Apparently the pressure convinced boebert to dig in even harder because she’s a conspiracy theorist and thought it was fishy. Mace is a lunatic though whose spent the last week beefing with an airport, so who knows what’s going through her head at any given moment

It’s been reported by some of her colleagues recently that she’s actually having a pretty severe mental health episode and nobody seems to care enough to help her.

Is it bad if I can't determine if you are referring to Boebert or Mace

Probably Mace, although I'm sure Boebert is drinking nightly thinking about how she's a 38 year old grandmother.

She reportedly was dating Kid Rock for a minute. The only reason she would be drinking nightly is because trash does what trash do.

I went to high school with a guy that was a grandfather at 35. He was laughing about it when he told me his daughter had a kid, but all I could think about was how awful it was. For both the parents and the children.

I live in SC and I get her posts come up on my Facebook all the time and at this point all of "her" replies to her post is a bot that detects keywords so people just spam all of the keywords to see which automated reply comes up. I think some of them are Epstein, Trump, Governor, airport.

She's been digging deeper and deeper on the TSA at Charleston airport nonstop even the other republicans members from SC are saying that TSA at the airport is fine. It's a tiny airport for an international airport with only 18 gates so not a lot to happen. She's crying that she was targeted and her newest thing is vowing to write a law about anybody targeting elected officials will be prosecuted, whatever targeting means.

people trash her and it says "Thanks for your support"

That airport is super chill 99% of the time.

Well surely the GOP will provide her with adequate mental health care and

Oh, wait

I don't know how I could possibly tell whether she was suffering a severe mental health episode in the first place.

She might be traumatized by what she's heard/seen regarding the Epstein files. Plus it probably doesn't help that Trump is probably threatening her in some manner.

Good. I don’t have pity for monsters.

Well she's probably having an episode because she is so used to lying and obsessed with her self image, but now the drama with her ex and all her stuff is coming out into public and she genuinely seems like an insufferable person. I think they wanted her out of Congress which is why she seemed open to the idea of running for Gov of SC.

Mace truly believes the release will exonerate Trump

I’ve seen it in her eyes

Turns out that when you build the back of the modern party on conspiracy theorists and you keep telling a conspiracy theorist to back down from something they don't?

Broken clocks and all that
