A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
The far-right, conspiracy-trafficking, anti-Muslim internet personality Laura Loomer lost to incumbent Rep. Dan Webster in the FL-11 this week, and it wasn’t even particularly close. Webster won 51-44. But Loomer, in fitting Trumpian fashion, is refusing to concede in increasingly unhinged ways.
All other things aside, she’s one strange looking person.
LOomer One. RINos cheated wiTH the HElp of Chinese BAmboo and Italian Satellites aND JewiSH spacE lasers!
We used to have places called institutions that had padded cells where Laura could just play around in all day…
POSt a DaMN piC, fIRST. Bonsai KiTTEn
This can’t be right. She has no effing mind to lose. What you prolly mean is that she’s screeching like a harpie, but, that’s hardly a surprise, that’s what harpies do.
Georgia Election Investigation Grinds On
The Georgia grand jury investigating Trump’s 2020 election interference is seeking testimony from Mark Meadows on Sept. 27.
The grand jury is also calling in Trump lawyer Sidney Powell and cyber researcher James Waldron, Politico reports.
Meanwhile, Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro moved to challenge his subpoena by the grand jury on the grounds that it would violate his professional legal obligations to his former client.
She disproves the notion that she was created in God’s own image. No god would ever do that.
Joe Biden: “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the—I’m going to say something, it’s like semi- fascism.”
There, FIFY, Joe.
Loomer sounds in dire need of family intervention.
The willingness to attach oneself to a fictional character — the ubersuccessful patriotic businessman/entertainer Trump — even after four years of demonstrated abject venal incompetence, seems to be a very reliable diagnostic for acute mental illness.
The Villiages our own little fascist enclave of white privilege, wild horses could not drag me there and I’m white.
Jared Kushner shares 2 things with Mike Pence: 1. They are both on some sort of self promotion, reputation rehabilitation tour, and 2. They are both appealing to nebulous audiences. I have a higher chance of becoming the GOP 2024 presidential nominee than Mike Pence (And I have zero chance…), and I honestly can’t imagine who Jared Kushner thinks his potential audience is (Outside of MBS…).
I’m not surprised that she carried The Villages. Now just imagine if the Republicans win and implement Prick Scott’s plan to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block. What will those folks at the Villages do?
Oh silly me we know they would continue to chant Let’s Go Brandon and blame Democrats!
Yes to that. I imagine Ms. Loomer has never actually been “hinged” to begin with.
One other salient characteristic you forgot:
Both Kushner and Pence display android-like personalities.
Or rather, android-like lack of personality.
Loomer Loonie, I only wish there were enough mental hospitals that would make it easy to take these people in.
This Is Getting Good
Take a peek at the upcoming deposition schedule in Dominion’s giant defamation case against Fox News for giving widespread play to conspiracy theories about the election tech company:
Friday: Tucker Carlson
Tuesday: Lou Dobbs
Wednesday: Sean Hannity
Anyone thinking these folks won’t show up?
Quote Of The Day
Joe Biden: “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the—I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”
Now Biden’s mincing words - there is no semi- to their fascism. It’s outright.
The Curious Case Of Alvin Bragg
Mueller probe attorney Andrew Weissmann reassesses the decision by the Manhattan district attorney to wind down his criminal probe of Donald Trump.
It’s not that curious at all. Too bad Bragg will keep his job, no matter what he does, until the next election.
Morally Bankrupt
Sandy Hook families accuse Alex Jones of hiding assets from them.
Didn’t they already find that he’d moved assets in order to shield them? His ex-wife is coming after him for the same thing.
Laura Loomer refuses to accept her primary loss and declares “I actually am the Congresswoman in Florida’s 11th District, and everyone knows it,”
Gee, I wonder who she got that from. What is the idiot logic underlying this rhetorical device? Is it supposed to provoke some sort of shame? Has this ever worked, for Lord Orangenut or anyone else, ever?
If its sole point is to annoy liberals, I guess it did that much for me.
Actually I like this one better it’s much more humane-- (you have to see this!)

Silly, they’ll blame the Democrats, of course.
