — even the sort of white, rural voters who have swung sharply to the right in the Trump era.

"There are very real limits to that shtick in rural Colorado, which is why she only won with 51 percent," said the strategist, Josh Penry. "When the sizzle wears off, there are big blocs of voters who will be totally up for grabs and will want to know that their congresswoman is trying to be part of the solution in between cable news show hits."

HBO "Real Time" host Bill Maher blasted QAnon and Christianity on his Friday evening show.

"New rule, as long as we're going to go through the trouble of another impeachment trial, we might as well be honest about what it's really about. The events of January 6th were a faith-based initiative," Maher said. "And Trumpism is a Christian nationalist movement that believes Trump was literally sent from heaven to save them."

Two weeks into Joe Biden's presidency, Republicans are lamenting the fact that Democrats now control the White House and both branches of Congress — and the latest Pollapalooza released by FiveThirtyEight won't give them any reason for optimism. Pollapalooza, a weekly polling roundup, finds that eight well-known Republicans in Congress have poor favorability ratings.

FiveThirtyEight came up with a polling average for the eight Republicans by combining the results of new Morning Consult/Politico, YouGov/The Economist and SurveyMonkey/Axios polls. And the Republicans are broken down into three groups: "controversial freshmen" (Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina), "better-known Trump allies" (Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy) and "Republicans who have broken with Trump" (Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming).

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) paid off nearly $20,000 in state tax liens that had accumulated on her restaurant since 2016 less than two weeks before she was elected to Congress, Colorado Newsline reports.

Shooters Grill, the gun-themed restaurant owned by Boebert, accumulated eight liens for nonpayment of unemployment insurance premiums between 2016 and 2020. By early 2020, the restaurant owed the state $19,552.86. According to Garfield County records obtained by Newsline, three of the liens totaling $553.50, were paid off. The remaining five liens, totaling $18,999.36, were paid off on Oct. 22, 2020.
