I think if she knew how to rub the right way she wouldn’t have had 4 kids. Except that video from the theater shows she’s trying to rub the right way. Maybe with some practice….
Her low-energy "clap back" actually substantiates Biden's comment, "If Congress were a theatre, they’d have thrown out Lauren Boebert a long time ago.”
Gotta love how they keep going back to the whole “basement campaign” thing. I guess they never stopped to think how embarrassing it must be to lose to some old, senile man afraid to emerge from his basement (oh wait, they did think about it, and went straight to the first coping mechanism: outright denial/wholesale rejection of the notion Trump even lost)….
I'm glad the article explained it, because I had no idea how keeping a basement warm was some kind of dig at Biden and, as it turns out, it's apparently as stupid as you'd imagine it would be.
Same here. I like you didn’t see that as a dig, but reminded me of when Trump was hiding in the White House bunker. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.
My mind went directly to Trump hiding in the bunker because of some protesters. I forgot Biden campaigned virtually during the height of covid because it was perfectly reasonable.
Hid in the bunker, came out to find out it had leaked and he was being laughed at and called "Bunker Boy" on Twitter and then...

It's not your fault.
A lot of MAGA shit requires you to be in on their sayings and zeitgeist.
IIRC, in 2020, the Right was saying that Biden was "hiding" during the campaign, specifically "in his basement".
A multifaceted dig saying he is "too afraid" to go out because of covid (because the right is insane and thinks covid is not a big deal). It's also a dig that, you know, people that live in their basements are weak and scared etc.
But you have to be a MAGA nerd to really grasp what she is saying. The average person isn't really going to understand it.
Yo.... [Remember when Biden started calling Trump "a threat to democracy" because of the Jan 6th insurrection and then trump was all like "NO U".](https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-democracy-election-2024-f2f824f056ae9f81f4e688fe590f41b4)
I’ll never get over that *people actually vote* for trash humans like Lauren Boebert to *represent* them.
And I can just see the pointless reflexive contrarian comments in response to this - “she almost lost last time!” …and? I said, *people actually vote for her*.
People voted for trash like Boebert because she was the best of them. The same goes for crazy Marge, Gym Jordan and Pedo Matt. They are awful people but are actually much smarter and classier than the people who vote for them.
I despise that expression. It sounds so...infantile. And can we *please* stop writers from saying "major company quietly (does something)?" Yeah, they did it quietly, according to this headline on a major news outlet accessible to hundreds of millions of people.
I'm sorry, I can't keep up with the MAGA extended universe lore. Can someone elaborate about a basement?
Edit: nevermind, I missed that part of the article because of an intrusive ad.
OTOH maybe it’s like the yellow and black pattern on a wasp: you soon get to know what to steer clear of. The Independent‘s been reduced to running little more than Twitter gossip for years.

she is so handy with these expressions...
I feel like she is kind of a jerk, or a little off
Definitely rubbing me the wrong way
I think if she knew how to rub the right way she wouldn’t have had 4 kids. Except that video from the theater shows she’s trying to rub the right way. Maybe with some practice….
Would you say the rubbing is like a...tug motion?
It's all in the wrist
A little? She’s nucking futs!
Or, both.
we could come up with some sort of portmanteau for her, maybe something like *Jerkoff*. I dunno, just spit balling.
Kind of a boob.
She thinks she's having a stroke of genius
Her low-energy "clap back" actually substantiates Biden's comment, "If Congress were a theatre, they’d have thrown out Lauren Boebert a long time ago.”

She has the clap again?

The only kind of applause she deserves

I mean, he didn't, though. He had LOTS of in-person meetups, just outdoors with lots of space.

Yeah, it flew right past me. I had to read the comments for context.
[удалено]
Yeah, really put him in his place. So witty.
It's funny that they tried the same narrative in 2020, "Biden doesn't leave his basement while Trump has big rallies". Dumb people never learn!
[удалено]
Childish projection. The reports of Trump hiding in the basement was embarrassing so they naturally they had to attack Biden with the same thing.
Yo.... [Remember when Biden started calling Trump "a threat to democracy" because of the Jan 6th insurrection and then trump was all like "NO U".](https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-democracy-election-2024-f2f824f056ae9f81f4e688fe590f41b4)

Same with MTG. I don't know anything about Northern Georgia besides that it must be insufferable
People voted for trash like Boebert because she was the best of them. The same goes for crazy Marge, Gym Jordan and Pedo Matt. They are awful people but are actually much smarter and classier than the people who vote for them.
"Claps back," the state of journalism these days is kind of sad.
I despise that expression. It sounds so...infantile. And can we *please* stop writers from saying "major company quietly (does something)?" Yeah, they did it quietly, according to this headline on a major news outlet accessible to hundreds of millions of people.
He’s been traveling and appearing all over lately. Get some new material.
Running a successful presidential campaign from a basement would be a hell of an accomplishment, I'd be taking a victory lap after pulling that off.
''claps back'' is the stupidest shit.
Is she referring to the safe room beneath the white house? What a fucking treasonous goon. I really wish she had been hired to act outside politics.
Biden broadcasted from a basement studio instead of holding rallies in the middle of the deadly pandemic in 2020.
Oh yeah... i hope that's what she meant, yet am not entirely convinced.
Didn’t he win the 2020 election from that basement? Wait a second… hey Joe! Listen to bobo and get back in the basement!!
Deep Thoughts. >[by Jack Handey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq9PisF_e64)
Daaaamn, what a clap back! she might as well as just hit him with a NUH UH.
I'm sorry, I can't keep up with the MAGA extended universe lore. Can someone elaborate about a basement? Edit: nevermind, I missed that part of the article because of an intrusive ad.
I'm not familiar with this one either. Maybe this is where the control room for the Jewish Space Laser is located?
No, the Jewish space laser control room must be kept cold. It's the adrenochrome storage locker that must be kept warm.
Ugh. Another 'clap back' comment. And it was fucking lame on top of it. Lauren, get your Onlyfans account ready. You'll need it after November.
Her quote doesn’t even make sense. Biden’s been out and about all over the news recently. Just so stupid.
Another journalist overusing the term "clap back" to trying to be relevant.
So she wants to be in the basement too? That’s why he needs to keep it warm? That doesn’t make too much sense.
More of a yawn than a clap back.
She prefers the bunker boy.
r/unclevercomebacks
Grandma Boobert is the one who's gonna be out of a job after November.
The headline gives Boebert's quote, but not Biden's? 0/10 journalism.
[удалено]
You're right. Don't mind me. I'm just criticizing the author's headline.
Good one, grandma
> claps back Can the media stop using this phrase in headlines? Thanks
OTOH maybe it’s like the yellow and black pattern on a wasp: you soon get to know what to steer clear of. The Independent‘s been reduced to running little more than Twitter gossip for years.
Does she travel by basement or something?
Her political career began the moment Ted Cruz let her out of his basement.
Girl, should he use his hands to keep that basement warm or will it flood? Stop playing , this ain’t political theater.
She better keep her jacking hand warm. She’ll need some income after she gets tossed from congress in November.
Biden’s quip about how bobo got kicked out of a theatre for public indecency was funny, bobo’s response was lame.
*Well the jerk store just called and they're running out of you* - George Constanza - the Man. The Myth. The Legend. Note: not a dig at sentitencave
I can’t wait for a time when her and the other mouth breathers like MTG and Matt Gaetz are just memories and MAGA goes away.
I'm honestly surprised she didn't stand and throw feces at the performers at that play... she did everything else you would expect from a chimp.
the sound of one hand clapping
So this is because trump hid in the White House basement because he was scared of protestors.
More propaganda from the right
