Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert tried to own Vice President Kamala Harris on Twitter yesterday, and the internet was having none of it.
Boebert tweeted, “Kamala Harris knows so little about everything that it’s almost impressive.”

Whatever your views on VP Harris, few can deny her academic background or experience. She graduated from Howard University and the Hastings College of Law at the University of California. She was the District Attorney of San Francisco, and the Attorney General of California, before becoming Senator for California, and then Vice President under Joe Biden.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Boebert dropped out of High School, eventually gaining a GED diploma in 2020, a few months before she first took office.
Online, many were quick to collectively roll their eyes at Boeber’ts latest dumb tweet.
You have got to be kidding that you, of all people, are saying this.
Irony is alive and well.

It’s not clear what prompted Boebeet’s latest tweet against Harris. The Vice President has been in Europe in recent days meeting with US allies to discuss the war in Ukraine.

I don’t think Lauren Boebert is smart by any means, but I also believe that Kamala Harris got to where she is due to affirmative action.

kamala received her degree from howard university, a historically black college. how could it be affirmative action when 95% or more are black. i believe you may be somewhat prejudiced.

Kamala might have an education but she sure doesn’t look like she can put it to any use. Did you see her with the Polish President, cackling “A friend in need, is a friend indeed”? What did that mean?
Chrisk
If that’s the best you right wing trolls can come up with then I’m even more impressed by her.

And that is indicative of stupidity, how?
SamB
Bosch: Did you watch that clip?
Reporter’s question: “And I’m wondering what the United States is going to do more specifically to set up a permanent infrastructure. And relatedly, is the United States willing to make a specific allocation for Ukrainian refugees?”
Kamala’s reply: “Okay. (Laughs.) A friend in need is a friend indeed. (Laughter.)”
Bosch
Yeah, and then she gave a six paragraph answer with specifics. I’m guessing that part isn’t in your little clip?
SamB
Bosch: I’ve watched the full press conference. After she cackles her non answer President Duda took over. Then she basically regurgitated what he said, just not as well.
For example this word salad: “In terms of what we are doing in the United States, we will then take this in terms of what we can do to support and look at those Ukrainians who want to come to the United States. What we’re seeing thus far is large parts of that population who are fleeing Ukraine, who desire to stay in Europe.”
She’s so eloquent.
Bosch
Do you hold everyone’s eloquence to this standard, or are you just sticking it to the libs by perpetuating negative press covfefe?
SamB
Bosch: I’m calling her out because she’s terrible. Lauren might be a nut job as well, but when she’s right, she’s right.
Polaro
Sam, you’re biased perspective is clear. VP Harris is a very smart woman. There was nothing wrong with what the Vice President said…nothing. You just hate her. Yet, she is completely unlike the guffawing buffoon you love. Trump is a vindictive, nasty, illiterate psycho, and you just can’t see it. Boebert is lucky breathing requires no thinking because she as almost as nasty as she is dumb. Do you ever take a step back and ask yourself why you are the way you are? I’m at a loss.

Nothing the right wing, rac-ist troll account hates more than a Black woman speaking up. Yeah, Kamala hasn’t accomplished anything with her education….you know, other than being attorney General for the most populated, wealthiest state in the nation, being elected Senator, and now being VP.
But by all means, keep on trolling.

I love it when the right wing, Trump supporting troll tries to claim it doesn’t love Trump as a defense.
No problem Sammy, how about you and your 15 other screenames stay out of any threads on the Trump family to prove how much you don’t love him, instead of, you know, rushing in to defend them and attacking everyone who points out they’re a family of anti-LGBTQ criminals.

