Cory Booker Is Engaged

As much as I despise Lindsey Graham at least he doesn't pretend he is something he isn't.

This is Tom Cruise level of insanity.

Like Tom jumping on the couch on the Oprah Winfrey show, when he proclaimed his love for "Kate" Holmes.

I guess he has presidential ambitions then.

My invisible wife and I offer our sincere congratulations and best wishes.

Congrats!

Just in time for a Presidential or VP run. He always falls in love just in time to run for higher office.

And quickly out once that run fails.

Welcome to the club, Cory!

She looks more than a little like Rosario. I guess he has a very specific type of beard.

He’s far from alone. I know a straight couple who got engaged and arranged for a photographer to capture the moment… because no one can do anything in private anymore.

Some will say, but I want to remember my big moment!

My reply: you’ll will, and the moment may be more special because you weren’t focused on cheating to the camera and delivering all the right poses.

When are they having their pre-divorce ceremony?

Whatever you do, get RID of all your GRINDR photos, Cory.

The press is pretty smart in tracking them down!

Tim and Mindy had the right idea.

My first thought was "he's running for president again."

And now she'll be Mrs. Ralph Hapschatt!

Cory's is Living, Laughing, Loving!

(Are there any pics of him laughing, joyfully and with open mouth, at his salad?)

Great! He was my first choice in 2020, and he’ll be my first choice in 2028.

Well that's one way to get featured on The Daily Mai. Although his publicist will probably have to pay extra to get the comments section moderated and filtered.

Eh, they'll find so much dirt on poor Cory he'll never have a chance.

Even the best hacker/disappear-er won't be able to make all that shit go away.

Besides, I imagine there are more than a few men who will spill for 50K, or even less.

* The Daily Mail

On the scale of social media emotions, I give them 11/10 for "Faking open-mouthed surprise!!!"

I’m surprised that he’s engaged to a woman and not a stack of cash from a pharmaceutical company.

How embarrassing for him. Why?

These kind of photos are crazy.

I mean if you consider narcissism crazy

Any other gay politicians who would like to get engaged to the opposite sex before the next presidential election season goes into full swing ? Step up now so we can have one big wedding ceremony for all on Memorial Day Weekend, 2027.

[quote]Besides, I imagine there are more than a few men who will spill for 50K, or even less.

Devon Michaels has just moved to the front of the line.

I get how ridiculous this will sound but I’m disappointed by the entire charade. I’d sooner see him go the route of “my private life is no one’s business but my own.”

Maybe I have no real clue. But in my gut, I feel if he wants to run for president, he’d have a better shot just being honest. Or if not fully honest, at least not cosplaying Ozzie and Harriett.

Isn’t the obvious fakery is more of a turnoff to more voters than being single and/or gay or whatever? It makes anything else he says or does suspect.

He is giving Tom Cruise couch jumping vibes.

If Cory was gay, came out and ran for president, there is no fucking way he’d be the nominee let alone win the general. Deal with reality folks.

AIPAC prostitute

Those engagement pics are cringe worthy.

The phallic symbolism of Cory's vine in pics #1 and #4 makes me think the photographer was gay and trolling.

Cory Booker is engaged in a charade.

R17, zing! 🎯 Those photos are indeed giving “young woman laughs exuberantly with salad”.

Why do people have to be so performative and theatrical these days? I want to puke every time a social media post begins with out-of-control laughter or dry-eyed crying.

Sure Jan.

🥱 😴

To a woman? Again? Oh, Cory.

Was Nicole Kidman not available

this is just sad.

poor cory.

If he's gay I guess he could always come out if he ever got elected.

I honestly think that's the only way a gay man could ever be elected president.

Running while single wouldn't cut it either, because there'd be so much speculation you might as well just say you're gay.

Someone wants to be President...I can't say who :-)

How long until he shows up on 'The View' with his bride-to-be and the ladies act like it's true ?

