'Useless idiot' Lauren Boebert buried after attack on Disney crashes and burns

An attack by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on the Disney company fell flat on its face Monday as she tried to join the battle between the entertainment giant and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

With the conservative governor firing back at the company's plan to roll back the so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill, Boebert tried to make a case for a Republican Congressto go after Disney by stripping away a distinctive trademark -- that is not a trademark.

Adding to that was an embarrassing typo by Boebert which was immediately pounced upon by her many critics.

According to the Colorado Republican, "Next year, the woke Disney lobbyists will ask Congress to extend Micky Mouse’s trademark. I think not."

Spelling Mickey as "Micky" was just one reason why commenters piled on her latest tweet as you can see below:

Mickey, not Micky. Copyright, not trademark.\n\nOther than that, great tweet.

1. You don't know the difference between a trademark and a copyright.\n\n2. It's (pretty famously) M-I-C-K-***E***-Y M-O-U-S-Ehttps://twitter.com/RepBoebert/status/1511081269207216140\u00a0\u2026

This is not how any of this works. \n\n-Congress doesn\u2019t legislate individual trademarks.\n\n-Once the US Patent and Trademark Office registers a trademark, it can last forever if it\u2019s renewed.\n\n-It\u2019s Mickey Mouse not Micky.\n\n-Why do Republicans want to cancel Mickey Mouse?https://twitter.com/RepBoebert/status/1511081269207216140\u00a0\u2026

The U.S. Constitution specifically grants Congress power over copyright and patent law, but not over trademark law. Trademarks do not expire as long as they are in use. US Patent & Trademark Office oversees this via Dept of Commerce. Maybe you are talking about copyright?

Do you ever get tired of being stupid? Isn't it exhausting?