She has been able to put her education to use.
But you think otherwise because of a single line in a press conference which you couldn’t repeat without interjecting sexist language.
SamB
Cowboy: Not a single line, the whole press conference was a bust. A lot of words but 90% unnecessary. She meandered, looked spooked. You can like her but still admit she is not shining. I personally think she never really shines.
Eternal.Cowboy
You exemplify why politics are such a mess.
I never said I liked her or anything like that. I didn’t vote for her in the primary and I was disappointed with her being chosen for VP. That said my, my issues with her are based on policy and me being uneasy with her support for law enforcement as it is practice in the U.S. Despite my disagreements with her I can still recognize that she is an educated and smart person.
For whatever reason the right in this country has abandoned policy and policy discussions in favor of personal attacks. Boebert’s tweet is simply meant to inflame. Your comment was the same. You picked a single line from a press conference and used that as your bases for saying she doesn’t use her education. Now you are expanding it to the entire press conference as if that legitimizes your claim.
What is particularly ironic is that you specifically are saying she doesn’t use her education. You consistently make things up, things that are easily verifiable as false.
SamB
Cowboy: I’m being a little tongue-in-cheek. Obviously she has an education behind her and she has climbed her way up to become VP. She has a lot of ambition but she didn’t necessarily get to where she is with her book smarts alone. Plus if she was so accomplished then it’s even more disheartening to see her flub her way through interviews and speeches.
I can’t respect her because when she was on stage, hoping to get the Presidential nomination she went ALL OUT for Biden, fundamentally accusing him of segregation. And later she said she believed his accusers…. then nothing. All is fine and they’re best friend running mates. Is he no longer a segregationist? Does she no longer believe his accusers? That proves that she has no moral compass and is untrustworthy.
Eternal.Cowboy
So you have gone from criticisms based on a single line in a speech, to the whole speech shows she doesn’t to uses her education to a whole news list of complaints. It’s with noting that she is by means the only politician to criticize someone only to act like it didn’t happen. Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham are both notable examples but despite having both been covered extensively here you haven’t said a peep about either on that front. That isn’t to say the behavior you are talking about isn’t incredibly obnoxious, it is, but you certainly apply that criteria selectively. It does give the impression that either it doesn’t actually matter to you or that you are willing to look past it when it suits you. You come off as just desperate to be critical of Harris and for some reason you want to go after her personally rather than policy. I feel like the sexist language in your initial comment probably gives us an indication why she has been singled out for this.
SamB
Cowboy: There is no need for me to adding “Right! I agree Ted Cruz shouldn’t have gone on vacation during the Texas winter storm!” EVERYONE commented like that and that was the point of the article. There is no point in commenting on the obvious or else you get 100 “I agree!”
And what sexist language did I use?

Awww, the right wing troll is still trying to deflect off of Homophobic, uneducated Boebert, first onto Harris, and now arguing and subtly defending Ted Cruz.
We get it, you can’t actually defend Republicans, so you try your little dodgeball game. As always, your troll game is sad and weak.

