According to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), the only reason some companies are saying they’ll pay for their employees to travel and receive abortions in states where it’s legal is because they don’t want to provide parental leave benefits.
HuffPost notes that Boebert shared her brainless conspiracy theory on Twitter:
“Anyone else consider that these companies suddenly offering to pay for employee abortions are doing so just to avoid paying for maternity leave?”
“Cheaper to kill the baby… true evil personified.”
Anyone else consider that these companies suddenly offering to pay for employee abortions are doing so just to avoid paying for maternity leave?
However, Boebert has also been a vocal critic of paid parental leave, such as what she said last November:
“I delivered one of my children in the front seat of my truck. Because, as a mom of four, we got things to do. Ain’t nobody got time for two and a half months of maternity leave. We have a world to save here.”
Saving the world? Sure thing, BoBo. You can’t even manage to keep your lies straight, yet alone “save” anyone.
Social media users blasted the Colorado Republican.
Friendly reminder that Lauren Boebert is against maternity leave. She actually said so… 🤷🏼♀️https://t.co/GOgHvsV47X
Wow…a new low. Basically accusing Starbucks of infanticide. Keep in mind Starbucks doesn't decide what the employee does. They are supporting the decision.
Speaking at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers International convention in Chicago on Wednesday, President Joe Biden ratcheted up his attacks on Republicans and failed, one-term former President Donald Trump, remarking:
“Look at my predecessor, the great MAGA king — the deficit increased every single year he was president.”

That led Trump (or one of his minions) to post this meme on Truth Social, the Donald’s pathetic attempt to remake Twitter in his own image:
That’s just downright pathetic. Not only because it steals from a well-known franchise, but also because the attempt to own the title of “MAGA king” cuts both ways, which was clearly lost on whoever decided to do the posting.
It didn’t take long before the meme was shared on Twitter, where people opened up a can of mockery on Donnie.
Glad I wake up in a country where My President, doesn’t resort to gimmicky photoshopped “king complex” photos as a way to convey a message to the citizens of this nation.
Hey Donny, you do realize what MAGA stands for don't you ? Well the fact you and your supporters were still using it after you were in power for FOUR years means you FAILED to make it 'great again'…..
Leave it to failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump to ruin a day as special as Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day is supposed to be set aside for the purpose of honoring mothers and motherhood. But Donald decided to use his message for the purpose of attacking those he doesn’t like, which proves what a soulless sack of monkey spunk the ex-president is.
Posting on Truth Social because he’s still banned from Twitter, here’s what Trump had to say:
Trump’s Mother’s Day message accurately reflects his level of respect for them. Heartwarming. The Family Values party. pic.twitter.com/9aeYUSXf73
That’s totally inappropriate, and would be in just about any situation. But to post that sort of tripe on a day as special as the one we use to honor our mothers is like spitting in the communion cup and then handing it back to the minister.
Also, why didn’t Trump mention his own mother, or at least his current wife, who also happens to be the mother of his youngest son?
The disgust was palpable on Twitter:
You’d think he’d show more respect to mothers… after all, he is a motherfucker.
No surprise. His constant need for praise and treatment of women, especially those who stand up and challenge him, comes from the very poor relationship he had with his own mother.

I can’t believe Hallmark didn’t come up with that first for a Mother’s Day card. A really touching message on this day 🤦♂️
If you thought the speech he gave at the 2020 Republican National Convention was the height of Donald Trump Jr’s alleged substance abuse problems, a new video release by the son of the failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president is setting off new alarm bells.
Here’s the 2020 speech:
Junior’s latest video has him weighing in on the leak of a draft Supreme Court decision which would invalidate the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal across the United States.
Don Jr’s video, which was posted on Rumble, begins with him waving his hands around excitedly and holding forth on the leaked SCOTUS opinion:
“Well guys, you saw the leak from the Supreme Court, an unprecedented thing. This kind of stuff doesn’t happen. I don’t know that I’m ever aware of a leak. This is not like Congress where everything leaks, and trust me I’ve done enough testimony. Things are leaking during, uh, closed-door hearings. I get it. The Supreme Court doesn’t have leaks. If there’s not a thorough criminal investigation into who leaked privileged documents about a draft decision from the United States Supreme Court – where a small, small, tiny handful of people have access to it – then we live in a clown show state. We live in a clown show state, folks.”
Junior then added (without a shred of proof) that the leak came from a “pissed off leftist” and falsely equated the entire episode to a “general coordinating with communist China, giving Chinese generals examples of what our response would be.”
Near the end of the video, Don Jr. proclaims that “this may be the first time in history that a Supreme Court opinion has leaked. I’m not aware of another time and I dunno that any of you are either.”
Actually, the Roe v. Wade decision was leaked before the court had formally handed it down for public consumption.
In one final, deranged salvo, Don Jr. speculates that the leak was done by “the left” in order to made sure Democrats win the upcoming midterm elections.
I did not speed up this clip. Junior is sped up himself. He is ranting now about the SCOTUS leak: “We are living in a clown show state!” pic.twitter.com/OAyC6rYtwc
I have lived in the Aspen area for 30 years and I work in hospitality. I have never done coke myself, but I have seen a lot of it. This guy is gacked out of his gourd. JFC, his heart is going to explode.

Last night in Ohio, failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump was in full madman mode, angrily attacking anything and everything he could think of, leading some to suggest he was under the influence of stimulants.
He spoke at length about the aptitude test he “aced” while he was in office, claiming he got tired of people calling him stupid so he went to “Doc Ronny” (former White House doctor and current Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson) to ask if there was any way he could prove to America he wasn’t a moron. “I have great heritage,” Trump said, “an uncle who was a great, great genius, a father who was a genius.” Jackson suggested an aptitude test, “an X test,” but warned Trump that it could be embarrassing if he didn’t pass it. Trump says he was unfazed:
“GIMME THAT TEST, DOC RONNY!”
Trump: I said.., I don’t like being called stupid. Is there a test I can take to prove to these radical left maniacs that I’m much smarter than them? And he said “Sir, there is a test. It’s called an X test” pic.twitter.com/JGVklls9ci
Trump’s narcissism and paranoia were also on full display:
Trump at one point changed gears in the middle of making a point because he caught a glimpse of himself on a screen. “What a handsome president,” he said. He noted how he asks Melania how he looks on TV after rallies, particularly about the status of his hair, leading to one of several rants about how the TV cameras never show the size of his crowds. He also claimed the cameras turn off whenever he starts talking about the 2020 election. “Even now as I speak, two of the lights just went off,” he lied at one point. “This is communism. This is the beginning of communism.”
But perhaps worst of all was what happened once the obese dotard had finished speaking: He began dancing.
Yes, you read that correctly: A man with no sense of rhythm and complete lack of musical talent began doing what appeared to be a dance, and it was God awful. Take a look:
As an aside… I think they needed a few more flags. I’m not sure the whole “I FUCKING LOVE AMERICA BECAUSE I HAVE ALL THE FLAGS IN THE HISTORY OF FLAGS YOU CAN SEE THIS ONE FROM SPACE” thing is really coming through. 🧐
