"Just months after being escorted out of a Denver theatre for lewd behaviour, a new report has spilled details on Lauren Boebert’s antics at a GOP Christmas party.
The Colorado representative was allegedly cut off from alcohol by a server at the New York Young Republican Club’s Manhattan gala, an incident seen by several witnesses, according to CNN.
The Secret Service was also reportedly forced to intervene in her repeated attempts to take selfies with the event’s guest of honour, former president Donald Trump."

Remember Senator Markwayne Mullin (Republican, Oklahoma) at Pete Hegseth's defense conformation hearing? Well, The New Democrat does:
“How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night?” Mullin demanded after Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine’s fiery line of questioning. “Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign from their jobs? And don’t tell me you haven’t seen it, because I know you have...
The Oklahoma Republican went on to slam lawmakers for inquiring about whether infidelity in Hegseth’s marriages could be disqualifying for the Cabinet position, arguing that multiple politicians divorced spouses under similar circumstances.
“How many senators do you know have got a divorce before cheating on their wives? Did you ask them to step down? No, but it’s for show,” Mullin said. “You guys make sure you make a big show and point out the hypocrisy, because a man’s made a mistake, and you want to sit there and say that he’s not qualified...

"I'm just looking for qualifications. You didn't give me any qualifications.
Starts bringing up the fact that, what if you showed up drunk to your job? How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night? (LAUGHTER)
Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign from their job? And don't tell me you haven't seen it, because I know you have.
Kaitlan Collins:
"I mean, first off, that's a pretty serious accusation there. Do you want to name any of the senators that you're saying-- are drinking on the job?
Senator Markwayne Mullin:
No, and that's -- my whole point was, is that these senators, on the other side of the aisle, was trying to act like they were had more morals than Pete Hegseth. And they don't.
If you're going to hold someone accountable for their behavior, then hold everybody accountable. I'm not saying, I'm the most moral man or the perfect individual. I'm absolutely not. I wasn't the one calling him out. But if you're going to hold -- if you're going to hold someone at that standard, then hold everybody at that standard...
But I was in that room today. And when you said that, I guess, the thought that went through my head was, if what you're saying is true, and your colleagues do show up drinking, to come to work and vote, which I think would maybe be concerning to those taxpayers who pay them, how is the bad behavior of a sitting senator, a defense of someone who wants to run the Pentagon...

I have a few responses here, but the general point has already been made.
Seeing this new story from POLITICO and all the members from the 119th Congress (House & Senate) that they talked to, makes Senator Mullin's statement at Pete Hegseth's defense conformation hearing:
“How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night?” Mullin demanded after Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine’s fiery line of questioning. “Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign from their jobs? And don’t tell me you haven’t seen it, because I know you have...
no longer look like a drunken fantasy. That he was actually on to something (instead of on something) back in January. I wish POLITICO talked to him, but you know what they say about members of Congress: If you can't catch them by 5, they're probably at the nearest bar or country club throwing a few back. Happy Hour is obviously their best time to drink because as Senator John Fetterman and (Democrat, Pennsylvania) and Representative Marjorie T. Greene: (MAGA, Georgia) they get paid so very little serving in Congress. Actually, I'm the only one who says: "If you can't catch them by 5, they're probably at the nearest bar or country club throwing a few back". Just so we're clear.
And then my last point here: anyone who thinks American democracy is about sending "the best and the brightest to represent us... whatever you are drinking or smoking right now, feel free to share that with everyone else who wants an escape from reality. And in Donald Trump's America (also known as Trumpland) that's a helluva lot of people. I mean there are waiting lines from the East Coast to the West Coast and every state in-between waiting for that reality escape.
As U.K Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said: democracy is the worst form of government... except for all the rest. The people that tend to get elected in government, come from the people themselves.
If you don't like the current level of intelligence, qualifications, accomplishments, education, morality, that makes up who currently represents us in Congress, look at yourself and what you bring to the table for this country, first. And then who is currently representing you in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate right now. And who you voted for and supported in the past. Before you blame the people who are already in office, for their lack of qualifications, lack of intelligence, lack of accomplishments, and lack of morality.
