Interesting how Boebert almost sounds like she is trying to cover her mothers tracks in this letter

There have been two posts suggesting Bullhorn lady looks like Boebert's mother and there is a twitter feed on it. I am torn on if it looks like her or not. There are certainly some similarities but I have plenty of doubt. Whether she is Bullhorn lady or not may not matter. Why on earth does the letter focus so much on her mother. See here: "My mother was the only one in D.C. on the 6th. During the riots, she was locked in a secure location away from the Capital building with staff and never left their sight." She said something similar to this in the above letter.

Fishy sounding as hell! Sounds like her mother was on the tour and was possibly in the Capital building on the 6th since she specifically tries to cover for her in the above letter. And what the hell was her mother there for on the day of the protests? Sounds like she was taking an interest in them directly. Dad at least was smart enough to stay home. There is a racist video of her mother two ripping on "brown people" at Walmart. So, she's a real winner too.

Buckeye_Democrat posted something similar to this below. So editing the OP to add a similar image. If it is her I think she had to lose some weight from when the Rifle, CO photo was taken:

If she is related to Boebert and got a recon tour, the complicity of an active House Rep is undeniable, a done deal. Unconscionable. And this RW terrorist brought her gun back into the Capital, putting all Dems at serious, imminent risk. This should scare even the most ridiculous repubs in the Capital.

The enemy within.

Her recon tour was a few days earlier when Boebert was sworn in.

A Colorado newspaper wrote that she said or was said that she got "a detailed tour of Congress" (or very similar wording) then.

Maybe not the nose? It's hard for my to compare them because of the different lighting in the side-by-side pics of the below Twitter link.

The mouth/cheeks/chin area seems like a very close match to me!

because the chin and lower face was so similar. Then as I was watching the racist video of her mom there were a couple of instances when she frowned and I realized she looked more like her mom. So I did a search and found the twitter threads of people thinking the same thing. This is the best photo yet. Thanks for finding it.

Holy crap, I think the noses might match too! I can make out the slight "nose crease", or whatever it's called, on the tip of the nose in that one... like BullhornLady.

Heck, the sunglasses seem to match too! That's not as significant, though, since many of them can look alike.

I'm not too focused on body shapes either since that can change a lot after diet programs and such.

I read a book about sketching many years ago and followed the advice. That's about as much as I tried!

People were impressed by the accuracy / realism of my pencil sketches, but they took me "forever" to do them and with numerous erasures along the way.

If I try to draw something quickly, it's more like pre-schooler level.

in the before times, i used to go to figure workshops. live model where everyone shared the cost.
it was a great group. no crits, just do your thing, share if you wanted. or not.

i was not that good at first. didnt get to use models much when i went to the art institute. i painted figures, but they were pretty abstract.
i got better. some folks are slow at it, others not. you def get faster as you get more practice.
i didnt get the bfa i deserved, long story. but i went back in my 50's and got a design certificate.
then my youngest wanted to be a tattoo artist, so i took more classes w her. she lived w me, and needed a ride.
so, i went back and took dwg 101 again. i got better still. in fact, i took a big painting that i had done, 10' long, multiple figures, and worked it over. took it to a new level.

there's a great artist's group here. and i'm sure there are tuts on youtube.
dont give up. good artists keep learning all their lives.

The one set looks like either it was a much lower resolution or someone has run the photo through a digital filter of some sort.

In the one comparison the clothes colors match, but you can not even see the knitted rows in the hat, but I think they are probably the same hat.(on the same woman)

It really does look a LOT like her mother, and I would say that it warrants much more information and I think would be enough for and actual warrant of mom's cell phone records.

Of course when they were looking for fire extinguisher guy, there was the poor sod that was a retired Chicago FD guy who looked incredibly close to the actual Penn retired FD guy who they have arrested.

Anyway, thanks for telling me! And I'm so glad that he was arrested!

