NJ.com: Trump whisperer [Laura “Looney” Loomer] makes dire prediction about future of GOP

Posted on by

Far-right activist Laura Loomer has an ominous outlook about the state of the Republican Party once President Donald Trump finishes his second term.

In a post on X on Tuesday, Loomer — who has been dubbed as an “instrument” of the president — predicted that she doesn’t think the GOP is “going to survive post-Trump.”

“There’s too many conflicting personalities trying to jockey for the mantle to MAGA, and none of them have what it takes to be Trump’s successor,” Loomer wrote.

“We are witnessing the end of a future post-MAGA movement as we know it because everyone inside the ‘big tent’ the GOP forced on us realizes that hate each other,” she continued.

Loomer’s post comes as she finds herself at the center of a firestorm with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), another close ally of Trump.

The feud between the two erupted after Loomer criticized the Army for recognizing Medal of Honor recipient Florent Groberg, who saved the lives of fellow soldiers from a suicide bomber in Afghanistan, resulting in catastrophic injuries.

Loomer claimed that Groberg was a Democrat who has “campaigned against Trump,” and added that he was not a “US born soldier,” despite Groberg becoming a naturalized citizen in 2001. Greene shot back on Monday, calling her a “coward” and saying that she has “ZERO respect or reverence for even the most heroic people in America.”

The jabs, however, quickly became personal. Loomer went on to call Greene a “lying fake Christian wh—” and “probably the dumbest b—- in Congress” after the congresswoman said “she psychotically turns on everyone,” including Trump’s most ardent supporters.

“Like I said before, @RepMTG’s claims about me on X yesterday are completely unhinged, deceitful, and rooted in jealousy,” Loomer wrote on Tuesday, adding “She started to hate me as soon as I started being recognized for my work in support of Trump. That’s when she went from calling me her friend to calling me a foreign spy.”

Her prediction was met with mixed reactions on social media — with many floating Vice President JD Vance as a successor.

“I really hate seeing the infighting, bums me out, though I understand the passion on both sides,” one user replied, adding that Vance “has pleasantly surprised me more than anyone else in the Trump administration…”

Another user asked: “If anyone has it, it’s JD Vance. Do you disagree?”

“How about find 3 optimistic things to post about for every one negative post. All your negativity is exhausting!” a different user said.

Trump last week had described Vance as the next “most likely” GOP leader. Vance has been floated as a potential contender for the 2028 presidential election as numerous recent polls list him as the clear frontrunner in the Republican Party.

Since Trump took office, Loomer has used her prominence on social media to expose figures in Trump’s administration that she sees as disloyal, such as digging up their old social media posts and sifting through their past political donations. She has claimed credit for a number of firings, including a senior Customs and Border Protection official.

Poor Looney Loomer — dumb as sh*t and not cute enough to qualify as one of King Donald’s bimbos — lamenting the demise of MAGA that a couple idiots of her low caliber are largely responsible for. Please keep doing what your doing! You’re cheap entertainment and always good for a few pathetic laughs.

Mediaite: The 5 Wildest Moments From Laura Loomer’s Rollercoaster Bill Maher Defamation Case Deposition

Posted on by
Reply

Laura Loomer recently sat for a deposition pertaining to her defamation lawsuit against HBO’s Bill Maher, who suggested Loomer might be having an affair with President Donald Trump in September of last year after Loomer accompanied Trump to his one and only presidential debate with Kamala Harris.

It went how you might expect.

LOOMER WAS OFFERED A JOB BY DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF IN 2023

According to Loomer, a self-styled white nationalist who has celebrated the drowning deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, Trump himself tried to hire her to work on his campaign back in 2023.

