I’ve never heard a penis called a “controversy” before.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I am glad I’m not the only one whose brain added and R in there.
She could stroke mine, I’m a big fan of GILFs.
I read that as "stroking" and it still worked
this is the 3rd or 4th time I've said this on lemmy - but I cannot understand how she faced absolutely zero consequences from exposing herself and heavy rubbing in a crowded theatre.
Ideally that wouldn't be a crime unless they were involving someone nearby involuntary (potentially just as a witness). Usually if people get frisky just ask them to leave and leave it at that - we don't need more people on the sexual offenders list.
That, at least, is the standard I'd like evenly applied.
It's also like she has done enough political nonsense that her giving a handy way back, to her overage bf in a bowling alley or whatever is kind of a non issue at this point. You can now point to a bunch of public reasons why she should not be a political leader, regardless of her sexual proclivities of the past or present.
It was a night vision camera so it's debatable if there was consequential exposure

Oh good I'm not the only one. I mean c'mon.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But as Boebert desperately fights to keep her congressional career alive, the MAGA firebrand will need to dispel concerns about her controversial behavior – and accusations of carpetbagging – as she tries to convince voters in an entirely new district that she is best suited to represent a rural seat in eastern Colorado.
Boebert says the decision to relocate was based on personal reasons – namely, wanting a fresh start following a messy and public divorce – and not politically motivated, though the move undoubtedly better positioned her re-election chances.
The move provided a big and unexpected boost for Boebert, who had sent a letter to the committee before the meeting imploring them not to tip the scales by tapping someone who was also planning to run in the primary.
But even though it’s a reliable Republican seat, having Trump’s endorsement is not enough to carry a candidate over the finish line, according to a GOP strategist familiar with the district, which is heavily populated with ranchers and farmers who see agriculture policy as a top priority.
Aside from Trump, she also has the support of Speaker Mike Johnson, who hosted a fundraiser for the congresswoman earlier this year and has made an effort to protect embattled incumbents in primaries, according to a source familiar with the event.
While Boebert has publicly feuded with other Republican lawmakers – including GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene – she has found close allies inside the Freedom Caucus.
The original article contains 1,560 words, the summary contains 244 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
What? It's she attending another family musical?
If she and Margarine Failure Gangrene had an Onlyfans together, they could clean up on MAGA views. Then they could retire from public office and leave it to the grown ups,
But they wouldn't. They have an insatiable need for the spotlight.
