      I still don’t understand how she saw zero repercussions from that. Sex acts, boobs out, in crowded theater??? Anyone else would be arrested. I mean they have it on video!! No “alleged” involved.

    Before the MAGA folk start clutching their pearls about “leave their children be”, he’s 18 and fair game.

        As if. Even unimplanted embryos are people now. Passed the zygote stage? You can straight fuck off.

      Maybe the kids is a serious POS, idk, but I don’t think his age is any justification to be shitty to him. There isn’t some “adult-switch” that’s flipped on a person’s 18th birthday. They’re largely the same as they were the days and years before that point. Policy wise and legally we need an age to define these things, but using that socially is pretty crappy.

        At the same time she is relentlessly attacking Joe Biden for the actions of his son Hunter Biden, it absolutely justifies attacking Lauren Boebert as a massive fucking hypocrite

    He is charged on 22 counts, which include vehicle trespass, property thefts and criminal possession of ID documents.

    None of the charges relate to the purported sex tape.

    Clickbait headline. The 22 charges should be the focus.

    But at the same time this kid is 18. He’s young and stupid, who cares? Stupid kid does stupid things and is dumb enough to get caught.

      None of the charges relate to it because he wasn’t arrested for the sex tape, they found out about it while investigating the theft. Any charges for the sex tape will be done separate. They don’t lump charges for crimes together unless the second crime was committed along with the first.

        I’m of the mind that if the girl was in his age group it shouldn’t even matter. But we don’t know so whatever.

        I’m just saying that they should be talking about the 22 charges for thieft and etc, not a what if video.

        If a person has a pending charge and pick up a new one unrelated to the first, unless there is some procedural or legal conflict, the two cases can be (and often are) combined for judicial expediency as it will be the same judge and prosecutor (and public defender if that applies) on both cases. Also, sometimes one jury can hear both charges, and sometimes they need to be tried separately, and that can depend on a variety of factors.

      “But at the same time this kid is 18. He’s young and stupid, who cares? Stupid kid does stupid things and is dumb enough to get caught.”

      Perhaps though if it was you or me (at that age) or any teenager off the street, it’s not national “news.” Many people grow up to regret youthful indiscretions, and fortunately most of those acts didn’t become national headlines that follow one forever. (I’m just not a fan of every act in this digital age being preserved on the internet in perpetuity. A prime example are those parasitic websites that scrape arrest records to then extort those who have been arrested (whether or not eventually found innocent at trial or charges dismissed)).

    “She also said: 'I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn’t ask for.”’

    I don’t condone the alleged actions but I’d rather not have the 18y.o. kid/young adult’s bad choices splayed across national media outlets. Unfortunately for him, while he didn’t ask for the public attention, his mother’s incessant need for attention all but guarantees anything he does will not stay a private or just locally known matter. His “public challenges” likely would not be so public but for his mother’s narcissism.

      Hell no if I have to have Hunter Biden’s “crimes” shoved down my throat at every opportunity then the media should feel free as ever to blast this hypocrites actual felon of a son’s story from every medium they own. Dems playing fair and being the bigger person has gotten us to the shit show that is the modern US. To hell with it. This is well deserved publicity.

        I think the idea here is to keep Boebert’s hypocrisy as the focus, rather than focus on the son.

        The Hunter witch-hunt disgusts me as well and I understand and at times agree with the not always being the bigger person sentiment. But for me, this is not one of those times. The kid is not the hypocrite, it’s his mother. And I label her a hypocrite not for her son’s actions but her own.

      I mean, I’m gonna step out ona limb and say “he is fully aware his mom is a national celebrity. Doing illegal things is asking to get caught. Thus doing illegal shit when your mom is a national celebrity, is in fact asking for the attention.” Cause and effect doesn’t stop applying just cause your mom is a politician, and getting the consequences that are coming to you shouldn’t be a surprise, nor should he get a discount for being someone kid.

    So… The Biden Mafia held them at gunpoint and forced them to do that video?

    Oh wait, the local cops arresting the guy are part of a grand federal conspiracy to drum up false charges?

    No… Not that either.

    Could it be shitty parenting with fantastic examples in public theaters? Hmm…
