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.

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

The right:

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 hours 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.

Between Gaetz, Cawthorn, Boebert, and the Zieglers, the GOP is far too busy cumming to infight.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

I'm wondering if he doesn't care that much because the qons are working to steal the election for him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

We all thought this in 2016 too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

In my head, he decided to make a deal with the democrats to throw the election every way possible and they won’t prosecute him.

His kids? Fuck em.

I guess Melania went over the prenup with him again.

god i am so fucking happy right now.

My happiness cannot be described.

The leopards eating faces party is eating faces in the party of eating faces.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

face only a maga could love

[–] [email protected] 27 points 13 hours 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.

WHAT DOES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DO FOR ME??!?!

Nothing, isn't that like... their whole thing?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

also, it's a political party, it shouldn't be doing anything for you it should do things for us

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

They give scraps and empty promises until you're no longer useful to them.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 15 hours ago

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

She fed the beasts from her own flesh.

Look, an ouroborus!

“Not a single Republican is happy with the GOP. They have done nothing over the last 4 years if we are being honest.”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

They have done nothing over the last 4 years if we are being honest.

So why were you supporting them last week?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 16 hours ago

The mythical Leopardface Ouroborus

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 57 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Like Gollum going down on Gothmog.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

Well that’s enough Lemmy for today

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

WELP that's enough internet for today.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

That's be like sticking a burnt sausage into a food disposal and would probably sound similar, too.

At least Stormy got paid.

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