Far-right commentator Laura Loomer is going on an anti-Republican tirade after reportedly being banned from traveling with former President Donald Trump.

The conspiracy theorist, who traveled with Trump to his recent presidential debate before appearing at a 9/11 event, stirred anger among Republicans who feel her presence is a detriment to the campaign.

Trump initially responded to the backlash by telling reporters that he "didn't control Laura," dubbing her a "free spirit."

But with Loomer seemingly unable to keep her outrageous and offensive remarks to herself---and with Trump reportedly receiving numerous phone calls from concerned advisors and donors---the far-right provocateur, according to the Washington Post, was ultimately barred from regularly traveling with Trump.

Not only that, Trump is said to have privately described Loomer as "crazy" to those close to him.

Don’t be fooled. If Trump gets elected, she’s getting a cabinet position and all GOP lackeys will fall in line. We have seen this movie in 2017. Mark my words.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 95 points 2 months ago

She is Steven Miller with blowjobs. Her position is safe.

[-] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 61 points 2 months ago

Bold of you to assume Steven Miller didn’t put out

His head is nice and shiny, so Trump can see his reflection when he looks down.

At least Stormy got paid.

She can't believe this is her reward for slurping.

She got to eat some dog food, which is...um...nice?

Just keep talking.

and tell us what you really think of Melania, JD Vance, and DeSantis!

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 114 points 2 months ago

Melania is heartbroken over this.

If Loomer had managed to get a ring Melania's pre-nup would have kicked in and she's be rolling in it.

I’m pretty sure this is code for “she gave me a handie”

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 51 points 2 months ago

One source--a very questionable source--is claiming an affair and/or oral sex. I think that any candidate under that much scrutiny would be an idiot if they had a sexual affair while on the campaign trail, but this is Trump we're talking about. He's not exactly known for having good impulse control.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 34 points 2 months ago

We already know the candidate is an idiot, so by the transitive property, he hit it and quit it as soon as the heat turned on.

That’s the problem, they never seem to run out of shitheads who want to eat each other, but never seem to finish the job.

It's finally happened! Oh glorious day!

Laura Loomer can go pout in a corner for all I care.

Don't know what you're celebrating, the more time he spends with her the better as she's both terrible and unpopular.

Good. The more chaos around Trump, the better. Maybe she will publish some juicy bits about the real Trump. There is no worse enemy than a pissed-of ex.

There is no possible meaning of that phrase that isn't immensely stomach-churning.

You can see the leopard tooth-marks on her skull.

She fed the beasts from her own flesh.

[-] RedSeries@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

Loony Laura on her shenanigans again. It takes a special kind of crazy to get blacklisted by Trump when you're actively sucking his dick.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

This is a facade meant to comfort republicans one way or the other to ultimately vote for trump.

Quick turn around on that dine and dash. Is this Scaramucci levels of bus-throwing?

The left: We don't stand a chance with all our petty infighting

The right:

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

The left infights all the time, because we have policy disagreements.

The right infights mostly when there's a power vacuum in their own ranks, because it's only about the power to hurt people and enrich themselves.

If he thought she was crazy why would he repeat her Facebook shitpost-level source claims about stuff, in a nationally televised debate he basically needed to win?

I am nursing the theory that the dude basically wants to lose.
