    Note that this is not about the rape that he committed. Or about the identity theft that he committed - This is an entirely different case. It just happens that he is also guilty of rape and identity theft, but there’s no need to mention the raping and scamming when discussing this particular case.

      Okay so when you are saying he raped someone your talking about the charge he got for sharing a video of him having sex with a 17 year old at age 18? Guys a piece of shit and shouldn’t have shared that or filmed it. But every state has laws pertaining to what is considered consensual when they are around the same age.

      Or are you talking about yet another case this person somehow to up to while doing everything else wrong

      Is she not still in office?

      A US rep doesn’t have that much pull. A US senator has so much more. Plus boebert almost lost at least one of her last elections if I recall, she will probably be out by next year if she’s still in already.

          I am getting a polling average of 51 to 48, in her favor, with the probability of her winning at 61 percent but it doesn’t explain the methadology behind that at votehub.com and I am skeptical of that. Probably betting markets they report on without even an explanation.

          But from another site, she has underperformed the polls every time, and it’s gotten worse through time.

          Edit: copied wrong part of article, here is what I meant:
          'First consider that Boebert is a serial underachiever at the polls, and her performance has worsened every cycle.

          At the time of her first campaign in the 3rd Congressional District in the 2020 election, the district leaned right by roughly 13 points, but she beat her Democratic opponent by just 7 points. When she ran for reelection in 2022, the redrawn 3rd District favored Republicans by 9 points, but Boebert’s 546-vote victory margin made that House race the closest in the country.

          For the 2024 race she fled the 3rd District for the safer electoral prospects of the 4th, which was drawn with a practically insurmountable 27-point Republican advantage. Indeed, she beat Democratic challenger Trisha Calvarese by 12 points, but that superficially strong win came with a spread that squandered more than half of the district’s built-in boost.

          Boebert’s electoral trajectory over the last six years suggests further mediocrity in November.’

          https://coloradonewsline.com/2026/02/06/impossible-is-possible-lauren-boeberts/

          So her most conservative district in the state in the eastern plains of colorado will likely remain with her, but it’s a toss up unless you credit probabilities given with no methodology, unless you count a 50 page pdf with no real table of contents.

    Apparently rape doesn’t count if you’re a rich white boy. Nice work, America.
