Laura Loomer is Too Nuts For CPAC as Don Trump Calls Bullshit

It is always a strange and hateful bunch that gathers at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference--also known a CPAC.

Traditionally it is full of speeches and panels all of which are designed to inform the assembled faithful about the devious, yea, satanic nature of anyone to the left of Donald John Trump. As usual this year's get together bounced back and forth between a wild pep rally for the current resident of the White House and dark prophecies of an apocalypse if democrats take control of any political office, right down to dog catcher.

Of course, sometimes, the raucous confab draws an individual who is considered too crazy, too overtly evil and stupid even by the rabid right. It is a feat which never ceases to take the breath away.

Laura Loomer proved to be this year's designated psychopath. Yesterday, after relentlessly heckling CNN reporter Oliver Darcy in the CPAC media center, she was ejected from the hall. The not so bright bulbs running CPAC had granted her media credentials as a representative of that world renowned news agency, "Illoominate Media." Get it? IL-Loom-inate. Clever, huh?

As she was being denied entry earlier today she was heard whining, "Don Jr. follows me on Instagram. Kimberly Guilfoyle follows me on Instagram." She added, "I'm one of Trump's biggest supporters, I had 265,000 followers on twitter, before I was banned." Her protests were in vain. Security not only refused her entry, they confiscated her press pass. Later she stated, CPAC had, "...decided to bow to the leftist outrage mob."

Well there is a lot of outrage going around now days on both sides. However, Ms. Loomer tends to stand out in the crowd when it comes to the areas of religious intolerance, xenophobia, and alleged government black ops. She should also be well accustomed to banishment.

Twitter, along with PayPal, did indeed remove her from their sites thanks to her incendiary anti-Islamic lies and mass shooting conspiracies--you know, like the Parkland, FL massacre and others were faked. Then, after she started advocating for a ride share app which wouldn't hire Muslim drivers, Uber, Lyft, and the food delivery app, Uber Eats also kicked her to the curb.

Shortly after Ms. Loomer was escorted out, Don Trump showed up to deliver the keynote address. When it came to his own political problems, he told the crowd, "Unfortunately, you put the wrong people in a couple of positions and they leave people for a long time that shouldn't be there and all of a sudden they are trying to take you out with bullshit, okay."

In other words, I hired some fuckers who refused to fire people who weren't loyal to me. And now those deep state sons of bitches are coming after me with bullshit.

Of course Mr. Trump's bullshit rings a tad hollow as it becomes increasingly evident he is the single most corrupt individual to hold the highest office in the land. Not that criminal enterprises matter to 21st century conservatives.

As one infamously said, "Trump could shoot my dog and I'd still vote for him."

Yes, with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez out there the awful specter of socialism is suddenly real--at least in the minds of The Great and Almighty Base. Indeed, it's better to have an utterly crooked, dog killing, Putin puppet in the White House rather than things like universal health care and a living wage for all Americans.

Let's face it, racism, hunger, and disease are the backbones of American democracy aren't they? Think not? Just ask the rubes assembled in Maryland the last three days. They'll set you straight.

  2. Fear drives irrational behavior. I believe that is doubly true in politics. Trump's base is scared and not thinking the issues through. Can you imagine how those on the Right would be screaming if a Democrat were in office and had promised that, 1. Mexico would pay for a border wall after the candidate made the unilateral decision to build it, and 2. A campaign promise was made to investigate and prosecute a presidential candidate suspected of wrongdoing - and absolutely no follow through was made to do so, two years after the election. We live in sad and dangerous times
