Lauren Boebert (CO-DERP)

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is demanding that a parody website "cease and desist" operation because it is "defamatory" to the congresswoman.

Comedy writer Toby Morton revealed on Twitter that he had been contacted by the lawmaker's press secretary.

"Jake is the Press Secretary for @laurenboebert," Morton wrote. "Lauren told Jake to use his government email to send me a cease and desist order to take down my website, http://TheLaurenBoebert.com. Jake is not a lawyer. Jake is an idiot."

14. Maybe when Congresswoman "Bobo" loses her re-election bid...

...Jake the Snake could find gainful employment elsewhere. Perhaps as a...
- Used car sales rep;
- Retail-store clerk at a Colorado legal-cannabis outlet;
- Custodian at a local Greyhound bus depot, in charge of cleaning restrooms; or
- Telemarketer, cold-calling for some insurance company, real estate agent, or other small (tiny) business.

The world is full of opportunities for this dude. But, perhaps not this particular world...

Wonder if he can move back in with his parents.

2. Free publicity for his website

9. I had to look at this website also

12. Couldn't resist... until I ran into a warning screen

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.congressmangaetz.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details."

Having had my personal information hacked previously, I tend to err on the side of caution.
Pity!
Because -- as a Florida resident -- I was so looking forward to seeing what was posted about Congressman(!) Gaetz.

Has anyone here been so bold as to disregard the warning? And was it worth the risk?

5. It doesn't do anything

Just like her.

6. Nunes got shot down in his attempt to sue the Cow in his nightmares for the Cow's

accurate depiction of Nunes' incompetence.

Jun 25, 2020 · Congressman lashes out at parody cow Twitter account 02:10 (CNN) California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes cannot sue Twitter over allegedly defamatory remarks made about him by satirical accounts...

Boebert is simply demonstrating her incompetence for all to see. Pathetic.

7. Why the long face, Lauren?

Is your thin skin tearing?

8. Conservatives are too stupid to understand satire or to have a sense of humor

That is why there are no funny conservatives on the comedy circuit and why Fox News has flopped each and every time Fox attempts to do a comedy show

[Caliman73]

10. Agreed.

Another aspect of comedy is to be able to laugh at yourself and to understand and convey the absurdity of everyday existence. Jerry Seinfeld, for his flaws, was very good at that before he became too self important.

Conservatives can rarely if ever, admit that they are wrong about anything, therefore, their "comedy" is always very defensive and never self aware.

Comedians like Chris Rock, Cedric the Entertainer, George Lopez, and Gabriel Iglesias talk about being Black or Latino, respectively and they use certain stereotypes, however, their comedy comes from personal experience and they connect with their audience on shared experience. People like Jeff Foxworthy and Craig Shoemaker do that with respect to certain segments of the White experience too.

Conservative comedians just seem to punch down, all the time, and that is not really funny in any sense of the word.

11. All of those images are campaign or social media related. None are from the federal govt

[AllaN01Bear]

13. and satire is protected free speach dont ya know

[Warpy]

15. HAHAHA! "This Website is Parody."

He even spells it out clearly at the bottom. She's got less of a leg to stand on than Devin Nunes did, which is probably why she's too cheap to hire a lawyer, that and the metal detector avoidance fines are mounting up.

I really hope she and that other waste of skin MTG are gone in 2023.

16. It's pretty well done and seems to cover all bases.