"As much as I despise Lindsey Graham at least he doesn't pretend he is something he isn't."

Lindz has repeatedly denied being gay. And votes against gay rights.

[quote] Eh, they'll find so much dirt on poor Cory he'll never have a chance.

Nope! And they looked everywhere for it in 2020, trust me! My dude is as clean as the freshly-douched ass of a vegan twink.

[quote] Maybe I have no real clue. But in my gut, I feel if he wants to run for president, he’d have a better shot just being honest. Or if not fully honest, at least not cosplaying Ozzie and Harriett.

Bitch, where do you live?! The Twilight Zone?!!!

R35 I thought the exact same thing! He is twirling her around like Corky St. Clair.

Cory is 56. He has never been married.

Are those of you saying he needs to marry a woman to have a realistic chance at winning the presidency actually saying the average American has NO clue about Cory? Honestly? That just seems bizarre to me.

They are laughing so hard in their photos it looks like they could pop some blood vessels.

Clearly someone doesn't want to be identified as a gay American.

I think Cory Booker has a big fat ass...and I like it.

Why does this closeted queen of color want to be president

What does color have to do with it, R53?

I get that Cory’s being gay can be a challenge in a race at that level. Of course it is.

But in this and many other threads, some people have implied as well as stated outright that being gay has been the biggest obstacle to a nationwide win facing Pete Buttigieg. That cracks me up.

His obstacle is that the highest elective office he has ever held is that of mayor of a third-tier, downward-trending* Midwestern city, a city he loved so much he’s abandoned it to live in an entirely different state.

His obstacle is that while he’s intelligent, quick on his feet and a mellifluous speaker, he’s mostly a corporate apologist whose number one goal is his own aggrandizement. And voters can see through him.

I’m not arguing that running for office while gay is a cakewalk. No. But a more nuanced argument may be called for.

*South Bend has lost a quarter of its population since the 60s. What did “Mayor Pete” (how cute!) do to reverse that?

"More Depakote for the Klan Granny at r53, please!"

This is just going to be embarrassing. Cory Booker shot his shot on the national stage in 2020 and something like 3% of primary voters chose him. There is zero reason he’d do better this time. InstaWifey won’t help.

He is never going to be the Presidential nominee, so why even bother with this shit??

Miss Cory likes fucking white Capitol Hill staff members.

I was having such a great Labor Day Tuesday& my phone started with 7 messages. Apparently, Miss Cory is planning a Presidental run in 2028(DUH, I know), someone has been contacting Democratic Major Billionaire fundraisers about 2028.

Gay.

If they're looking for DIRT, keep checking Dupont Circle& follow the HOTT White Capitol Hill male staffers.

There are stories in Meridian Hill Park in Washington DC waiting to be told about Miss Booker!

What's not reported is that he first proposed to an uninterested Chasten Buttigieg.

“That’s right, HE wanted me!” 💅🏼

Aww nothing like finding true love late in life. Rosario Dawson and Gayle King should have snagged him. Something tells me he is going to be the next vice president of the United States.

I ain’t never seen no straight man grin so hard after an engagement. I mean look at him. Though I’ll respect him. If he says he’s straight he’s straight. There’s not like there’s a ton of rumors.

[quote] Something tells me he is going to be the next vice president of the United States.

No one from Congress will - or should - be on the ticket.

R60 When did you become politically correct.

Will Bibi be his best man Booker loves the fascist state of Israel more than life. No to weirdo Christian Zionists thanks.

Booker's fanatical Christianity is what keeps him closeted. Well that, and Presidential ambitions that he will never achieve.

I’ll have to give him a ring since I’ll be out of a job soon.

Maybe he’s simply…straight.

This means he's seriously considering a run for POTUS. But, oh, Cory! You're not fooling anyone.

Why can't I see replies 1, 2, 4, 9, 13?

I don't have anyone blocked.

That's weird.