“I was actually told that I was going to be working for President Trump when he hired me in his office in March of 2023 during a private meeting with him and Susie Wiles at Mar-a-Lago. And this was during the primary. And President Trump had actually instructed Susie to onboard me to do research, and — research — yeah — research for — and perhaps assist with communications
as well, in the primary,” explained Loomer, who said a New York Times story about her ended up sinking her chances of landing a job with the campaign. “And the president was very impressed by just how well-versed I was. And he was very impressed by my reporting and my understanding of political affairs. And so he said that he wanted to hire me on the spot, even though it was not a job interview.”

…AND THEN AGAIN IN 2024

After being asked if she had ever been offered a job by Trump or members of his staff again, Loomer answered in the affirmative, recalling that Trump had told her “You’re coming to D.C. with me” and that she “had conversations with Susie Wiles that I would have a position at the White House after the election if — if President Trump won.”

“I was promised a position multiple times, not just by President Trump, but also, by Susie Wiles,” she asserted.

LOOMER FORESAW A LUCRATIVE MEDIA CAREER AFTER SERVING TRUMP

After serving Trump in the White House, Loomer believed she would be well set-up to enjoy a cushy, lucrative media career — perhaps on TV.

Check out this exchange between Loomer and HBO lawyer Katherine Bolger:

BOLGER: So other than your claim that the reporting about your response to Mr. Maher stopped you from traveling on the airplane and you say getting a job in administration, is there any other financial damage that was caused by Bill Maher reporting?

LOOMER: As I said before, I would have been paid much more than I was making previously. And who knows what I could have parlayed having that on my resume into in the future. There are people that go on who work for administrations who get to go work at boards. There’s people that get to have foundations. They get to go work in future administrations. They get to, you know, get paid for speaking engagements once they leave their official role with the federal government. You don’t know. You know, there’s people that write books. They — there’s people that get to go become Fox News contributors. They become contributors on mainstream media. Look at — look at somebody like Jen Psaki or Karine Jean-Pierre, for example. You know, they both have shows. Karine Jean-Pierre just announced a book deal today. So when you work for an administration, once the person is out of office, or once you’re done with your job, you know, that could parlay into a lot of speculative opportunities

BOLGER: Speculative opportunities —

LOOMER: It’s not speculative. It’s — it — it really is — it’s compounding, is what it is. It’s compounding damages. It’s punitive damages.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND ARBY’S

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Loomer recently reignited their feud, which began last September when Loomer suggested that the White House would “smell like curry” if Harris defeated Trump in a post on X.

“This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA. This does not represent President Trump. This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever,” declared Greene in a quote tweet of Loomer.

Loomer responded by mocking Greene for her infidelity and referencing “the Arby’s in your pants.” That led to the following discussion between her and Bolger in their deposition:

BOLGER: Can you explain to me what it means to say to her that “the Arby’s in her pants”?

LARRY KLAYMAN, LAURA LOOMER’S ATTORNEY: Objection. Relevancy.

BOLGER: Answer the question.

LOOMER: Arby’s sells roast beef.

BOLGER: Right. Can you tell me what — why you were talking about “the Arby’s in her pants”?

LOOMER: Well, it’s just a — an expression.

BOLGER: What is the expression trying to convey?

LOOMER: It conveys the reason why she got a divorce by her own admission.

BOLGER: Because she had roast beef in her pants?

LOOMER: Yeah.

BOLGER: She’d put roast beef in her pants; that’s what you’re trying to say there? You’re literally saying she put Arby’s in her pants?

LOOMER: I’m saying she literally — it’s so ridiculous. I’m saying she literally put Arby’s in her pants. Yes.

KLAYMAN: Objection. Relevancy.

It went on like that for some time.

‘YOU’RE A COWARD’

At one point, Bolger attempted to get Loomer to admit that she was talking about Harris’s vagina when she tweeted that Harris had an “infested snatch,” but Loomer refused, causing Bolger to blow up on her:

BOLGER: You wrote a sentence saying she had an “infested snatch”; what is your basis?

LOOMER: I don’t know what I was referring to, honestly. I could be referring to Kamala Harris, herself.

BOLGER: What? Of course, you’re referring to Kamala Harris.

