What an absolute vile piece of shit Laura Loomer is. When people have ideologies like this, are in a position of power or influence, and are brazenly outspoken about their bigotry and xenophobia, all chance of peaceful coexistence is lost. This isn’t just a comment of mild disagreement… this is straight up, hate filled toxicity and, “you the people”, probably should democratically get rid of her.

Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist close to Trump, said the ICSD should be raided by the FBI and immigration authorities.

She shared a 2023 social media post by the wife of the mosque’s imam, accusing Israel of killing children.

“The mosque that was ‘supposedly’ shot up today,” Loomer wrote in an accompanying post. “Just remember the people who attend this mosque want us all to be killed.”

    I don’t have any skin in this fight, and the dude is totally right…. But I’d bet a few bucks that the reporter was moving on from the voxpop because the two of them would have probably had a quick chat before the live cross to gauge his ability to be succinct and hold an opinion, and it could have started to go in a direction that may have thrown her. I would also take a guess that she probably felt that he was going to go waaaay of script and say something that could put the network in hot water. Fuck her in the pussy, Trump is a pedo. I like turtles…. There’s a bit of risk management for a live cross that she would have been mindful of.

    But then again… who knows?

    I would not to surprised to see in the not too distant future, small clusters of residents forming compounds in an effort to protect themselves. The compounds will only grow larger the more the people feel threatened. It’s gonna get really fucking weird, and extremely fucking violent.

    Half a trillion in equity is so unfathomable in my reality.

    $500,000,000,000

    Let’s say I ask him for 0.001% of his wealth… I would get $5,000,000.

    Now let’s put this into perspective of my reality. If I had $1000 and someone asked me for the same 0.001% of my wealth, I would be handing over $0.01.

    One cent.

    I understand that this wouldn’t be sustainable if I give everyone one cent from my pot of a thousand… but still. Have a trillion dollars makes me sick.
