Loomer also then defended her post and tried to rationalize it.

I was so sure this was satirical

Seems accurate.

If you're a racist it's occasionally useful to throw another, more obvious racist under the bus to build up your own cover.

Fuck both these people.

It does absolutely represent Trump and Republicans though

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Considering that Trump and Loomer were chilling together before and after the debate, I'm pretty sure that they share a lot in common.

I don't think anyone would be upset if the white house smelled like curry. That would be a nice atmosphere. But what's racist about the rest of it? I think this all went over my head.

It's preying on the fact that a lot of call centers were offshored to India and other countries. That resonates well with their voting bloc

Idk, Trump eats his steak well done w/ ketchup, so I wouldn't be surprised if the food he likes is incredibly bland compared to what Kamala Harris likes. I'm guessing she's also a fan of jerk and other Carribean foods, since her dad is Jamaican, so I'd much rather attend a dinner hosted by Harris than Trump.

Also, if liking curry is a bad thing, then what does that mean for Vivek Ramiswamy? It seems he's trying to place himself as the successor to Trump.

So yeah, not sure how this was intended to be offensive. Curry is delicious, and Indian people rock (I work with several). And with Trump, I need a translator to understand what he's trying to say anyway since he rambles so much and can't seem to stick to any particular position.

Exactly 0% chance MTG wrote that herself.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, an intern was told make a statement condemning the tweet, as it is just a little too overtly racist

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

The problem was that she used the regular whistle.

"Hey Laura can you tweet something absolutely insanely racist about Kamala so I can publicly call you out so that people won't think im the crazy one?"

"Sure thing fam I was probably gonna do that anyways lol"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think its that. Laura Loomer has been getting deeper and deeper into Trump's inner circle for the length of the campaign.

Meanwhile, MTG has been ostracized by the House GOP leadership.

This is just an insider-vs-outsider spat.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Trump mentioned her as a potential White House press secretary, which of course is horrifying.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It absolutely represents both Trump and MAGA.

What this is is MTG seeing the potential writing on the wall and slowly trying to sneak her way into more normal speak so she doesn't get fucking tossed out the door on her ass with the rest of them if Kamala wins and the "normal" republicans begin to purge their party of MAGA losers.

She's essentially thinking "I'd better start toning down my shit, just in case."

I predict a massive loss for the GOP, all the way down to dogcatcher. Imagine all the politically ignorant voters that will show out to vote against Trump and will mark D on all the races they know nothing about. Then there are those of us who are politically aware and are marking straight D's, because fuck all this nonsense.

You are spot on about the coming purges. Blood. Bath.

I hope so. If there is a god, the one I want to see lose the most is Ted Cruz. I'm so sick of his smug face. He gives the rest of us Canadians a bad name. We're sorry we sent him to you.

I"t does not represent THE THINGS WE SAY OUT LOUD AND ON THE RECORD, except for when it does because we actually do that more often now"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Real truth though, the white house kitchen can probably make one bomb curry or masala

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

If she doesn't represent Trump, then Trump should tell her to take it down. He won't though.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

MTG has said way more racist things than this, she's just mad that she wasn't getting attention

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was going to say I agree with her but I realized I can't.

She is right it is racist but it is certainly not above Republicans nor Trump to be openly racist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

To paraphrase Jon Stewart.

Fuck off ~~Dick Cheney~~ Three toes!

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wake up.
Read the first post on the feed.
I agree with MTG.
Well this is weird, I should go back to sleep.