LOOMER: Yeah. I’m talking about Kamala Harris herself.

BOLGER: You’re talking about her body; you’re talking about her vagina?

LOOMER: No. I’m just talking about Kamala Harris.

BOLGER: Well, a snatch is a vagina; isn’t it?

LOOMER: It’s up for interpretation.

…

BOLGER: You wrote — stop talking. You wrote a tweet that says that Kamala Harris had an “infested snatch.” Now, be the First Amendment warrior you claim to be and admit that you were saying that the vice president of the United States had an infested vagina. Admit it. Because that’s what you were doing, and everybody knows it.

KLAYMAN: Let’s say it.

LOOMER: This is coercion. You just told me to stop talking. I’m not going to talk. I’m not going to be coerced. You’re — you’re asking me to say something —

BOLGER: God. You’re a coward.

LOOMER: that isn’t true. I’m not a coward.

BOLGER: You’re a coward; you won’t even admit to what you did.

LOOMER: I’m not a coward. I’m just not going to be —

BOLGER: Ms. First Amendment warrior won’t admit it.

DNYUZ: Fuming Loomer Goes Nuclear on Marjorie Taylor Greene in All-Night Attack

Posted on by

Laura Loomer is out for blood.

The far-right provocateur has gone after her fellow MAGA Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene with a level of vitriol that is striking even by Loomer standards, calling the lawmaker a “rabid dog” and a “lying fake Christian whore.”

“This is a woman who allowed her sexual impulses to tear her family apart,” Loomer, 32, wrote in a social media post. “She wants to now tear our country apart to try to steal [President Donald] Trump’s movement away from him. Don’t let this home wrecker become a country homewrecker.”

“Go find a chair to hump like the dog in heat you’ve always been,” Loomer added.

Several hours later, she posted a follow-up calling Greene, 51, a “lying fake Christian whore” and “one dumb b—-.”

Look in the mirror, dingbat! The “dumb b—-” shoe fits you, too. You are two birds of a feather.

The tirades were in response to a post from Greene accusing Loomer of “viciously attacking” and lying about Trump’s “most original MAGA supporters.”

“She has no long-time relationships because she psychotically turns on everyone,” Greene wrote. “Laura Loomer is the most unstable person and worst liability to ever walk in the Oval Office.”

The fighting began after Loomer stunned some of her own supporters by ranting against the military’s decision to celebrate a Medal of Honor recipient, former U.S. Army Capt. Florent Groberg, on social media.

Greene then told Loomer to “shut up” and accused her of working on behalf of a foreign government or intelligence agency, causing Loomer to go full scorched earth and accuse Greene of “getting bent over backwards inside the gym by every man who isn’t your husband.”

It takes a tramp to know a tramp? I love a good cat fight!

She attached a 2021 Daily Mail article reporting that Greene cheated on her then-husband, Perry Greene, with a “polyamorous tantric sex guru” as well as a gym manager in the early 2010s.

Greene, a self-proclaimed Christian nationalist who regularly promotes weather manipulation conspiracy theories, previously denied the allegations, calling them “ridiculous tabloid garbage” and “another attempt to smear my name” in a statement to the Mail. She and Perry divorced in 2022.

Both women have tried to used their proximity to Trump as evidence of their MAGA bonafides, though Loomer—a self-described Islamophobe who has called 9/11 an “inside job”—has never held an official role with the administration.

She has, however, taken it upon herself to “vet” administration officials, pushing Trump to oust anyone she deems “disloyal” to the president—a definition that includes non-partisan career civil servants who also happened to serve under Democratic administrations.

Trump has tried to downplay her influence, but has fired more than a dozen of her targets since March. Loomer has also clashed with fellow MAGA influencers like Tucker Carlson, though not with the viciousness of her feud with Greene.

The post Fuming Loomer Goes Nuclear on Marjorie Taylor Greene in All-Night Attack appeared first on The Daily Beast.

Looney Loomer is one of King Donald’s shining intellectuals?