Edit: Hmm...I don't know. The face of the upper right pic just might be more "washed out"? And the coats seem to match. The hat could have just been worn inside-out at a different time. And the sunglasses look pretty similar to me.

The same coats and basic ensemble makes me think they're the same woman more than anything else.

People have written that it is not the same hat, but I think it is and that there is a lot of video compression going on there. The boldest lines in the face come through, but the hat is streaky. It can also be artifacts from a screen capture after the screen has enlarged a tiny picture and in doing so the algorithm has smoothed certain things out.

FBI will probably have the originals or more nearly originals.

Democratic Representatives, for example, tweeted about being locked down in the Cannon building.

The three House office buildings are along Independence Avenue south of the Capitol:

Cannon House Office Building (CHOB, completed 1908)
Longworth House Office Building (LHOB, completed 1933)
Rayburn House Office Building (RHOB, completed 1965)

There are also three office buildings for Senators.

I think those would have metal detectors and hence officers and surveillance cameras. If she was in that building, she would be video'd and photo'd outside or inside going in, perhaps vehicle to parking lot, etc.

Hope all those surveillance videos are secured.

... Boebert's strange "alibi" for her mother, which didn't need to be mentioned in her complaint letter at all.

As far as I know, the government had never accused her of being involved in reconnaissance with outsiders/family on the 5th anyway. That was mostly speculation on the internet AFAIK.

And I hope the FBI is already aware of the resemblances! They need to at least investigate it!

In the words of William Shakespeare. "Hamlet"

Boebert is a typical psychopath. She is sure she's smarter than especially the investigators and generally the court system and can 'splain her way out of anything. Including, talking her way out of murder and armed insurrection. Looking at her rap sheet she has lots of practice.

It's always the cover-up. These discussions we hear are only the tip of the iceberg as to what the real investigators are looking at and seeing. They don't let it leak out until they're pretty damn sure. Watching the fish flop is part of the process. It racks up the charges sometimes ending in perjury. They don't ask questions where they don't already know the answers.

She should listen to her attorneys (if she has any, which often they don't, because they're so smart) and shut the hell up. But, she can't, because... Y'know the Dunning-Kruger is strong with this one.

Fri Jan 15, 2021, 09:18 AM

She may have decided to run for Congress to pump up her business, like tRump did.

https://www.denverpost.com/2020/08/27/lauren-boebert-arrests-colorado-3rd-mitsch-bush/

Boebert, then 28 years old, allegedly shouted at people detained on suspicion of underage drinking, urging them to flee from police, which caused the young drinkers to become unruly.

While she was being handcuffed for disorderly conduct, Boebert tried to twist away from police, according to deputies’ reports. She allegedly shouted that her arrest was unconstitutional, that “she had friends at Fox News and that the arrest would be national news.” It did not become national news.

Boebert was released from custody and told to appear in court that August but missed her court date because, as she told a judge, she forgot what day of the week it was. “I am now aware today is Friday,” she wrote on Aug. 28, 2015, hours after she was supposed to be in court.


Lauren doesn’t even pay taxes on her failing business, Shooter’s Grill, which lost nearly $250,000 in 2018 alone.
She then lied about her taxes being fully paid up to the Denver Post
Screen Shot 2020-09-01 at 1.26.39 PM.png
In fact, Lauren still owes almost $20,000 - just in payroll taxes alone.

Seriously, how does someone legitimately 'lose' $250,000 in one year on a business? (Trump aggravated and extended COVID crisis aside)

Sadly, you're correct about the 'privilege' thing. I've pointed out many times how people such as these are, coast through lifetimes of multiple catastrophic failures that even one of (if a minority is lucky enough to get one) would completely destroy their family for generations.

The irony here is many of the 'base' white supremist would not even consider Boebert as one of them. She only gets to play because she's a she and 'hot'. Minus those two things and she's history. At 30, she's near the end of her invitation anyway.
