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’m a bit out of the loop here. Who is Laura Loomer and why is she important?
Former infowars lunatic and Trump entourage hanger-on
And potentially his new Stormy Daniels?
Investigative journalist
Important because she has been hanging out with Trump
Empty headed dumb fuck conspiracy theorist, racist, and fascism apologist.
She says 9/11 was an inside job, so Trump invited her to the 9/11 memorial this week.
To uh
…
Do an inside job.
😬
Trump is grabbing her by the pussy.
She’s the person who managed to be so racist that MTG called her out publically for it, which is honestly quite impressive.
Wow. She’s probably right, but holy shit she actually said that publicly
politically incorrect public statements is her thing
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.
This is very definitely a “stopped clock” situation, though.
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…
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.
That seems to be his kink
You’re not wrong, Walter. You’re just an asshole!
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?
Let them fight meme.
As long as you’re internally consistent and endorse all gay Republicans and other kinds of fascist getting outed before they’re ready.
I mean . . . yeah. Go.
she looks like joe camel had a lovechild with julia roberts
Jfc. Our politicians aren’t lookers but they don’t live in the uncanny valley.
nose job, cheek fillers, botox, all before 30? yup. looks weird.
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.
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.
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.
Now that’s a RomCom I would watch.
I’m not seeing any Julia Roberts. That’s just Joe Camel.
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…
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.
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.
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.
Prompted me to think of it. I’m like 65% can’t be bothered and 35% fuck Musk, Twitter is a welfare program for far right attention whores.
It’s called Xitter
pronounced “shzitter”
Nope. That’s being too generous to the cowards still on the network. Twitter is dead and it’s nothing but Musk’s X.
You think that because you’re not pronouncing it properly.
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.
Telling people on lemmy “You are an Xer” is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen on social media.
I haven’t thought about that song in so fucking long. Immediately in my head

Is she cosplaying firecracker?
Lindsey deserved this the moment he sold his soul to the devil
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.
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.
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.
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.
I mean when she’s right she’s right, absolute dumb ass moron as she is.
A broken clock, twice a day…
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.
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.
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.
