Wow. She's probably right, but holy shit she actually said that publicly

Lmao she actually called captain narnia out. Fantastic. Normally I am against this sort of thing, but that servile fuck has harmed SO MANY PEOPLE with the bullshit he’s pushed over the course of his career that he genuinely deserves no quarter whatsoever. He is a reprehensible human being and deserves to be publicly castigated and humiliated at every single opportunity possible.

politically incorrect public statements is her thing

You know those people who proudly say they "tell it like it is", but really just want to tell offensive jokes punching down at minorities? Bet they love her...

Oh, so it's okay to say this then - uh, what’s going on with her face?

Gender reaffirming surgery.

She identifies as a real housewife, wearing another real house wife’s face skin as a mask.

You're not wrong, Walter. You're just an asshole!

Lindsey deserved this the moment he sold his soul to the devil

she looks like joe camel had a lovechild with julia roberts

Wait is that her actual face? Well I mean it’s not her face in a manner of speaking but is the photo real? Yikes.

I understand the photo to be real, and it's bad. I would say in fairness she doesn't always look quite so much like Majora's Mask as she does in this photo but yeah it's an atrocity and so is she.

To quote Greg Giraldo "Really? Is that good? How much worse could your real face look than that clown mask you've had welded to your head?!?"

(For those who don't know him, criminally underrated dead comedian at Joan River's roast.)

Not just Joan Rivers’ roast but that man elevated roasts to a whole new level during his short time on this earth. Rip.

She looks like a poorly-modeled NPC in Fallout 3.

Not a big fan of gossip, but my buddy sent me these. You may connect the dots. Let's just hope the pre-nup is bulletproof.

He’s just grabbing it by the pussy.

I’m a bit out of the loop here. Who is Laura Loomer and why is she important?

She's the person who managed to be so racist that MTG called her out publically for it, which is honestly quite impressive.

Exactly what I thought. She sounds like a Gail the Snail type character.

Investigative journalist

Important because she has been hanging out with Trump

'Twould be hilarious if Loomer's outing Graham managed to cost Republicans a senate seat.

Unfortunately that spineless dimwit is in there until at least 2026.

"You know what, fuck you Laura, I am a gay, and now switching parties so I don't have to hide it any longer."

  • Something Lindsey is too spineless to say/do

I can't imagine Graham switching parties even if he did come out of the closet. He's like the Log Cabin Republicans.

Yeah South Carolina and Kentucky fucked up royal when they could have booted Decephus and Moscow Mitch.

SC had the option for a senator with a spine and a brain and they blew it.

I hope both of them suffer from excruciating and terminal illnesses.

Graham's, uh, predictions, have been an open secret for years. As have rumors of his genital and anal warts.

The south will tolerate the occasional dandy so long as they are staunchly GOP.

Wow, the fuck kind of implosion is this... Just absolutely toxic mess from them. Even getting Marjorie in there.

You think they know they are losing?

They lost the whole time in 2016. Until sometime in November.

Do Not Coast. Pull! Pull! Pull!

Absolutely. That being said, let’s not take a victory lap until the election is complete and certification/inauguration go off without a hitch.

How in the hell have the worst among us consistently been put into positions of power? These folks are an embarrassment to the country.

A casual reading of history will confirm that's kinda been our modus operandi for, uhhh, ever.

Simple: one of the basic requirements of being in power is wanting to have power. It's also one of the basic reasons one shouldn't be allowed to have power.

Uh, money?

It’s . . . Kinda the reason for money.

There's many answers but I genuinely fear they're too lost in the weeds of abstraction.

The truth is still simple; Power is useless to the common* (read: average and averagely distributed) person. It doesn't grow crops, shoe horses, or help your fellow man, inherently.

The common person has real concerns to worry about, leaving the search of the trappings of power for the uncommon.

Uncommonly good* (read: beneficial for the doer and the common person) is harder than uncommonly evil* (read: beneficial for the doer but detrimental to the common person); this is simply entropy, and it readily maps to humankind's so called capacity for thought.

That it only takes a bit of shared effort to make lasting structures to help others and fight off sociological entropy is an uncommonly good realization:

The common man has labors to do, the uncommonly good servant a statistical rarity and the uncommonly evil servants and the structures they engender to keep them in support (entropy begets entropy) a hurdle that by the point of realization takes an uncommonly amount of uncommon good to overcome.

TL;DR: Human nature + time + compounding apathy in those in a position to nudge things when they were easier to nudge = a need for collective awakening to course correct. We've gilded the lily on our sociological underpinnings but have yet to truly revolutionize, only iterate.

It’s not cool to out someone.

That said, lmfao.

He does not support lgbtq people so he doesn’t get the support in return.

I'm going to get my popcorn, and watch the Twitter response while listening to Popcorn, which should just be the soundtrack to the Republican party...

Edit: Awesome version of Popcorn : https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=oRXiXy9ZLW4&si=IKEGL_MPNFKHTGI-

I haven't thought about that song in so fucking long. Immediately in my head

That remix of Popcorn really is awesome!

