    I hate both of them as much as the next guy, but that’s the funniest shit I’ve read all day.

      Especially the context. LMFAO

      “Several of President Trump’s staff have told me in confidence that Lindsey Graham is gay,” Loomer said, unprompted during the deposition, according to the Daily Beast.

      “Hold on, Ms. Loomer, there’s no question,” Maher’s attorney replied.

    I mean, everyone knows? Like, everyone knows. Everyone has known for at least a decade. I will never understand why he just doesn’t come out, it’s not like the Rs don’t have the occasional “good” queer they tolerate for the optics, it’s just mystifying.

      But that’s what he’s doing. He’s being a “good” queer, which means he’s publicly denying it. That’s the kind of homosexual they tolerate: the one who’s ashamed of it.

      Those “good gays” are always kept on the fringes where they can be ignored or disposed of when convenient. They aren’t supposed to have real power.

    Loomer also took aim at U.S. representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who she said “carries roast beef in her pockets,” per TNR.

    “I know she likes to eat at Arby’s,” Loomer added. When asked about whether she was trying to comment on Greene’s body or her sex life, Loomer said, “No. I’m talking about Arby’s, the sandwiches. I’m talking about Arby’s. I would — I’m a very direct person.”

    I feel like I’m losing my grip on reality, am I supposed to take something away from this? Is this code or something? Are these people just trolling 24/7 like children despite being in charge of… everything?

      I had to look this up because I was also very confused. I searched for 5 minutes so I could be wrong but loomer has made this exact comment in the past except far more explicitly and linked to her sex life. They clearly don’t get along and loomer has accused her of having multiple affairs. The roast beef comment is a (not very) thinly veiled slut shaming thing, basically, mocking her because her vagina must look unappealing because she had the audacity to have sex with 3 men (allegedly). The idea that your vagina changes appearance if you have more sexual partners is a myth of course

      Basically infighting mixed with internalized misogyny

      This excerpt does NOT do it justice. The whole exchange about Arby’s is insane.

      The Lindsey Graham thing is immediately after - there was no prompting it. She brings it up out of nowhere.

      Truly unhinged

      Loomer is insane. There’s no more point in parsing her schizobabble than trying to find meaning in the ranting of a drunk homeless person bellowing about how alien chickens are messing with his head.

    As much of a piece of shit as Loomer is, Lindsey Graham is seriously the worst. Anything that diminishes his political capital is a positive for the entire world.

      Except that they will use Lindsey as a scapegoat in an attempt to make it ok to say fake mean shit about gay people.

      Kim Davis is asking the Supremes to reverse the decision that enabled gay marriage nationwide.

      These idiots all talk to each other, and they are acting in coordination.

    For some reason I read this as Lindsey Lohan, and was seriously questioning Ms. Lohan’s taste in women.

    And yeah of course Lindsay Graham is gay, but what evidence would Laura Loomer have, that would hold up in court? Just turning down her offer of sex is not evidence, most straight guys would turn her down, and probably near 100% of lesbians would too.