MSNBC: Laura Loomer’s White House witch hunt is just getting started

Posted on by

The far-right conspiracy theorist has taken credit for numerous high-level firings over what she claims is “disloyalty” to President Trump.

A self-described “proud Islamophobe” and “pro-white nationalism” influencer is one of the most influential people in the Trump White House — despite not actually working for the administration. And she’s brought a particularly odious form of cancel culture to President Donald Trump’s second term that’s led to well over a dozen White House and federal employees recently fired for wrongthink.

Laura Loomer, 32, is known as much for her overt racism as her peddling of evidence-free conspiracy theories — such as 9/11 was an “inside job,” the Parkland high school shooting was staged, and Ohio was being overrun by “cannibalistic Haitians” who were “eating people’s pets.” Loomer has been described by many news outlets as a personal friend and confidant of Trump’s, and she’s fond of bragging about the “scalps” she’s collected, referring to the former White House and federal employees she successfully targeted for firing.

James Risen, writing in The Guardian, noted that Loomer’s critics insist “she has just been taking credit for moves that Trump was already planning,” but added that “Trump himself has said he takes her seriously, so it may be more accurate to describe her as Trump’s de facto national security adviser.”

Loomer has also referred to herself as Trump’s “loyalty enforcer,” and she has just added a few more “scalps” to her collection.

The Daily Wire — a right-wing partisan site co-founded by MAGA pundit Ben Shapiro — reported that National Security Agency general counsel April Falcon Doss had previously worked for Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., on the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak called her a “transparently partisan activist who has written publicly about her opposition to Trump.” As evidence, Rosiak cited Doss’ call “for Trump to be permanently banned from social media for staging an ‘insurrection.’”

Loomer told The New York Times that she “reposted a tweet that exposed her last week and flagged it for the right people.” Doss was fired last week.

Another civil servant recently “Loomer’d” is Jen Easterly, a former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), who had her job offer to serve as the distinguished chair of the Military Academy at West Point’s social sciences department rescinded by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. Loomer earlier this week called Easterly’s job offer a “vetting crisis” and later boasted that “All Biden holdovers must be removed from the Trump admin.”

Loomer has taken credit for at least a dozen other “scalps” for “disloyalty” — including federal prosecutors, directors and aides on the National Security Council and even Trump’s original surgeon general nominee, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, because of her support for the Covid vaccines that Trump helped bring into existence in his first term.

But one of the most striking Loomer-influenced cancellations is the resignation of Dr. Vinay Prasad from his roles as the Food and Drug Administration’s head of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and chief medical and scientific officer.

Prasad — an acolyte of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who made a name for himself during the Covid pandemic by blasting the FDA and other health agencies on social media, podcasts and his blog — was only on the job a little more than two months. But he made his MAHA mark when he overrode the FDA’s vaccine experts’ recommendations on two Covid vaccines, which led directly to the FDA announcing its plan to only recommend Covid shots for people over 65 or with high-risk health conditions.

But Prasad was not spared from MAGA cancel culture, after Loomer dug up some old podcast clips where Prasad was critical of Trump. In a classic case of people supporting the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party being shocked that the leopards subsequently ate their faces, the MAGA-friendly and cancel culture-obsessed Free Press (where Prasad has been a contributing writer) published an editorial decrying Loomer’s “shameful smear campaign against our honorable, decent friend.”

Loomer told Politico that she expects “hundreds” more to be purged for disloyalty to the dear leader. And Loomer is soliciting snitches via an anonymous tip line.

“I’m happy to take people’s tips about disloyal appointees, disloyal staffers and Biden holdovers,” Loomer said. “And I guess you could say that my tip line has come to serve as a form of therapy for Trump administration officials who want to expose their colleagues who should not be in the positions that they’re in.”

We’re a little more than one-eighth of the way through the second Trump administration, and one of its defining features is that it is led by astoundingly unqualified people whose raison d’etat is ruthlessly enforcing ideological orthodoxy and slavish devotion to the president, rather than the country and the Constitution.

