10 bucks says that as soon as her political career goes tit's-up, she goes tit's-out on OF...

- I think she starts with the pundit route first, taking on less and less prestigious media outlets.
  
  Then she releases a sex tape and tries to build a reality TV career.

  Fuck this is so mired in reality it's depressing.

  Is that the palin route? Or was it just sex tapes by actresses parodying her?

  Starts on a public speaking tour, ends up touring as a feature dancer at Deja Vus across the nation.

- While it would be better for America if she never held office again, she's still young as far as a career politics and clearly shopping for power wherever she can find it. I'm guessing she'll try for smaller office somewhere. City Council maybe Mayor of some really red small city.

- That’s not even a gamble. That’s almost guaranteed.

- Her old sugar daddy meet profile will get put back up.

I’m sure it’s not her first embarrassing finish.

She’s usually really good on poles, what’s the problem?

36
- Wrong type of pole
  
  7
- She clearly didn’t vape enough.

That's your main take-away from this article? Criticizing an African-American for using some African-American Vernacular English?

20
- I wouldn't even call that African American vernacular. The only word I see there that looks strange is 'y'all' and that's more like Southern vernacular. This is tame stuff as far as language goes.

  Nah, we're taking y'all back as a gender neutral replacement for "you guys"
  
  I use it in a professional setting now even.
  
  Strangely, it keeps everyone happy, no one has ever object to y'all and it's grammatically perfect.

  "Bobo gonna try" I think the main part that falls into AAVE. A more standard English form would be like, "Bobo is gonna try." But AAVE will often drop the auxiliary verbs from phrases. Another example would be "I seen you" instead of "I've seen you."

- Is that the case? Because I conjured an image of a white southerner. I lived in Tennessee for a while, so this seemed natural to me.

- L take, it was criticizing the use of “Bobo” and general patterns of writing that aren’t fit for a political analysis. Also, the writer of this article is white.

  The person whose tweets are being quoted is US Representative Jasmine Crockett
  
  Texas Democratic Rep Jasmine Crockett remarked early on Monday morning, “Before I go to bed, I thought it would only be fitting to send ‘thoughts & prayers’ to my colleague, Lauren Boebert. It’s my understanding that she placed 5th in her first straw poll of the election cycle.”
  
  She continued, “Now how many of y’all think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls don’t matter… of course unless they are trash for Biden & great for Trump!”

  You are only allowed to do political analysis if you sound like you came from the same factory that made all the other commentators.

Useful idiot discovers she's not useful anymore.

15
- She is still an idiot,though.

Do you think that now she would finally be embarrassed?

I don’t Think that If having someone Grab her boobs while she rubs his crotch in a crowded theater and seeing it on national television didn’t do it, nothing will.

7
- People like her and MTG and Trump don't have empathy and are incapable of feeling shame.
  
  6
- Funny thing is I don't think its that bad. Its just the hypocrisy and crazy shit she does and says that makes it so much worse

I know she's absolutely terrible... But I still kinda want to fuck her. Does that make me a bad person?

5
- No, I would too. I have a thing for assholes.

  This is comedy gold.

Who's (OP) disconnected concern is for grammar instead of the content of the article?

Only 117 votes total?

If the GOP wants, they can swoop in and pay a small number of people to vote her to the top. Mind you, I don't know that the GOP actually wants her to continue on the national stage?

3
- That’s a pretty impressive number of HJs

  Actual footage of a Boebert campaign meeting (SFW video, NSFW audio)
  
  1
- I’d let her pay me to vote for her. I mean I still wouldn’t actually vote for her but I’d let her pay me.
  
  2
So if she loses the primary for that seat, is she allowed to run in another district? Or is it too late at that point?

2
- Most likely too late, but rules don't matter for GOP folks apparently so who knows.

Texans speak like that. Which makes sense since A Democratic congresswoman said it.
