Nothing Compares to U2

wld be fun for politicians to go on pods that cater to their interests like if theyre super into game of thrones or chess

Cocaine & Rhinestones

Laura Loomer looks like a caricature of Laura Loomer

The Roger Stone/Laura Loomer association seems to be its own weird thing

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/roger-stone-sperm-offering-laura-loomer-b1955341.html

Political consultant, lobbyist, and Donald Trump ally Roger Stone made a particularly unexpected proclamation on social media on Tuesday when he offered to donate sperm to fellow conservative firebrand Laura Loomer.

“Since I don’t have a biological heir and because the freedom movement needs future warriors I am going to freeze some of my sperm in case Laura Loomer decides to bear my child sometime in the future,” Mr Stone posted on his verified Gab account.

Since I don’t have a biological heir

maybe this is for the best

I wonder if it was DIY sperm freezing, i.e. a film canister behind the Eggo waffles

huh

How do these people just get weirder and weirder

Maybe we're just getting more normal?

is Stone the one with the giant Nixon back tattoo?

Well, there you go

Laura Loomer's child would absolutely not grow up to be a "warrior" for the "freedom movement" I can guarantee you that

looks like Janice, while having totally inverse personalities

1000%

okay loomer

Kind of crazy that one of Loomer's early stunts was jumping on the Shakespeare in the Park stage to prevent the assassination of the Trump-like Julius Caesar, and now she's hanging out with Trump while people are actually trying to assassinate him.

Stone has the Nixon tattoo and looks like Pinhead from Freaks from the side.

Et tu, Tay-Tay?

Stone hosts/attends orgies, surely somewhere along the line is a little Zippy.

see like this is the shit that needs to be pointed at. Roger Stone is one of Trump's main righthand men and he's offering to impregnate a mentally imbalanced Nazi lady who for some reason has been palling around Trump as of late to the point where people are thinking they're having an affair. you'd never want people like that to make a serious decision for you and Trump is promising to staff the federal government with nothing BUT people like that. you vote for these freaks then you're one of them.

I lament the death of the editor

The city has been rocked over the last week by repeated bomb threats, school evacuations, the shuddering of one local college which has moved to remote study.

There’s precedent for this. On September 5th, 1975 a Charles Manson follower named Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme” tried to shoot President Ford. She pointed a gun directly at Ford’s face when he was out in public before a Secret Service agent grabbed her arm and disarmed her. Two weeks later on September 22nd, 1975 Sara Jane Moore, an accountant and a divorced mother of four fired a .38 pistol at Trump but missed. Moore was on the radar of San Francisco police as a possible threat to Ford and had a history of psychiatric issues.

we need more time traveling assassins

Things have gone so far off the rails lately, RFK’s adventures with dead bears and whales already feel like a minor footnote.

overheard a guy at the gas station talking about the attempt he said it was actually the third cause there was a secret one by iran that theyre not telling you about

that one was successful

I'm slowly getting used to it, DJP. I can tell because I don't flinch as hard as I once did.

I thought they actually were planning to lol

That moron Yashir Ali was speculating that it was an Iranian special forces attempt in the brief period yesterday when no one knew who the guy was.

ehh

i'm more fascinated by the contortions they're going through to justify the lies about Haitians migrants, some real Kenobi "from a certain point of view" shit.

if that's what they're talking about, he lost me with geese stuff.

Now the lie is "Vance is just the conduit for concerned citizens."

it's really ugly, clearly it was Nazi-type propaganda aimed at making an entire race look like inhuman savages but none of these guys can just straight up say "yeah it's made up" even though we all know it was, instead they need to flail around on TV figuring out exactly how far they need to crank the racism dial to take the heat off without offending Trump

Of course the media is obsessed with whether Vance made up the dogs and cats stories rather talking about how insane it is for a US Senator to be attacking a group of his constituents based on their ethnicity.

Vance keeps saying he's "responding to constituents," any communication from constituents would be public record, someone should make him produce the emails or letters or whatever. (Except he probably can't because they don't exist.)

not everything we claim is true, but it could be true, and that's what matters

he has been doing the job of elected official with a constituency for ONE YEAR and already he is spewing racist lies about...his constituents

Gov DeWine has been pretty forceful in his defense of the Springfield Haitians, to his credit

Dana Bash is getting credit for challenging Vance but I wish she had done more. There’s an interview in The NY Times and a filmed one elsewhere with a Springfield factory head praising his Haitian workers . Bash never asked Vance about those constituents. She let him say unsubstantiated lies about health issues also without challenging him really on that . She also never spelled out the benefits of immigrants who are working there and are paying taxes , and made him address those positives.

Maybe Dana Bash is mediocre

It's funny how so much of cable news "journalists"' job involves knowing what questions not to ask.
