I prefer to be a lone wolf when selecting an “honoree” for this feature. Running with the pack is boring, but sometimes I feel the need to join in. And that is why Laura Loomer is malaka of the week.
The basic facts about Trump’s new favorite have become widely known in the last week. Laura Loomer began her “career” as a political provocateur with James O’Keefe and Project Veritas. Some learn from the best, Loomer learned from the sleaziest. O’Keefe has been a stone in my shoe since my early days as a blogger, so any association with him is suspect.
Loomer is best known for her Islamophobia and crackpot theories about 9/11. She maintains that it was an inside job perpetrated by the US government. She’s sketchy on the details but is convinced that there’s a conspiracy. Loomer flips the old cliche on its head: In her case, the devil is in the lack of details. Normal people will never understand her convoluted thinking, but that’s not the point, other crackpots get it and spread the poison.
In fact, the Kaiser of Chaos disgraced himself again by taking Loomer to a 9/11 memorial ceremony last week. You can’t make this shit up.
The biggest stir Loomer has caused recently was with this post on the platform formerly known as Twitter:
This resulted in a rebuke from Marjorie Taylor Greene of all people. The QAnon Lady claimed that this hateful racist post didn’t represent MAGA or its Dear Leader. I beg to differ. It’s exactly the sort of poison that Marge, Donald, and their ilk have brought to our politics.
Marge Greene is not the only GOPer to denounce Loomer’s influence on the Insult Comedian. What are they really worried about? It can’t be her blatant bigotry, which is common in MAGA World. As to Loomer’s love of conspiracy theories, Donald never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t embrace and use to smear his enemies. He’s the king of the unfounded claim and nasty inference. That can’t be it.
We all know how susceptible to brown nosing the Insult Comedian is. Laura Loomer obviously excels at flattering Trump. Is that why Marge and other Trumpers object to her presence on the campaign plane?
This is one instance in which the subtext is more important than the text. I think the Marge Greenes of this world object to Laura Loomer because of jealousy and the fear that Trump is sleeping with her. There, I said it.
I rarely if ever comment on the looks of the people I write about, especially women, but this story requires me to go there. Laura Loomer’s face looks like a science experiment. It’s unclear if she’s had bad plastic surgery or is just overly made up like many right-wing women. One thing is for certain: Donald digs chicks with makeup slathered on their faces.
Further evidence of the Loomer subtext can be found in this picture in which she looks attractive to normal guys:

I suspect that this is why that old pervert Donald finds her fetching and Marge Greene finds her threatening. Marge is no longer the Trumpy flavor of the month. That dubious distinction goes to Laura Loomer. Gag me with a proverbial spoon.
Because of my antipathy to discussing women’s looks, this has been an awkward post to write but when a plausible explanation is in plain sight one has to go there. I have no interest in the sex lives of politicians, especially Donald Trump. He’s a cad and lout who has been found civilly liable for sexual assault. In the old movies I’m so fond of the Insult Comedian would be called a wolf. How’s that for circling back to the first paragraph of the post?
The idea that Trump’s attraction to Laura Loomer is physical shouldn’t surprise anyone. It should, however, appall everyone. And that is why Laura Loomer is malaka of the week.
Let’s run with the wolf pack and give the last word to Bad Company followed by Paul Kantner & Grace Slick:
