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.

Sarah Palin was somehow less obnoxious to see in the news.

Wait till she drops a fake pregnancy on them.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Wait until someone catches her going into planned parenthood.

Sure. They do other things… but…ehhhh…. Will the maga crowd believe that?

Edit: she should, and for those “other” services. No way she and trump weren’t screwing, and he probably gave her something.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She’d never do that. An illegitimate Trump baby, real or not, is her golden ticket.

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.

Good, let the hate flow through you

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

I'm picturing a Gail the Snail type situation.

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.

What a mug.

Always fun to watch the loons eviscerate each other.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

It’s like dealing with a bunch of toddlers.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She and Trump used each other.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 306 points 1 month ago (12 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

Vance said similar shit.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

Amen, my thoughts exactly.

Just keep talking.

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

[–] [email protected] 114 points 1 month 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.
