The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Subject: Laura Loomer: The Face of the New GOP

A sh1t-stirrer and right-wing provocateur, Laura Loomer has wormed her way into the Trump inner circle, recently traveling with Trump on Trump Force One (or is it the recommissioned Lolita Express?).

Loomer is a failed congressional candidate and self-identified Islamophobe (she was kicked off Twitter for it years ago before Leon, um, Elon Musk reinstated her) who has called Kamala Harris “a drug using prostitute,” and has said that the reason Harris doesn’t have biological children is because “she’s had so many abortions that she damaged her uterus.”

Loomer has been under attack by Marjorie Taylor Greene for being too crazy for MAGA (is that even possible?) and Lindsey Graham said Loomer is “just really toxic.”

Loomer responded by criticizing the Greene for having affairs that led to her divorce, and comparing her to a “hooker.” Loomer said that Graham should “come out of the closet.”

But it's clear that the National Republican Senatorial Committee — the GOP’s official campaign arm for the upper chamber — has increasingly relied on the video content Loomer produces. Since July, the NRSC has promoted eight of Loomer’s videos featuring her “reporters” who shout loaded questions from the street at Democratic senators up for re-election in battleground races.

Clearly, they like her messaging.

We should see shortly who has DonOld's ear: Loomer or Greene and Graham.

Dumb or Dumber.
