BoBo is having such a lousy day that even Rep. Rapey McForehead left her standing there alone. Republicans lined up to attend Donald Trump's criminal trial, and Rep. Lauren Boebert's son, Tyler, attended court by himself. And I'm sure the jury noticed that, once again, the defendant's wifebot was not by his side.