R55 Bitch have you ever been to South Bend ? Theres a reason no one wants to live there. What was he supposed to do ? Pay them ? Did Pete swipe left on you and thats why you seem to have a hate on for him ?

FWIW about 10 years ago Cory hosted some kind of fundraiser at my small NJ shore town and I had about an hour to watch him scooping ice cream for families and kids on the boardwalk. There were lots of us gays there but Cory gave off absolutely no gay vibes whatsoever. He seemed very sweet and engaging, asexual perhaps, but just not gay.

I'm a big fan. Btw he's got incredibly sexy forearms.

[quote]Cory Booker Is Engaged

In gay sex?

Do they think they're fooling anyone? Seriously?

Girl please…. Even with a hag in tow - you are not getting into the White House. As much as you want it!!

I'm in the same boat, R73.

It's true love. We can all spot is a mile away. Can't fake true love.

Hope they are every bit as happy as we were.

The press is always hungry so keep feeding them lots of photos, just like we did.

He may not succeed at running for president but it's possible he's gunning for a Vice Presidential nod (we've never had an openly gay vice president, either)

[quote]He may not succeed at running for president but it's possible he's gunning for a Vice Presidential nod

Been there. Done that. Got the wedding ring to prove it.

Me too R73

He’s such a pussy hound!

R73, R79, R83 — same. I have almost no one blocked and those posts are hidden for me. I think some posts get hidden for all users who don’t have the “Asbestos Eyeballs, show me everything” setting, and some posts even get hidden at that setting.

A 2026 wedding is planned, but don't plan on it.

His biggest obstacle is he’s accomplished nothing as a senator, gives off huge wimp vibes, doesn’t come across as a fighter and can’t even do snark well.

The only claim to fame he has was that all-night filibuster which was a joke and proved nothing.

No lavender marriage will save Cory’s rep. He’s a pussy who’s done zilch. That contrite, wimpy style of leadership is history. Dems want someone who will piss the right people off and fight for them. That ain’t Cory.

[quote] he’s mostly a corporate apologist whose number one goal is his own aggrandizement. And voters can see through him.

Wait, we're still taking about Mayor Pete, right?

Wow, her mouth is even bigger than his! The ring is teeny. He needs some donations from Zales...

[quote]The only claim to fame he has was that all-night filibuster which was a joke and proved nothing.

Well, Cory and Gavin Newsom are the only two Democrats who seem to have taken any action on the national stage since January. 20.

While Cory didn't get as much press or acclaim as Gavin, at least it was something. So Cory gains points in my book for that.

The best the other Democrats in Congress seem capable of doing right now is writing strongly worded letters.

I thought he was gay.

[quote] Wow, her mouth is even bigger than his!

That's quite an accomplishment, since he has been known to take 10 inches and bigger!

Corey quickly followed up his filibuster with a yes vote to confirm crooked Charles Kushner as ambassador to France.

I'm glad he found a beautiful Christian fiancee.

Finally.

Those photos scream "After we affirmed our commitment, we headed down to the Christmas Store to set up our gift registry!"

Opening your mouth and showing your teeth isn’t the same as smiling.

I asked him to wait until our wedding night-- he agreed, and gave me a purity ring.

Those are the fakest looking engagement photos I've ever seen.

Why is he smiling maniacally? Tom Cruise couch jumping vibes.

It’s fake and he’s gay but can’t tell Mama since he was born before1985?

Mazel tov!

He do want to wait til our honeymoon for intimate relations, okay- and I respect that. He also wants to practice The Rhythm Method. But he da man and the head of the household, so...

Even if I had never heard of this pathetic closet case, his face alone would tell me how fake this all is….not to mention his place is now cemented in the Cookie Smeller Hall of Fame.

He's chunkier than I realized.

He’s not just smelling those cookies!

He puts the gay in engagement.

I misread this as "Cory Booker is Engayed".

