  1. Let’s face it: the fact that Laura Loomer is getting openly involved in the Trump campaign at this point is another terrible decision in a history of terrible decisions made by Trump and his campaign.

    Apparently, not even MAGA or GOP people really like her and find her too extreme even by their standards, and many of them don’t even want her in close proximity to Trump at all. They want her to be ditched, and for good reason too. She’s nothing but poison to anything that she is involved with, and a danger to herself and to other people.

    But Trump being the stubborn SOB that he is, he’s not going to listen to people’s suggestions and keep her, which again is a terrible idea.

    Also, I have a VERY strong feeling that she is having an affair with him.

  2. >This is not a new low for Loomer, either; she’s gone far lower before and it’s arguably how — through bigotry crafted to go viral — she got to where she is today. Before the self-described “pro-white nationalist” rose to the status of Trump adviser (albeit one who insists she’s unpaid), she enjoyed a long and well-known record of saying horrific things. In 2017, she celebrated the drowning deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean, responding to a news story about thousands of men, women and children dying at sea with, “Good,” a handclap emoji and a toast: “Here’s to 2,000 more.”

    >After establishing herself as pro-migrant death, Loomer won Trump’s heart. “You are a very opinionated lady, I have to tell you. And in my opinion, I like that,” the Republican candidate said last year after instructing his campaign to hire her.

  3. Man, I’ve been watching Laura LooneyBin Laden for years. I genuinely don’t believe there’s a word that accurately emphasizes how insane she is.

    She’s legitimately a terrorist. Her content is specifically crafted to invoke anger and violence in a that I believe goes lower than libsoftiktok.

    She’s always been in trump’s orbit, I’m actually kind of surprised they brought her in. Personally, I already believed that they were losing in November. Now, I really believe they’re losing lmao. The GOP consistently doubles down on losing strategies but I’m honestly loving this one. I’m basking in the chaos, I love when their shit goes so bad.

    Edit: She is off her [goddamn](https://x.com/lauraloomer/status/1834394095654985768?s=46) rocker right now on Twitter. She’s promoting the great replacement. Campaign is fucked lmao.

  4. It doesn’t matter what she does or says. She is a trump worshipper and he loves her for it. As long as she adores him, there really isn’t anything she could do wrong in his eyes. She could spit on the flag, just as long as she loves him.

    >Maybe bones and a tusk

    >What’s left of its values?

    >Just a dry, crumbling husk

  6. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.salon.com/2024/09/12/appalling-and-extremely-racist-embrace-of-loomer-is-blowing-up-in-his-face/) reduced by 87%. (I’m a bot)

    > How racist is Laura Loomer, the far-right extremist, 9/11 conspiracy theorist and trusted ally of Donald Trump? Enough to make Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., call her out as "Racist.”

    > What the embrace of Loomer suggests is that Trump is intent on running a campaign by and for the true believers.

    > In other words: Trump allies like Greene could be upset at Loomer not because she's racist but because her particular brand of racist advice will hurt MAGA at the ballot box.

  7. Isn’t that the lady that’s banned from every rideshare service because she couldn’t stop being racist to the drivers?

    Edit: wait, holy shit, she’s *also* the lady who handcuffed herself to the Twitter office building because they banned her account.

    I feel like I’m pretty in the know when it comes to these right wing weirdos but I genuinely have no idea who this is. The first time I heard of Laura Loomer was when I heard she was on Trump’s debate team on Monday

  9. Victor_Von_Noob on

    Is this the lady who shit herself while drunk? Or am I thinking of another right wing Laura?

  10. Zealousideal_Bad_922 on

    Low key I think she runs trumps truth social account. 60 posts in an hour would be a stretch for what we saw at the debate last night

  11. First off, I love curry.
    That said, Loomer is a perfect match for trump, bringing out their “best” inherent qualities.
    MTG is just jealous, because SHE should be the main MAGA hooch

  12. MTG is one of the most obnoxious, bigoted slime bags in the GOP and even she thinks Loomer is a racist POS.

  13. TheTeenageOldman on

    Seriously, Republicans, haven’t you had enough? You want to keep traveling this ridiculous road?

  14. All she needed was this 15 minutes of fame. Mission accomplished…now she’s bona fide! But still not allowed in Woolworths

  15. Prestigious-Car-4877 on

    There is literally only one possible way this woman has been suddenly forced upon us all.

    Gross.

    That POS said the White House would smell like curry if Harris is elected. She has the mind of a degenerate and the maturity of a child. So fucking racist. If I hear anybody say otherwise I will literally slap them in the face. I despise her.

    As funny and disgusting as this is, is there anyway we can actually bring this to light to the general public any quicker? Obviously his die hard won’t care but I’m sure there’s a small subset of his voters that are one more major revelation short of not voting for him, and every little bit helps. A lot of MAGAs love Melania and for a confirmation that he’s having an affair right before the election would be absolutely beautiful. Is there a way we can fast track this disaster out to the populace?

  18. DevlishAdvocate on

    We all know the most likely reason he’s keeping her around is because she’s letting him bang her.

    And that’s just disgusting from every angle.

  19. MTG is just upset Trump found another girl to schtup. This is the mean girls phase of high school.

  20. First Vance, now Loomer. The personnel choices being made.

    It’s almost as if he’s sabotaging his own campaign so he can blame others later when he loses.