Twitter is dead. It’s called X. You are an Xer

Tell ya what: the day Elon accepts his trans daughter for who she is will be the day Twitter officially dies and is reborn X. Until then, it’s Twitter.

Just dead naming Twitter to get a rise is 33% of the reason I still do it.

The other 66% is fuck musk, and the remaining one percent is i just can't be bothered...

You are doing more to keep that network propped up by accommodating the lie that people who are still on that hateful network keep telling themselves. “It’s still Twitter. I’m not a member of X!” No, Twitter is dead.

Just call it X and don’t let them hide the support they are giving Musk.

The name is just a name. Whatever you call it won't change what people think of it, why people use it, or the fact that it's a social media platform for the brain dead.

That’s being too nice to the people still propping up his hateful network.

It’s X. Delete your account if you don’t want the Musk association.

Calling it Twitter does more to keep that network alive.

And just like Adobe wanting people to stop using "Photoshop" as a verb, the Segway changing cities as we know them, calm political discord, or me ever calling that shit "X": https://imgflip.com/s/meme/Its-Not-Going-To-Happen.jpg

Or stop accommodating the last few asshats on that network that are still tricking themselves into believing it’s the old Twitter.

Call it X to everyone that uses it. Don’t let them hide or deny the fact that they are supporting Musk.

No one is hiding it, stop trying to police how people refer to it.

When people ask me why we put so much money into space research, I'll point out that cosmologists might find a way to treat Laura Loomer's bipolar if they ever find where all the missing lithium went.

This lady is more insane than the crazy Missouri one who just uploaded nonstop offensive clips everywhere that didn't kick her out. I say that because she's crazy enough to stay visibly calm while spouting her absolutely hatred-fueled bullshit. That is seriously scary.

I cannot believe anyone traveling with a former president, even that one, would have such a lack in upbringing, such absolute lack of grace, that they would think it's ok to be this classless in public. I don't even need to go into the racism.

Straight Trash

The problem is she just is trash. Somehow that's gotten her a following. She doesn't know anything else. Most other Republicans know you're supposed to not say certain things, but she has never known anything but saying the worst things.

Because before, if you were trash you were ostracized and it was effective. Now, they can join a social support group of trash that will be easy to politically mobilize as long as they are given relevance. They just need to be normalized and led into living in a bubble so controlled that they only focus on how the rest of the society is wrong while evading introspectively looking at how much worse and how much more contradictory some of the elements within their bubble are.

A hateful asshole only has hateful asshole things to say!? Color me surprised!

What color is that anyway?

They are all lining up to get punished. Lady G normally has to pay beautiful boys in the Carolinas for that kind of spicy treatment.

For a second, I assumed that it was an old dude staring at a person wearing a poorly made mask. Why does she look like that? Did she have an accident?

Is she cosplaying firecracker?

Can we stop platforming small insignificant bigots just because they say stupid and awful shit and happen to be somehow tangentially related to Trump or the GOP? This is how these psychos get the notoriety that earns them seats in congress where their bigotry actually matters, ala MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, etc. I had never heard of this lady yesterday, and now I'm seeing multiple national news stories about her aggressive bigotry and indecency. Not only was I happier yesterday, but she was also less electable yesterday because this shit, incredibly, unfortunately, sells on the Right. Fucking stop. Just stop it.

It's hard, because the media is rightfully pointing a spotlight at her saying "wow, look at this racist dirtbag who's in drumpfs inner circle! This shit is disqualifying!" and then alt-right dicktater-lovers see that and say "that's our girl!"

It's like... you can't fault the news for bringing attention to the appalling behavior of people in positions of power/influence. It's just that all the racists are mask-off now and drumpf is appealing directly to them, as opposed to trying to reach any moderate voter.

Fortunately it seems that most alt-right racist opportunists only ever get a glimpse of success, as their base is one that is forever moving goalposts, and will eat their own at the slightest hint that they're not as racist as them. They burn brightly, and then fade away with their reputations forever stained, only ever gaining employment through attempts to re-validate their xenophobic/hateful credentials. It's a pitiful excuse for a life.

THANK YOU, jesus fuck. Without anyway to stop this from happening it'll just get worse over time. Lemmy is awesome but all the "old tricks" still work here.

(Succession)

Laura Loomer is Trump's Kerry Castellabate, now all we have to do is hope that not wearing the compression socks on flights in order to impress her takes him down like it did Logan Roy.

What is it with this article quoting something but then embedding a different tweet? Wouldn't you want to show the tweet in which she said the thing you are saying she said?

This cunt needs to go.

Why? She's causing absolute chaos in the Republican party. This is exactly what we need.

When the dust is settled and trump goes to prison or dies she is going to be one of the people who takes up his cause. The future of fascism is going to be very surface level 'woke' like Disney. People like jer are more dangerous the liberals want to believe.
