Far-right congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado hasn't been secretive about her obsession with firearms.

Boebert owns Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado, where servers are encouraged to open carry firearms. During her campaign, Boebert vowed to bring her glock with her into the halls of Congress (she didn't). Further into her term, she went viral for the slapdash display of guns serving as her Zoom background.


So it's no surprise that Boebert's one of the many Republicans who consider any regulation of firearms, or even studies on gun violence, to be a violation of the Second Amendment, claiming that firearms are necessary to rise up against a government with a $700+ billion defense budget if the need arises.

Boebert recently used a tragedy in Norway to bolster her case.

There, a man launched a bow and arrow attack that killed five senior citizens, the deadliest multi-homicide in the country in a decade.

Boebert took to Twitter to gloat that a mass casualty event occurred without a gun.

Boebert absurdly claimed that a multi-homicide event occurring without a gun is proof that gun laws don't do anything to prevent mass murders. The Congresswoman said this in a country where Americans have access to automatic weapons, which are designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time.

What's more, there were 31 murders in Norway in 2020—the highest number for the country in seven years. For comparison, there were 12,891 murders from guns alonealonein the United States the same year.

Boebert's statement was completely idiotic, and people made sure to let her know.






Soon, people were bringing receipts.




Boebert is up for reelection next year.

Truth Social Crashed Amid Trump's Epic Feud With Musk—And The Error Screen Was Unintentionally On Point

As President Donald Trump and his one-time billionaire ally Elon Musk publicly feuded, Truth Social crashed due to a traffic surge—and while the circumstances behind the feud are stunning, sparking considerable online conversation, one thing that really got people going was that Truth Social's error screen was unintentionally, well, truthful, in relaying that there are "no truths" to be found on the platform.

The feud had been brewing since Tuesday, when Musk denounced a sweeping GOP-backed bill covering taxes, spending cuts, energy policy, and border security as a “disgusting abomination,” citing concerns over its projected impact on the national deficit. Musk has made clear he intends to either derail the legislation or push lawmakers to significantly revise it.

Woman Horrified After Accidentally Shattering Roommate's $249 Louis Vuitton Chocolate Purse

There are a few "roommate etiquette" rules we should all be able to agree to: don't use or take something that doesn't belong to you, at least without asking; don't eat your roommate's food; and honestly, don't touch their food, especially with your bare hands.

A leading rule, however, should be: If you break something that belongs to your roommate, you should replace it.
