Rep. Lauren Boebert’s 18-year-old son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and is facing 22 charges, including several felony charges relating to a string of crimes in her Colorado district.
According to a Facebook post by the Rifle Police Department, the 18-year-old Boebert was arrested after a “recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts” in Rifle, a town in Colorado’s 3rd congressional district.
According to Garfield County Jail’s records, the younger Boebert is facing four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, four counts of criminal possession of ID documents, and a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.
He’s also charged with four misdemeanor counts of ID theft, three misdemeanor counts of first-degree criminal trespass, and three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
In addition, he’s also charged with three counts of the petty offense of theft of less than $300.
Boebert is a terrible legislator, but her kids’ behavior and life choices have little to do with the record and views by which her fitness to represent should be judged.
There are so many good reasons not to vote for her. It validates Republican attacks on Hunter Biden as “how the game is played.”
The least we can do is be a bit more nuanced about how we joke about it.
Yes but we can see what sort of people she and her family are by how they behave. These children almost certainly had no good role models, no mentors, and no real future to speak of. They were ejected from her body and left to fend for themselves.
Remember, the GOP wants EVERYONE to live like her and her family. So, yes, we can look at what she does at home and make some judgements on that.
I think the big difference is that this kid is barely 18, and probably still lives at home. That means it was all happening under her roof.
In comparison, Hunter has been an adult for decades.
“criminal possession of a financial device”
'Had to look up what is considered a financial device…
Under 18-5-702 CRS, it is a criminal offense in Colorado to use, possess, or manufacture a blank credit card. Unlawful use of a financial transaction device encompasses credit cards, debit cards, ATM cards, or other financial devices. This crime can be a petty offense, misdemeanor, or a felony.‘’

Yeah… It sounds like he and his minor friends stole 4+ wallets from various (probably unlocked) cars that each contained someone’s ID & credit cards and at least some of the wallets also had cash.
And these people think that they are morally superior. Amazing.
They don’t just think they are.
Whatchu mean?
They know they are. They’re world renown for not thinking much. They just confidently arrive at conclusions that require little to no thought at all.
Ah, yes. I remember when I was a wee little evangelical. “We are on the righteous path! We are soldiers for the king of kings. Everyone who doesn’t conform is demon possessed. Ladies wearing blue jeans? They’re going to hell. People watching’ picher shows? They’re going to hell. Listening to their devil music? Hay-uhl! There’s godly people, and there’s everyone else. Who do you want to be brother angryseal? Oh shondra mah hyba, maw heep ah buh macoyata da bah sheenda! You say to the demon! Get behind me Say tuuuhn!”
Good lord. I need to go a good old country Pentecostal church on acid. What a show.
Still wrong. They just feel morally superior. Fuck knows why though. Plenty of delusion I guess.
Wait…I suddenly have a suspicion why the dad was being rough with the son.
This is the peak level schadenfreude I live for. Into my veins Republicans, into my veins.
Lol these people are so trashy
Just looking at the picture you know the whole family are just the worst. Like Ricky Bobby’s kids from Talladega nights. Poor kids probably never got taught how to behave properly.
Norbert’s hypercritical “family values” family is the least surprising thing in this article. I’m more surprised that Colorado has a town called Rifle.
I’m more surprised he wasn’t shot while breaking into cars in a town called rifle. I’m sure she’d be totally fine with it if he was, right? Or is that only minorities that deserve death for theft?
It won’t be long before whites are a minority in this country. So I guess then he would deserve death for even the smallest of infractions.
Did I really need to add /s
Yes. Right wingers say that kind of thing all the time. Don’t expect people in political communities to give you the benefit of the doubt when you start in with ‘white replacement’ rhetoric.
I get where you are coming from. I was speaking of demographic shifts that have been projected for years.
Oh and just like reddit, anyone who wants to use a little brain power could take 2 seconds and peruse my comment history. Nothing I’ve ever said would have me confused with a maggat.
Are you done?
Oh my God this nonce again.
They have such a victim complex.
You aren’t contributing to the conversation my dude. You are making the conversation about you.No one is taking the time to peruse your comment history lol… Just add the /s if you want to make a sarcastic joke 🙄
You seem like an alright person. Just a recommendation, now is a pretty good time for self reflection. Your comment didn’t sound at all sarcastic and there’s no reason for anyone to check your history. Just mark it with /s next time so we know.
Like Pueblo, which is basically just a town called Town.
There seem to be a lot of geographic locations named Rifle around there, but it looks like the name originated at Rifle Creek which got its name from someone finding a rifle along its banks in the 19th century. If Wikipedia can be believed, that is.
I trust Wikipedia more than the news now.
Of course they do. They’re Mid Westerners at heart.
Less to do with the mid west, and more to do with the Wild West. It’s an old ranching town.
$20 says this piece of shit starts bitching about “respecting her privacy”, while telling others how they should live.
You forgot to add “again” to your sentence.
Ah, an even better mom than Sarah Palin.
Aren’t felonies a requirement for running for office as a Republican now?
You can skip the felony requirement if you have enough sexual assault allegations. Or if you’re a “female,” you just need to have gotten pregnant before 18.
Yea, if you expect black people to like you.
(Dont @ me, Trump said it)
I’m sure he will have a bright future as a member of Yall’Qaeda
How many minors did he rape? You gotta have some of those to make it in the Republicans.
Just the one that we know of.
Kyle Rittenhouse/Tyler Boebart 2032
Please don’t give them ideas.
Gotta secure the black vote somehow, and they seem to think this is the way for some idiotic reason?
Hunter Biden has entered the chat…
Fuck Putin.
See my edit.
I was trying to slam Bobo, not say that Hunter was a real issue.
Ah, my bad
I just found the whole thing funny.
Have a great night and enjoy!
You too, compadre.
Hunter Biden the elected congressman?
To say what? “Howdy, fellow criminals”?
Give him the Hunter Biden treatment.
No thank you. I don’t want to see MTG holding up a picture of his dick.
I’m sure he has an onlyfans
I have successfully avoided seeing Hunter’s (apparently impressive) penis.
Plus, there’s precedent consider Lauren’s ex-husband exposed himself to teenage girls (including Lauren) in a bowling alley.
Look past her chaotic family life… and focus on her clown show in Congress?
Yes but no, her progenitor Sarah Palin set the stage for this bs. Family Values and abstinence only got Bristol knocked up at 17, unmarried of course.
Hold these shitbags accountable for all their actions.
What is a “financial device”?
In this case probably a stolen credit or debit card.
https://law.justia.com/codes/colorado/2022/title-18/article-5/part-9/section-18-5-903/
1 . A person commits criminal possession of a financial device if the person has in his or her possession or under his or her control any financial device that the person knows, or reasonably should know, to be lost, stolen, or delivered under mistake as to the identity or address of the account holder.
All of the charges look like CC fraud
Thank you for looking it up!
My guess is a credit card reader
He’s starting his career as a future Republican presidential candidate early in life. He’s an overachiever 🥹🥹