“Cackling”. Though not a gender specific word people almost use it exclusively for women. Similar to “shrill”. Women’s vocal presentation is commented in ways that men aren’t. And the words that are used in a negative connotation to describe are reserved almost exclusively for women. It’s a form of implicit bias. Which is to say that you aren’t being blatantly sexist but perpetuating the sexism ingrained in society. It’s the biases we carry and are not conscious of.
SamB
Cowboy: Well, I googled the word: make a harsh, raucous sound when laughing.
I think it fits, do you think she has a pleasant, genteel laugh? A soft giggle? How would you describe it?
Den
“Cackling”?
So amusing to hear a right wing twit parroting the sexist language of his cynical overlords. What is worse, what Harris did (according to right wing soundbites) or the pointless disrespect of the poorly educated and anti-American Bobert during the stat of the union address?
None of you regressives seem to have any idea what buffoons you are.
Den
“For whatever reason the right in this country has abandoned policy and policy discussions in favor of personal attacks.”
Many pundits and authors have commented on this, and all (correctly) give the same reasons. The policy makers in the right are well aware that when surveyed, and when policy questions are stripped of any hint of party affiliation, a significant majority of Americans support the Democratic party legislative agenda. So to counter that the Republican party has eschewed policy statements in favor of culture wars issues, fear mongering and other cynical ways of manipulating their base through fear, confusion and outright lies. Many of the state Republican parties have not even bothered to construct platforms. All they do is whip up fear about non-existent critical race theory, their creepy take on the “LGBT agenda”, and all the socialist-communist-fascist-liberals hiding under everyone’s bed. And if that is not enough, they resort to race baiting and anti-semitism with time honored dog whistles.
Eternal.Cowboy
@SamB
I was pretty clear in my response what the issues is. Focusing on the definition means you either don’t understand what implicit bias is that you don’t think it exists. If it’s the former then I recommend reading about it. A Sociologist will do a much better job explaining it that I did. If it’s the after, then your issue is with Sociology.
SamB
Cowboy: Are you saying that “cackle” meant I thought she sounded like a witch? As in “A witches cackle”? But… she absolutely does cackle. It is LITERALLY a cackle, how should I refer to it? Why can’t I call out her cackle when millions of people called out the personality of attributes of men in politics or who have power. Why is it OK to say Pence is a mama’s boy with his wife but we can’t call out a personality trait that Kamala has? Do you think she’ll collapse and be unable to function if she knows someone thinks her laugh is a cackle? I think she’s got a thicker skin than that.
Bosch
Comparing a Stephen Hawking quote to “live laugh love” is so on brand for you.
Eternal.Cowboy
@SamB
“Are you saying that “cackle” meant I thought she sounded like a witch? As in “A witches cackle”?”
No, I didn’t say anything like that.
“But… she absolutely does cackle. It is LITERALLY a cackle, how should I refer to it? Why can’t I call out her cackle when millions of people called out the personality of attributes of men in politics or who have power.”
The issues isn’t that we call out people in politics for personality attributes. It’s that women get called out, almost exclusively, for certain attributes. Voice is one of those things, how they dress is another. Further there are words that are gender neutral and have largely negative connotations that are reserved for describing women’s voices. Shrill and cackle are two examples of that. On the rare occasion that men’s voice are commented on those words aren’t used.
“Why is it OK to say Pence is a mama’s boy with his wife but we can’t call out a personality trait that Kamala has?”
I have never heard that said about Pence. Anyway, this irrelevant to the point I am making. We are talking about the language you used to talk about Harris and the sexist connotations that language carries. If you feel that there is some sort of inherent bigotry in the way Pence is talked about that is totally a fair discussion but it is a operate discussion from this one.
“Do you think she’ll collapse and be unable to function if she knows someone thinks her laugh is a cackle? I think she’s got a thicker skin than that.”
No I don’t. I would impinge that by virtue of being a woman she has had to deal with sexism her entire life. But a woman’s ability to deal with sexism doesn’t justify the perpetuating sexism and the perpetuation of sexism does cause harm to women at large.
Anyway, you were kinda all over the place there and pulling in some unrelated topics.
Here is the deal. The language we use can expose our unconscious/implicit bias. Implicit bias is well researched and there is a wealth of information and research available on the topic should you want to pursue it. We all carry biases that we are not entirely aware of because they are are so culturally prevalent they seem normal. Where you want to go with that is up to you but this conversation has run it’s course.

Boebert is an anti-American dropout who married a guy who was arrested for exposing himself to young girls.
That is why SamB is desperate to attack Harris. All Republicans can do at this point is to try to deflect from the bigotry, unintelligence, and hatred of their own party.

SamB, like Boebert, are the highest form of political discourse available to the right now. They have no platform, no policy, no ideas, no solution, just more buzzwords and personal attacks.

With the price of gasoline, perhaps for mid-terms we should put those voting dropboxes at gas stations. 🙂

The reasons for the rise in gas prices, as well as world wide inflation have been simply and adequately explained many times. Even the simple minded should be able to understand it. I guess you are either more simple minded than the likes of Bobert, or simply a cynical liar.
I shudder to think what self centered dullard right wingers like you would have done either during the 1918 pandemic or during WWII when sacrifice and community consciousness were required of Americans. You would not have been an asset to your community then and you are not an asset to your community now.