Those engagement photos are horrifying because they look so forced and fake. Who the fuck thought THAT was a good idea?

Cory seems to be otherwise engaged.

He's a fucking grifter. And a desperate loser.

I don't care about his schtick. He can fuck off up his own ass.

Can’t wait to see the lucky lady marching down the aisle to the sound of “ Here Comes The Beard.”

He's never voted against gay people. He's never said anything negative about gay people. Whether Cory Booker is gay and closeted or not, it has no bearing on anyone's life but his own.

[quote] He's never voted against gay people. He's never said anything negative about gay people.

He wouldn't dare.

Cory knows that we would come for him from all directions.

What a kaween!

[quote]Those engagement photos are horrifying because they look so forced and fake. Who the fuck thought THAT was a good idea?

Taylor Swift's publicist.

[quote]I ain’t never seen no straight man grin so hard after an engagement.

It's giving

Alexa- play "Bi-racial Thug Orgy IX" while we have intercourse.

Engagement sponsored by Beltway Dental LLC.

Maybe he can have a double wedding with Tim Scott

This is so embarrassing; not just because, well...you know...but he's too old for these antics. He needs to morphing into the Elder Statesman at this point. He should've called Gav and he wouldn't given him some good advice about how to play the media game and not look like a complete fool (for the most part).

"Hey, you two, close your mouth you're catching flies!"

[quote] Whether Cory Booker is gay and closeted or not, it has no bearing on anyone's life but his own.

True, R111. But if you aspire to the highest office in the land and suddenly get engaged to a woman, let's just say he looks like he's smelling cookies!

"Look! I'm engaged! To a WOMAN! A real girl! With a ring and everything! We're getting married! To EACH OTHER! I love this -- I mean, her -- so much! Look! I can carry her! We're so HAPPY. This is real! It's really happening!"

So natural and authentic, these photos. So relaxed and spontaneous .

So not staged.

So Cory Booker

My boy was just focused on his career and serving his country.

This looks a little forced, Cory. Maybe dial down the mania a few notches.

They could have pulled off 1 photo, amid the full set, with those maniacal “SO HAPPY YOU CAN SEE ALL MY TEETH!!!!” smiles.

But there’s too many — nobody naturally taps into that level of crazy wide mouthed laughter over and over and over again while a photographer shoots. This is the epitome of cringe.

He means well.

[quote] *South Bend has lost a quarter of its population since the 60s. What did “Mayor Pete” (how cute!) do to reverse that?

R55 South Bend did see a turnaround under Mayor Pete, the fact that you chose to believe right wing talking points instead of the truth well that is on you. Did Pete do miracles, no he did not, but he did turn the city around from decline to progress.

[quote]Maybe I have no real clue. But in my gut, I feel if he wants to run for president, he’d have a better shot just being honest. Or if not fully honest, at least not cosplaying Ozzie and Harriett.

This. When are the Dems going to realize that it's the inauthenticity that hurts them. One of the main reasons that Trump is so popular is that - idiocy aside - he puts on no airs, gets about with minimal stage management and doesn't censor himself, ever.

If we could graft these traits onto an intelligent, presentable Democratic candidate we'd be back in the WH in 2028.

Trump puts on no airs? LOL. The man wears more makeup than bozo the clown, claims he weighs 215 pounds, and lies about literally everything

"puts on airs" as in making oneself to be more sophisticated than they are, which I don't think is Trump's strong suit r129. The heavy makeup I'd file under the "stage management" rubric; the lying is a given but not a particular attempt to enhance his social standing.

Point is, the Dems need to avoid the kind of grandstanding, fake behavior exhibited by Mr. Booker and future Mrs. in these overly-produced and staged engagement photos. That is if they want to get back into power anytime soon.

If gays guys pretending to be straight is "grandstanding" you'll find that more in the GOP than among Democrats

[quote] As much as I despise Lindsey Graham at least he doesn't pretend he is something he isn't.