And whether you previously worked for people Trump doesn’t like, or you told the objective truth about Trump’s attempted self-coup, or even if you previously criticized him before turning MAGA sycophant, your job is not safe from being eliminated at the behest of a person who during the 2024 election made comments about Vice President Kamala Harris that were so unimpeachably racist they even drew rebukes from loyal Trumpists JD Vance and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Trump’s election was widely seen as a rebuke against the excesses of left-wing cancel culture. But the Loomering of the federal government shows we probably haven’t seen the worst of MAGA cancel culture yet.

When the Trump dictatorship decides to reenact the Night of the Long Knives, Laura will be running the show.

Alternet: A cult leader shows how Trump is taking America to a very dark place

Posted on by

Former FBI agent Michael Fienberg has gone public, pointing out that the agency, under the leadership of Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, is purging itself of people who are not members of the Trump cult (my phrase, not his).

Similar cult-like behavior is on vivid display with the White House press secretary, the head of DHS, and the head of the Department of Justice — among numerous other administration officials and elected Republicans — regularly spouting lies and half-truths that target women, immigrants, and Democrats.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is implying that the children who died in the Texas floods were the victims of a nefarious plot — presumably by Democrats or Jews who operate space lasers — to modify the weather, completely ignoring the fact that Republican-aligned fossil fuel billionaires have been engaged in a half-century-long scheme to sabotage our atmosphere with their carbon dioxide emissions in exchange for trillions of dollars in profits. Some of which, no doubt, have been shared with Greene or her campaign.

Multiple administration officials, elected Republicans, and rightwing media cult leaders on platforms like Fox “News” have been amplifying the racist, antisemitic “Great Replacement Theory,” that wealthy Jews are paying to “replace” white people in America with Blacks, Mexicans, and other people of color. This has led to ICE becoming the largest police force in America, with a budget larger than that of the entire Russian military, soon to be sweeping a neighborhood near you in their never-ending hunt for brown-skinned people.

Donald Trump didn’t need to lure his followers into a remote jungle, like Jim Jones did in Guyana. He didn’t need to physically isolate them from the rest of the world. Instead, Trump built his Jonestown right here at home, within the boundaries of our republic, brick by brick. He did it using over 30,000 documented lies, fear, rage, and the intoxicating promise of belonging.

Today, tens of millions of Americans are trapped inside Trump’s reality-warping cult. And just as Jones’ followers drank poisoned Kool-Aid believing it was salvation, Trump’s followers have swallowed his Big Lies and are now willing to sacrifice our Constitution, our democracy, and our future on the altar of one man’s insatiable ego.

This is an old story in new packaging….

Newsweek: Trump’s most favorable pollster warns it could be “all over for MAGA”

President Donald Trump‘s most favorable pollster has warned that it could be “all over for MAGA” if the president gets the United States more deeply involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel.

“Kiss the Republican majority goodbye… For the next decade,” Rich Baris, the director of Big Data Poll, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “If he pulls the trigger, it’s all over for MAGA.”

I seriously doubt that Trump has the brains to step back from brink. On the plus side, perhaps we’ll be rid of him sooner than 2029.

Esquire: Somehow Republicans Are Defending Kristi Noem After the Forceful Removal of Senator Alex Padilla

Posted on by

I thought assaulting someone holding federal office was a crime. Not anymore, apparently.

So, apparently we’re bum-rushing US senators now. From The Guardian:

In video taken of the incident that has since gone viral on social media, Padilla is seen being restrained and removed from the room by Secret Service agents.“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,” Padilla shouts, as he struggles to move past the men removing him from the premises. “Hands off!” he says at one point.Emerging afterward, Padilla, who is the ranking member of the judiciary subcommittee on immigration, citizenship and border safety, said he and his colleagues had repeatedly asked DHS for more information on its “increasingly extreme immigration enforcement actions” but had not received a response to his inquiries.

