Loomer, for her part, fired back by tweeting that Graham is disloyal to Trump and a closeted gay man, while attacking Greene as antisemitic and mocking the circumstances of her divorce.

I love watching their infighting.

Do it, Donald. You knowwww you want to. And what Donald wants, Donald gets (to sink his campaign even further)

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

She's worse than nuts. She's a fucking asshole on the verge getting undue power.

He keeps Stephen Miller around, trust this idiot's friends will not convince him to dump her until she makes him look so bad even he realizes it

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 21 points 4 days ago (4 children)

If MAGA Republicans don’t like her, then you know she is bad.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If all I knew about her was that magats hate her, I'd assume she's awesome.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Well within context of course.

Following the antics of 45 Skidoo is exhausting.

I thought he was with Hope Hicks, and then learned she'd thrown him under the bus at the NYC fraud trial.

Meanwhile, Melania is sitting with a ghost writer and trying to decide who she wants to play her in the movie version.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (8 children)

Who should play her, do you think?

Too bad Bruce Willis is in such bad shape these days.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you're doing a serious drama Nicole Kidman or Sandra Bullock.

Comedy Drama? Tina Fey

Full comedy? Melissa McCarthy or Amy Schumer [because it would make the real Melania's head explode]

She probably has borderline personality disorder. It'd be a good idea to remove her from society, keep her somewhere that she can't spread lies that get people lynched.

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Suffering from BPD doesn't make you a racist piece of shit.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah... Weird claim to make based on this. As someone who dated a girl who was later diagnosed with BPD, she was a lot of things... But racism has nothing to do with it.

Still haven't fully recovered from that relationship though. Shit is brutal.

I didn't think he was having an affair with Laura Loomer until he basically insisted he wasn't as an answer to an unrelated question.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 47 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (5 children)

Maybe he just thinks he had an affair with her because he daydreamed while he was schlackin' it on the toilet. Who knows what's going on in that diseased brain at this point.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 42 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You broke my magic streak of never having had a mental picture of trump masturbating. I didn't know how special that was until it was gone, and now I want it back.

[–] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

Don't sweat it, he probably smacked his stubby little pud around until getting so frustrated by his erectile dysfunction he angry posted to social media about how he won the debate.

His little Cheeto shaped pud.

Just like the cognitive tests. No one asked him how he did on the cognitive tests, heck no one can find out how he actually did thanks to HIPAA. But he obvously has no understanding of that so he thinks he needs to get ahead of the story of how terribly he did on the cognitive tests.

Laura Loomer is dreaming big. She wants one day to be buried under a golf course in New Jersey.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Everything is legal in New Jersey.

I'd also like to add she's dumb as a rock, just in case anyone missed that.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 34 points 5 days ago

Truly a match made in heaven.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (2 children)

She must be crazier than a shithouse rat if MAGA won't accept her.

[–] 2pt_perversion@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (3 children)

On twitter yesterday I saw some MAGA people discussing that she was "right" but it's bad optics for the more moderate republicans so she should be distanced until after the election. They accept her.

I wish some sports journalists I follow would move off twitter so I could drop it completely.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 5 points 4 days ago

Sports and celebrity bullshit are the only things keeping Twitter afloat. They all need to move to threads or bluesky, because let’s be honest, they aren’t going to mastodon.

There’s some bridges where you can follow Twitter or Mastodon/BlueSky accounts (or probably anyone) on your preferred service. You can’t interact, obviously, but if you’re just following reporters for news or whatever, you can get a read-only type feed.

Lmao hold the fucking phone guys. THIS is what does it? THIS is a bridge too far…?

Honestly, I don’t get it, but I’ll try not to overthink it.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Honestly... My first thought is that it might be about the gender of the messenger...

"and then Trump finally lost because he committed the mortal sin of adultery which angered God, the end."

That's the story magats are going to tell to future generations.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Am I imagining things, but has anyone else noticed that there doesn't seem to be a clear picture of who she is? Like she'll be taking a professional shoot, and somehow, she still doesn't look recognizable?

Ignoring the exaggerated plastic surgery and attention seeking hair style and new level of stupid, there's something uncanny about her.

Like if you told me she was an automatonric puppet I'd say yeah, id believe you, because I've seen better ones at Disney world.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

She's the real lizard people republicans are afraid of!

[–] gencha@lemm.ee 11 points 4 days ago

Every other MAGA article I read, someone mentions skin suits. Vance has no fucking idea what a donut is, cares only about glaze. The Trump offspring shooting big cats on a safari, having more chins than should be possible with skin attached to muscle. Trump looks like he'll pop in half any second and a dozen alien clowns spill out of him. What is it with these tiny fucking hands on that lump? Rudi sweats black. These people are so fucking weird.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Trump wants her close cuz she touches his pipi.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Do it. Don't listen to the RHINOs telling you not to, this I'd the best idea ever.

Honestly though, besides positively reinforcing every pathology he has, she's probably also literally shining his... ... ...butt.

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

laura loomer and donald trump have dominated the headlines, for the simple reason people can't stop posting about it. it's their only plan. it's how they keep harris and waltz below the fold, it's their only fucking plan. stop helping them.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

Disagree. This needs to be the story. This needs to be even more the story than it is now.
