What an absolute vile piece of shit Laura Loomer is. When people have ideologies like this, are in a position of power or influence, and are brazenly outspoken about their bigotry and xenophobia, all chance of peaceful coexistence is lost. This isn’t just a comment of mild disagreement… this is straight up, hate filled toxicity and, “you the people”, probably should democratically get rid of her.

Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist close to Trump, said the ICSD should be raided by the FBI and immigration authorities.

She shared a 2023 social media post by the wife of the mosque’s imam, accusing Israel of killing children.

“The mosque that was ‘supposedly’ shot up today,” Loomer wrote in an accompanying post. “Just remember the people who attend this mosque want us all to be killed.”

Burnt lips and the bad taste sure are worth the experience though. But yeah… the taste was gnarly

I don’t have any skin in this fight, and the dude is totally right…. But I’d bet a few bucks that the reporter was moving on from the voxpop because the two of them would have probably had a quick chat before the live cross to gauge his ability to be succinct and hold an opinion, and it could have started to go in a direction that may have thrown her. I would also take a guess that she probably felt that he was going to go waaaay of script and say something that could put the network in hot water. Fuck her in the pussy, Trump is a pedo. I like turtles…. There’s a bit of risk management for a live cross that she would have been mindful of.

But then again… who knows?

The firearm culture, and how normalised it is.

I went into a Walgreens in Chicago, and waited in line behind two other people. There was a cashier free but the person in front of the line was waiting to be called. The guy behind the person in front politely said, “ma’am, the cashier is free” ‘I’m waiting to be called” was the response.

So the guy behind her just walked past her, and she pushed him and said, “Careful buddy, you’ll get shot for doing something like that”

I was taken aback at how quickly a simple discourtesy escalated to shooting someone. It just blew my mind that shooting someone over queue jumping was verbalised, and seemingly normal to each other.
