Lauren Boebert says lots of stupid ignorant shit.
thesmarterdog
Just last week wasn't she blaming the Jews for killing Jesus?
Wardonk3y
Jesus told peter to put away his sword because those that live by the sword die by the sword.They claimJesus, but dont know anything abt him
DigiT00l
So, she should get shot at some point?

Jezebel met a far worse fate. Perhaps thats in the cards for LB.

but... hold on... didn't he give himself up and die on purpose? Isn't that the required step to open the kingdom or heaven and negate...
SpiteLip
...original sin? He even talks to God at the end and understands its necessary, right? Been a while since I studied the religion, but...
SpiteLip
Pretty sure that's the gist. He died for our sins and all that jazz.

... the disciples were armed... Peter drew his sword when they came to arrest Jesus. Jesus told him to put it away. Paraphrase to follow.

She seems to not understand that Jesus was supposed to be crucified. That was the plan. It wasn't the Gov. that killed Jesus it was God.

Lets give her an AR-15 against a Roman Centuria and see what happens

Since all the Romans are dead she will probably win

There's still Rome, where Romans live :)

Anyone got a link to Family Guy gun PSA with Jesus in it? I’m old and don’t know how to link that stuff….

Is she trying to deflect attention?

You should repost this to counter her efforts

They are ALWAYS deflecting. And it unfortunately works all too often.

Romans famously killed people who didn't have AR-15s.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
Exlcusively.
spookyhats
I thought the whole point was for Jesus to, you know die. Like wasn't that his plan from the beginning.
GCRust
It was, but an alarming number of supposed Christians legitimately believe Christ's death was a victory by Satan.
eightyearplan
How does boebert's alternate history play out? is jesus the only one with an AR15 and he conquers rome / the world? Does rome have guns.. ?
spookyhats
You know I don't think just one gun would make much of a difference, and if everyone had guns the Romans would have just shot Jesus instead
ProfessorDumbass
Romans killed jesus because God planned it that way. Apparently
cakeycakes
No one tell them about all the other Christians that were also crucified. As if Jesus was anyone special. Thousands, in fact.
Neednoggle
"For God so loved the world that He had His only begotten son murdered for some reason.."
darkjedi607
Yeah so what's she saying like. His plan to die and redeem shouldn't have been carried out? What exactly does she believe?
Phlynch
She believes if she puts the words "gun" and "Jesus" in the same sentence her audience will think she's the world's smartest person.
Lampmonster
Jesus could have stepped off that cross at any point according to their own bible, Satan tempted him to do so.
YoSamiteSam
Canonically, Jesus could have turned all the water in their bodies into wine, killing all of them.
HasteTheFool
Also, someone must have been snacking on some fish. By multiplying it enough times everyone not hoisted up upon a cross would be crushed.
Windharp
Yeah, but that was one of the few Situation someone would have needed an AK15. He most likely wouldn't have used it though...

If there were Stand Your Ground laws in Rome, the crucifixion would have gone very differently.

"God is less powerful than my gun." Bold statement to make for a supposed Christian...
samanthadlcruz
yeah, but god is defenseless against iron chariots... so what chance does he have against an ar-15?
Fauxcused
Well, they ARE a gun cult
n0n53n53
and Joe Biden is powerful enough to destroy god. So if Biden stronger than an AR?
Junktrunkjunkie
That’s not how joe,god,gun works. Joe beats guns (comin fer our guns), Gun beats god (republicans love guns more), God beats Joe(hellfire)
n0n53n53
no remember when they were campaigning and Trump said that Joe was going to defeat god?
KeithSvenson
i mean.... god's only power is influence sooooo.... technically if a president can un-religion the world... then yes, they can kill god.
SilverFoxChaser
She's technically not wrong.
AWarningToOthers
Christ wanted the Romans to take him. He knew they were coming and waited for them in the Garden of Gethsemane.
hovelhopper
This is an example of correlation not being the same as causation.
PrincessNausicaa
I would say she is wrong because Jesus's followers had the weapons of the time but he forbade them to use them. It would have been the same.
wherethehorriblethingsare
Who would win: The Jerusalem Town Guard made up of Romans used to putting things down violently, or 12 holy bois?
pumper
How would a single AR15 help? Fucker would run out of bullets way before the Romans run out of soldiers.
CarnivorousRabbit
With the embodiment of God on their side, my money would've been on the holy Bois. That'd make an interesting movie.
wherethehorriblethingsare
They didn't need magical weapons to overcome Jesus' damage resistance, and weapons that pierce him become magical. Big weaknesses.
CarnivorousRabbit
Bitch needs some Ward Save, damage resistance against both magic and physical attacks. I could make him a One-Man-Doomstack...
moonshadowkati
Folks, I can't say this more plainly. She's not dumb, she's riling up the dumb. Don't be distracted by her.

I believe I said "don't get distracted," not "just ignore her."
SelfProclaimedExpertOfMostThings
You're being narrow-minded. She can easily be both.
HeirElfSquire
The problem is the dumb people have guns and zero damn sense to sort past her stupid....
rophiandis
Like Trump, I believe that's more of an emergent property of her general personality rather than any calculated act
rophiandis
They're good at riling up idiots in the same way that a 7-foot tall guy is good at bumping into door frames
Lionskull
please, 7 foot tall guys can learn to be careful.

I think you're missing the point of the analogy

mycatsings
That`s ridiculous. Everyone knows there were no AR-15`s in the time of Jesus. Jesus carried a Glock
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
If Jesus just had a siege catapult, none of this would have happened.
Syxcfaq
No she is dumb but she's doing this on purpose and frankly I'm done with it. It's not even creative anymore. There's no point in being 1/2
Syxcfaq
Mad at someone with special needs. Just passe them on the head and say okay dear
TimeFoDat
Well whoever writes her scripts isn’t dumb. She most definitely is dumber than a sack of rocks at the bottom of a lake in Florida.
FrisbeeDog
Yes! I really wish the media and social media would stop giving her oxygen. Ignore this trash and focus on things that actually matter.
FrisbeeDog
Focus on SCOTUS, McConnell, etc

No, she is dumb, she uses her one allotted “thought” per day to ask herself, “What would piss me off?” Then uses it to rile up her base

Ignoring a leader of the American Fascist movement seems like a *bad* idea. Germany didn't have a good time with ignoring their Fascists.
TZO2k15
This! Only a fool underestimates their enemies, just like people that knew "for a fact" that trump could never win the primary/election!
rooik14
Admittedly it was a very narrow victory, and only happened due to the antiquated system of the electoral college, but yeah 1/2
rooik14
2/2 underestimating Trump should be something people learn from.
TZO2k15
Yeah, I was hoping we could get rid of that albatross already, the Electoral collage is completely useless!

She's a tool. She's another GOP dancing monkey they can use to rile up both sides while they quietly strip Americans of their basic rights.

I do appreciate caution, but just like with Trump I think it's sometimes good to call a spade a spade. Believing every idiot in the GOP is -

Secretly a mastermind works against us, too. Some people voted for Trump because they thought his idiocy was an act. Making them out to be -

She's an absolutely stupid human being. Like, irrefutably so. That she also serves the purpose you describe is not by her design but 1/

Imgur lives for her and the blonde’s dumb takes. I’d honestly hear nothing about them if it wasn’t for the raging hard on Imgur has for them

You might not have heard about her directly, but you'd eventually experience the ramifications of the American Fascist movement killing you.

I have yet to see people rounded up and thrown in camps but thankfully we have guns to defend ourselves if that happens. phew
rooik14
Please... please tell me this is you joking. Putting people in camps is literally one of the most far-sweeping things the Trump admin *did*.
