Boebert is very blond in her escort profile.

Checks out.

Boebert - actually runs for office and wins.

Blackmail was suggested as the reason for the donation Cruz made to her campaign.

Because they aren't saying she was a prostitute, they are alleging she was an escort. And CO has a law requiring that escorts be licensed, which is cited on that page. Now lets be real, I'm betting if someone is paying good money to be escorted by her it is not for the scintillating conversation. But different strokes and all that.

Here is the site: https://www.fireboebert.com/boebertabortions

Pictures that are supposedly of her are on there too. I can't tell if they are her or not.

If they have done this and they are wrong they need sued into oblivion. And I'm with Trail, the methods of these guys are pretty sleazy and distasteful. I'd much rather she be voted out for being a moron and bad representative.

Interesting re: the registration requirement, but it still reads weird. The implication they are pretty clearly trying to make is that she was a hooker. Right or wrong the common perception of “escort” is “prostitute” so outing her as an escort seems like mission accomplished. But, whatever. I’m happy to leave it to the pros.

this is the part i'm ambivalent about. on the one hand, she seems like a garbage human being and i'm not too proud to admit some schadenfreude. on the other hand, i'd really like justice to be delivered through the courts and judgement at the ballot box - she's ignorant and dangerous and that ought to be enough.

here's a PAC we know next to nothing about, who are literally called "muckrakers," who have decided to torpedo a target for whatever reason. who's next, and why?

On that exact tension, I'm having a hard time fully enjoying this while simultaneously holding the view that the right to an abortion is an example of the constitutionally protected right to privacy. The schadenfreude is winning but it's leaving a bitter taste.

I wonder how many never opt in and prostitute themselves?

Can't imagine that always opting out keeps you working as an escort for very long?

Sure, I get that. But, I don’t think their target audience is going to understand or care much about that distinction.

MR: she was a paid escort.

Deplorables: oh, ok.

MR: but she was unlicensed.

Deplorables: WHAT? BURN HER!

I don’t see the above happening. Assuming it’s a true allegation I would simply put it out there that she was a paid escort working with sugardaddymeets etc. If she wants to spin the, yes, but I was a legal escort distinction then let her bring it up. If she does she confirms at least part of what they allege and lends credibility to the remainder. That would also be the time to raise the unlicensed issue. Because a legit, legal escort that totally wasn’t a prostitute would have license right Lauren?

Well of course that's going to happen if you go with the unregistered escort. Duh.

I could be wrong; I worked with dancers, mostly. If there were any escorts around, I couldn't tell, nor do I remember any that stand out [you'd probably see the same person time after time with different "dates" if what is depicted on TV/in movies is accurate]

I listened to a podcast story about a girl (the story was actually about her drug addiction) who was working as an escort and seemed to be suffering under the delusion that she wasn't a prostitute. One of her sugar daddy's flew her to the city where he lived to party and I guess at some point she told him she wasn't going to have sex with him. So he kicked her out of his house with no money (and no more drugs) and no plane ticket back home. You'd think that might have burst her illusion of what she was actually being paid for.

Doesn't their track record just consist of Cawthorn? I'm really not a fan of some of what they did with Cawthorn. What we already knew about Cawthorn was more than enough that voters should know he's unfit to serve as a Congressman. Maybe the end (Cawthorn getting primaried) justifies the means. I don't know.

But this group is pretty slimy. Even the Lincoln Project has some slime to it, but this group turns the dial up a few more notches.

When we are talking about turning the notch up on slimy I think it goes both ways.

I'm 100% just speculating, but there may be Escort Agencies/Firms would provide "beards" for high-paying gay clients* who are not out, so they can attend very visible events with someone on their arm

Sex would most likely be off the table in that situation

Zero tension on my end. She deserves all the shit she's getting. I don't care if her life circumstances led her to being an escort. I don't know her life, what she went through etc. I'm not judging her for that. I'm not judging her for 2 abortions either. Same thing. Her body, her choice.

However, I'm absolutely judging her for her FYIGM attitude towards people in possibly the same predicaments. She had the choice between learning from her life situation to be more understanding and compassionate, or making a quick buck off the backs of people who need help. She's deserving of all this shit. She brought it on herself.

Though the information is getting increasingly sketchy to me.

In the screenshot of texts on the website (fireboebert.com) on page 2 of the document linked in this thread there's an image from the "source" purported to be Boebert's escort profile shot.

It's almost certainly not. It's an image used in this DailyMail expose of Melissa Carone in 2020. (not my sleuthing, came from other sites)

Oh, I just checked fireboebert.com again, and that part of the text stream has been removed since I looked yesterday. Sketchy.

There's some chance this is all bogus.

No doubt... there's a greater chance that it won't make a difference.

She's a garbage dump of a human, but a worse congressional rep. I give her shit because she says some of the dumbest things. But we all need to add the following: Being investigated for fraud. Broke campaign finance laws. Says racist/Islamophobic crap. Called another member (one that didn't assist with 1/6) a terrorist. Contributed to stoking the lies of 1/6 and voted with Sedition Caucus. Was howler monkey #2 at the State of the Union. Congress has not passed a single bill she has sponsored. Useless except as a voice of stupidity in culture wars of her own creation.

We will see what the good people of CO-3 do on a week from Tuesday (June 28th). May she have her ass handed to her by Coram, but I doubt she will.

I share a healthy bit of doubt on the whole of the story, and there may be some back pedaling, but one thing about the story rings true... Ted Cruz ain't getting laid unless he's paying for it.

Suffer Well.

However I find it comical how to trash a lefty on this forum it has to be information from a moderate, credible, main stream news site. But the rules dont apply to trashing a righty (she is an extreme example though). Kudos to those admitting this may not be credible (even though I would not be surprised to find it true). And by no means am I defending Boebert, she is an embarrassment.

Carry on...

I don't think she got elected with any regard for her social media presence. I think she and the other deplorables have ramped up their online trolling since being elected in an attempt to stay in the headlines and thus relevant. Because honestly, if it weren't for the stupid shit she, MTG and others were putting out there, you wouldn't know who they are.

It's the Trump era playbook. As long as she's getting attention and sticking to the libs, she stays in favor with her core base. Also as with Trump, I don't think it's a good long term strategy. But that depends entirely on the character of her district.

The far left is gonna far left. And the far right is gonna far right. The point is to keep them there, and out of the mainstream. Congress is too "mainstream". White House is too mainstream. I realize the House has always been a place that can reward ideological extremism (more than the Senate, governorships, etc, where typically some adulting is in order). But still.
