I will never understand the obsession some of y'all have with congresscritters. The vast bulk of them are eight kinds of moron, in both parties; the GOP usually has an edge on crazy but there's lots to choose from. Then again bread and circuses.

I understand why she might be obsessed with public urination. Her husband did pull his dick out in public, so take it as you will.

And people suggest the DC council is too incompetent for statehood, but this moron has an actual say in nationwide legislation.

Congressional staff make up 20-25,000 jobs in DC and their work directly impacts the day to day work of many many more.

Congress also has ultimate control over DC local politics.

Not sure why you would be surprised that people post about these things.

"did you vote in favor of decriminalizing public urination"

"No"

"...did...did you lead the charge to decriminalize public urination"

"No..."

"But...." Visible confusion

She read ‘change’ as ‘charge’ and tried to recover from that. She’s prob into golden showers. Part of her penile obsession. Just a thought.

i disagree with a lot of what the city council does, but I watched this live and the professionalism of mendelson and allen were admirable in the face of some truly stupid questions from people who must have been dropped on their head as a child.

Ah yes, the "grilling" by Congress some folks here were so eager for.

Listen Boebert, it’s still a crime in Dc to piss in the streets. So neither your nor that husband of yours that engages in criminal sexual behavior is allowed to piss in the streets

Let's write a headline in the style of a right-wing disinformation mill:

Watch LAUREN BOEBERT stutter as she learns she could be ARRESTED for PUBLIC URINATION

A little over 3% of DC residents voted for him, with zero competition. That’s about 24000 out of 786000 people. He’s allowed to destroy the city with his policies when only getting 3% of votes. The city council is a joke and should be dismantled.

Yes. He was running unopposed. Another way to put this is that he’s liked well enough that people didn’t run against him in the primary.

So you want to dismantle the city council? "If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy." - David Frum.

Do you even hear yourself? I’ve got a better idea - statehood for DC so we don’t have Boebert and the rest of the congressional clown show all in up in our business.

The ineptitude and idiocy of these new MAGA Republicans is a threat to democracy and the American way of life. Intelligence, character and capability are no longer considered electable qualities. Only the extremes to which one will go for social media clout.

To the contrary he’s well within the mainstream of criminal legal system reform and working to end over policing and mass incarceration of African Americans and other minorities. Crime is not worse here than in many conservative led cities.

I would have answered as follows: “Just to be clear Congresswoman, In the event your husband (purely hypothetical) were to take out his penis in public and urinate, it would still be a criminal offense in D.C.”

White privilege at its finest. There's no way I, as an Indian-American, could have dropped out of high school and never gone to college and then made $200k as a U.S. Congressmember as a 30-something yr old.

I don’t care about you their cities crime rate, I’m concerned about my city where I live and pay taxes.

DC shouldn’t be compared to any other city we are completely different.

Let’s not rest our hats on what other cities are doing or failing at.

Charles criminal legal system reforms will lead to both lower incarceration rates and lower crime. More police is completely irrelevant to whether crime goes up or down. Why shouldn’t DC be compared to other cities? It’s relevant to deciding on what policies work.

Absolutely not. You cannot compare how the District works and it’s responsibilities compared to any other city. Our government has the Herculean tasks of policing the national nations Capitol as local, county, state, and federal.

Outside of policing our other government functions have greater responsibilities than other municipalities.
