Far-right activist Laura Loomer attacked Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and then MTG bit back and meanwhile, Trump remains the godfather of manipulation. Eventually these two will destroy one another for Trump.
Some people never learn.
Actually, it seems far too many people never learn and a lot of us can’t learn from history, which is why we are going back to a time when a lot of us had no rights, aka “The good old days.”
Laura Loomer is taking a break from spinning wild conspiracy theories in order to be a close aide to Donald Trump. Or maybe she isn’t taking a break and that is exactly why she is a close aide to Donald Trump.
Laura Loomer “vets” people for Trump, because he is the kind of person who puts trust in someone like her. And she has found Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene lacking.
Loomer publicly told Trump to put this “rabid dog” in her place:
“We won’t let the home wrecker become a country wrecker. We will destroy you before we ever allow you to try to ruin the MAGA movement the same way you ruined your family,” Loomer finished.
Yikes. Loomer has nearly made a case for MTG, and yet she was right about one thing and that is that MTG vastly overestimated her place in MAGA. But then, so has Loomer.
Loomer’s attacks focus solely on how men see MTG, and how she serves men or does not serve them, which pretty much sums up MAGA beliefs about women. What Loomer doesn’t understand yet is Loomer is using her power like a woman who still doesn’t understand that she is supporting people who actively want to take that power away from her, including one who recently reshared a ‘woman shouldn’t vote’ post.
Because even though she thinks she’s a successful PickMe, Loomer is not above those who went before her and she certainly isn’t smarter than a Michael Cohen type.
Loomer shared a photo of Donald Trump looking like a gleaming set of dentures topped off with the faux-tanned hide of white-livered draft dodger. Her arm draped on his shoulder with a hint of possession the viewer can imagine she might wish were returned.
It’s almost as if Loomer has chained herself metaphorically to Donald Trump, who uses the predictable game of playing the two women off of each other for his own benefit. You might remember her for chaining herself to the doors of Twitter’s headquarters after being banned for being, well, like she is.
In case you need a refresher because you have higher standards than Donald Trump and thus have not paid attention to Laura Loomer, here are a few of Loomer’s “beliefs”:
9/11 Conspiracy Theories: Loomer has spread claims that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job”.
Staged Mass Shootings: She has alleged that several mass shootings, including the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and Santa Fe High School shootings, were staged.
Kamala Harris is not Black: Loomer has claimed that former Vice-President Kamala Harris is not Black.
George Soros conspiracy theories: She has promoted the conspiracy theory that the son of billionaire George Soros was sending cryptic messages calling for Trump's assassination.
Buffalo Shooting Hoax: After the 2022 Buffalo shooting, Loomer falsely claimed it was a hoax orchestrated by the Democratic Party.
Casey DeSantis Cancer Hoax: In 2023, she accused Casey DeSantis of exaggerating her breast cancer battle.
Global Day of Jihad: Following the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, Loomer amplified a false story about a planned global "day of jihad" on October 13, 2023.
The far-right activist has, intermittently, tremendous power over Trump. For example, she got Trump to fire six National Security Council officials.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Makes a Case for Herself
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has recently discovered that the Republican Party does indeed hate women, much to her surprise because — again — she refuses to learn from history.
The Republican started the recent fight with yet another Republican woman on Monday by calling out Loomer for criticizing the military for honoring an 'anti-Trump Leftist’, aka Medal of Honor recipient U.S. Army Capt. Florent Groberg, who tackled a suicide bomber in 2012 while serving in Afghanistan, saving the lives of numerous people.
“What was Hero Florent Groberg’s Loomer crime? Nothing. He spoke at a Democrat convention. But Laura Loomer has ZERO respect or reverence for even the most heroic people in America. Ask any veteran, military member, and American, no one cares about his politics, the man was willing to die to save others from a suicide bomber.” MTG wrote on Elon’s hellscape, proving that in Trump’s second term, worlds are indeed colliding.
Marjorie Taylor Greene defended a hero who spoke at a Democratic Convention. She said he deserved respect and no one cares about his politics. This is what all of our elected officials should be saying publicly, but of course, that is not the example set for them by Donald Trump, who attacks even Democratic voters with impunity.
The media isn’t in an uproar writing a zillion “civility” columns and spending precious airtime lecturing the Right about silos over Trump’s attacks on the Democratic base. The country is not expected to understand the Democratic base, let alone respect them; for but one example, the media does not go to rural southern Georgia or dinners in Detroit to ask Black voters what they think. (But I have.)
Why is it, do we think, that the media which is owned by mostly white, rich, straight men, do not see the Democratic base as worthy of being studied, followed, covered and even excused as they have the Tea Party on down?
Perhaps the media is still sniffing smelling salts and clutching pearls over “basket of deplorables” from 2016, and can’t be roused to care about the very voters for whom most of them have never shown even cursory respect. Whatever the reason, Marjorie Taylor Greene gave a vigorous defense of a person who deserved to be celebrated without notice of his political “side.”
Trump Triangulation
Meanwhile, Donald Trump escapes all of the blows because he is behind all of this.
Trump is doing his age old game of triangulation. This is how he gets people to put their own lives and careers on the line for him, time and time again, even after they’ve seen their predecessors go to jail for doing the same. People often get angry when I point out that Donald Trump has a type of charisma, but he does, and his successful triangulation, including the use and disposal of others, is a result of his charismatic but dark personality traits.
The MTG v Loomer bruising is typical Trump triangulation, in which he brings in a third party to destabilize the second party and control the other person by redirecting communication through a third person but never saying these things to the target directly. In other words, it’s tired and basic and middle school, but it’s also mafia, which is to say, it’s Donald Trump.
“Triangulation is a passive-aggressive tactic of manipulation used by people who are, in general, selfish and/or ignorant about the impact of their behaviors in the workplace. At its core, triangulation pits people against one another and has the effect of dividing people. The resulting dysfunction undermines trust, teamwork, professional development, productivity, job satisfaction, and retention,” the Business News warns of triangulation in the workplace.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Loomer will continue to attack one another to get Trump’s approval: both thinking they speak for him, both seeking his attention, both seeking to be to him what Ivanka is to him or maybe Melania or maybe that is the same thing. Donald Trump is definitely creepy and weird about his daughter. And actually, MTG v Loomer is a lot like Ivanka v Melania. It’s what Trump does, though I suspect only Ivanka can win without playing at all.
All of these women are prostrate on the ground licking the boots of a man whose name is all over the Epstein Files, and a man who covered up the fact that his name is all over the Epstein Files. It’s hard to think of a more disturbing place to find oneself, but being around Donald Trump is not good for the self-respect of anyone, least of all women.
Trump will let Loomer and MTG destroy one another in public, because it serves him to do so. They will continue to do it because they think they’re winning him over, and that is the secret to his dark charisma.
But this time around, Trump’s “charisma” is fetid and malodorous like raw meat left out in the Nevada sun. His endless greed and avarice only highlight the TACO Trump economy that is hurting everyone but the very elite and his human rights abuses are destroying nearly everything that made America “great.”
For this, MTG and Loomer are destroying themselves.

This is spot on writing!! Loomer screaming about narcissism is rather hilariously sick. All these people are quite sick and MTG got it right one out of a hundred times. Give her props for the hero speech but she is still some very sick shit.
All I can say about this pair is the words of J. Wellington Wimpy:
"Let's you and her fight."