This tinhorn governor of a state where nobody lives, this puppy-murdering hack whose political career outside of MAGA World was as dead as Custer, now gets to sic her black-shirted thugs on the senior senator of a state that she and her criminal boss and all their attendant lords have been lying about, and about which she had flown to Los Angeles to lie about some more.

Dumbass in a ballcap says what? She just admitted they’re blowing up the town to get rid of the mayor and governor. If the courts ever get their teeth back, this gaffe will figure prominently in many filings.

Meanwhile, Padilla is hauled into a backroom and driven to the floor and handcuffed.

And not for nothing, but threatening and/or assaulting the holder of any federal office is a felony and could draw you five to ten in the pokey. And these goons are pretty identifiable.

And, of course, the administration’s prevarication mill went into full operation almost instantly. From The New Republic via Yahoo:

In posts on X, the official DHS account and Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin released a statement attempting to justify wrestling Padilla to the ground and handcuffing him. “Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem,” the statement read.

Tricia learned to lie like this at the AEI’s Leadership Institute.

But in a video of the altercation from Padilla’s office, the senator could be heard clearly identifying himself. “Hands off! I’m Senator Alex Padilla, and I have questions for the secretary,” said the California Democrat as a security guard pushed him out of the room.

It’s clear that the goons looked at him and just saw another angry brown face. And by their reactions, Tricia and her boss are similarly afflicted.

This is also all my bollocks. Noem knows who Padilla is and, if she doesn’t, she should, and he did identify himself. Third-rate hack with a fourth-rate alibi.

And what about Speaker Moses? What did you expect?

That sanctimonious sumbitch wants Padilla censured. And he spent the afternoon hiding. If he’s a Christian, I’m an Ostrogoth.

The day was not without its burlesque, however. In a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Maxwell Frost asked Chairman James (Jughead) Comer to issue a subpoena for Noem regarding the events of the day. Comer, of course, refused, probably because Padilla was not carrying Hunter Biden’s laptop at the time. And then we were off.

Guardian: US police officer resigns after wrongfully arresting undocumented teen

Posted on by
Reply

A Georgia police officer resigned from his job on Friday after erroneously pulling over a teenager, causing her to spend more than two weeks in a federal immigration jail, and leaving her facing deportation.

The officer, Leslie O’Neal, was employed at the police department in Dalton, a small city more than an hour north of Atlanta.

His arrest of college student Ximena Arias-Cristobal not only led to a domino effect that could lead to her deportation – it also engendered anger and criticism, especially given the circumstances of her immigration-related detention.

Though Dalton’s municipal government did not provide any information about why O’Neal resigned, his wife posted his resignation letter on Facebook, which said he believed the local police department did not adequately defend him.

Why should they defend him? He made a mistake that is turning that poor girl’s life upside down. If he can’t take the heat, he should get out of the fire, which apparently he’s done. 🙂

And I have no sympathy for cops who destroy other people lives with their “mistakes”. Screw them!

“The department’s silence in the face of widespread defamation has not only made my position personally untenable but has also created an environment where I can no longer effectively carry out my duties within the city of Dalton without fear of further backlash from the community,” O’Neal wrote in the letter.

But I’m curious: How did she get a Mexican driver’s license? I doubt she’s crossing the border for driver training, road test, etc. How would Mexico know she’s qualified to drive?

Huffington Post: Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Over Here Fighting With An AI Bot About God

When the congresswoman posted to her personal account a list of her attributes — Christian faith foremost among them — another X user asked Grok if she really can be considered a Christian. 

The bot offered an evenhanded reply.

“Whether she’s ‘really’ a Christian is subjective, depending on personal and theological views. Her faith appears genuine to her, but public actions create controversy,” it said, in part. 

Said Marjorie:

“When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost.”

She at least got that one right. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Another user asked Grok for a yes or no answer on whether Greene’s public comments and voting record align with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

“No,” it said.