Beyond Lindsey claiming he’s straight for decades, and consistently voicing and voting anti-gay rights, he doesn’t even date women. He latches onto older men with power that included the late John McCain and currently Donald Trump. His obsessions with Brett Kavanaugh and Herschel Walker, among others, were highly visible. The whole pattern was evident since he first entered politics in SC. LG will never pursue a female beard relationship or admit he’s gay.

Never cross your hands across your sternum when you kiss the bride, esp. when doing a photo op.

Aaron, will we see some pictures of your beautiful wife, or is she still in hiding?

My new, added luv is Benjamin Netanyahu. Don’t you all pay attention to my foreign trips, media interviews, and X posts?

Her face looks a bit manly.

R127 oh how we laugh…at you. South Bend was and is a shit joke. They are lucky to have school there. Plot twist: any university more famous for its teams than its academics is not really a good school. LOL

If Pete Buttigieg has done this he’d be president by now.

They remind me of this couple.

He always wanted to wear my panties...

[quote]any university more famous for its teams than its academics is not really a good school.

Notre Dame is really a good school.

Is it where you learned grammar? LOL.

It’s famous as a football school. There aren’t any Nobel laureates running around that campus.

Notre Dame is a good school. It's not Yale, Dartmouth or Penn, but it's in the tier below by most standards.

If you put MIT and the main Ivies, etc in "Tier 1A", Notre Dame would probably be in "Tier 1AA" or probably "1AAA".

[quote]As much as I despise Lindsey Graham at least he doesn't pretend he is something he isn't.

Lindsey Graham is a full-blown fascist and this is an idiotic comparison. He's also an obvious closet case, which is the definition of pretending "he is something he isn't." He's not only pretending to not be gay, he's pretending that we can't all see what is obvious to the naked eye from low orbit.

Lindsey Graham is also the target of constant ridicule here at a level that few other public figures reach, so I'm not even sure why you're posting this at all. It's not like we love Lindsey Graham.

Notre Dame is 18 on National Universities ranking US News. A very good school.

And there’s your answer…you rely on USNWR. Bless your heart.

This marriage and his presidential run will end in tears.

How many Nobel Prizes. Or Pulitzer Prizes. Or National Academy of Science members. And so on and so forth. We could do this all day.

Let’s get back to The Farm—/s/ Cory

R146 I went to Cornell, Brown and Sorbonne, so bless YOUR heart. Notre Dame is a great school. No need to be a snob about it. Where did you go?

Zzzzz

Move along, toots.

deflecting because the truth is, Miss College Snob Thing attended a community college extension in a strip mall outside Akron, Ohio.

The Farm, Harvard and Berkeley.

Why do you ask? Bye now.

Zzzzzz Avon Old Farms? Laugh. Did you have winter session in Gstaad? No you did not. Typical Harvard douche brah. Slagging on Notre Dame.

Thank you r153, for showing us you are so ignorant as to not know what is meant by The Farm…point proven…LOL

Yes, you are truly the Happy Few and the arbiter of all. As I said typical Harvard douche.

Have you figured it out yet?

Doesn't make him straight...

He's running

Of course he is…

Never married, male, senators, today:

Cory Booker (now engaged, still never married) and Lindsey Graham.

La Senatrice is a 70yo gay ass licker.

Booker is GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY    

U.S. House - men who, as far as public records show, have never married - at least 2. Maxwell Frost (FL-10) and Eric Sorensen (IL-17). Frost is 29 and kinda pings. Sorensen is 49 and gay.   

Tim Scott used to be in the “never married” bucket, but he married a WOMAN in August 2024, so he no longer counts. He pings GAAAAAY from space.

Do they take us for fools? This makes me dislike Cory somewhat. It's pathetic and cowardly, if it may also be political survival for him.

I kinda thought that about Maxwell Frost, R160.

Glad to know I'm not the only one.