@Den
“The reasons for the rise in gas prices, as well as world wide inflation have been simply and adequately explained many times.” I’m sure they have, but I haven’t heard your explanation.
This past week Obama economic adviser Steve Rattner said that Biden shouldn’t be blaming Russia invading Ukraine for inflation.
He said Biden owns this.
Now another Obama economic adviser, Larry Summers, is blaming Biden for inflation.
Summers, former Obama economist and Clinton Treasury Secretary says President Biden was “WRONG” to blame inflation on Russia’s war in Ukraine. He stated, “It is a consequence, fundamentally, of an overheated economy.”
Biden used to work with these men in the Obama White House.
So please tell me, why are we having a 40 year high inflation rate and exceedingly high gas prices. (This should be good. 🙂 )
Even left-wing Jonathan Karl stated on yesterday’s ABC Sunday morning show, “If you look at the numbers, inflation really started to rise almost exactly when Biden came in the White House.”

Kamala Harris thinks Ukraine is part of NATO. Just when I thought I knew how unqualified she is, she lowers the bar even further.
Unfortunately for Kamala, her recent Eastern Europe trip was an unmitigated disaster, and she made herself look so bad that Ukraine’s former press secretary bluntly stated that “it would be a tragedy” if Harris were to ascend to the presidency.
If her job was to further humiliate the U.S. on the world stage, then mission accomplished.
Den
Provide a specific quote that proves Harris thinks Ukraine is a part of NATO. Stupid comments by Carlson or whoever else’s sphincter your tongue is planted in at the moment don’t count. If you can’t, proudly wear the label of buffoon (everybody already knows you are one).
Keep in mind that Poland, whose borders were undeniably threatened in recent bombings IS a NATO member (or were you aware of that). Also keep in mind that nobody really knows Putin’s long term plans beyond the acknowledgement that he longs for the power and sphere of influence of the old USSR, and the American right is hell bent on getting “the base” to be comfortable with that.
SamB
Den: From the White House transcript of the press conference in Warsaw:
“I’ve said it many times; I will say it again: The United States commitment to Article 5 is ironclad. The United States is prepared to defend every inch of NATO territory. The United States takes seriously that an attack against one is an attack against all. We are here today to restate that commitment, but also do what we must do to reinforce our support of Poland and our Allies through the EU and NATO Alliance.”
If she was referring to Poland in the first part of her statement, why did she use “but” when referring to Poland in the second part?
SamB
Den: A statement by Kamala after she returned from Poland:
“The United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people in defense of the NATO alliance,” Harris told a gathering of the Democratic National Committee in Washington D.C. Saturday. “The ocean that separates us will not leave us untouched by this aggression.”

Gee, I’m shocked to learn Boebert is a moron (ironic comment). Queerty can be tedious in its repetitive focus on a handful of usual suspects.
Did Kamala Harris really answer a question about whether the U.S. would relax visa restrictions for Ukrainian refugees who have family in the U.S. by saying “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” and then laughing at her own remark? That has to be jet lag winning out, because if true, its pretty insensitive.
Biden keeps sending her on missions which she could use as political opportunities. Either the press is out to get her or she’s f*cking up. Sometimes, I think it’s HBO’s VEEP come to life. With the way things are now, I’d be surprised if she gets the nomination for president.
Poorly-educated Boebert is a great shame to the people of the District she represents and to democracy in the United States. I sincerely hope she is not reelected.

“With the way things are now, I’d be surprised if she gets the nomination for president.”
I think you are correct. As a conservative, she initially scared me as to her possibilities politically. However, as I have gotten to know her better, as well as the rest of the country, I know longer feel that way. She generally polls lower than President Biden.
