Oh REALLY?!
In case you were unaware. This is how democracies die.
Self-serving, attention-seeking narcissists seem to be all the rage in the current GOP. They need to be sued continually until they go bankrupt in high-profile defamation cases to wipe them off the map.

It's amazing how quickly the Trump administration is dismantling so much of the US state. Despite his big words and posturing, Trump's action must be thrilling for Putin and other hostile leaders, watching the US fast becoming weaker and less relevant.
My god, we are seriously turning into an authoritarian nightmare. Thanks MAGA voters.
We've got "Trump refugees" in Bath, England. It's very good for us, but I don't want to see the US fail... I know it's important for it to thrive in a better form and I look forward to that.
Hey Laura, don’t forget when this is all over. There’s a jail sale waiting for you too.
The race to the bottom continues.
The kind of consuming fratricide Loomer (we might coin a broader term: "Loomerism") activates requires constant vilification and purge. It expands and morphs into fragile and brittle intra-political paranoia while deepening the need for external political enemies. Political Pathology run amok!
When your government is essentially a Mafia enterprise, you don't staff the mob with smart people; you staff it with loyal people. Giving in to the Mafia like ABC, CBS, and others have done only encourages them to take more. They only understand power.
Israel, Ukraine etc aren’t international crisis?
Could be!?! We are there. 😑
What is "Looney Loomer's" role in Govt. other than being Dump's "Special Lady?"... What does it cost Taxpayers for the role she plays in DonOLD's life???
Is she still Taco Man's baby mamma?
we are already there
Just what I was going to say
Eventually? I would say Inevitably.
Laura, loomer.
People in the US are already dying from decimation of government. The long term impact of losing US science will be many deaths. It is nuts to destroy the US for nazism.
American Rasputin.
The first “loyalty squad” that shows up on my doorstep, will find themselves wishing they died as children..
she is absolutely out of her mind and is vicious. Of COURSE she can whisper into trump's ear...
This administration is going to be the longest 4 years ever. So much of what was normal will be slowly ripped away.
I can only hope that the backlash to this insanity will be great and lasting enough to put a permanent end to both-sidesism in the media, and will engage the voters of this country enough for them to take their responsibility as citizens seriously.
Nope! People will say “why don’t Dems stop it? They’re feckless.” Why? Many of them likely shat on Democrats before the election, now, they’re looking for any excuse that that was the right decision.
I wish you were right, but I think you’re wrong. Journalists are lazy and afraid of pushback from the right. A terrible combination that has led to decades of “both sides” already. The good journalists have left and the remaining ones are whores. Their owners are the same elite as Trump.
Most journalists are far from lazy. I'd say they're walking a seriously thin tightrope in which they have to appease the corporate bosses while trying to report something honest. It's impossible. We have to read between the lines.
Not all of us
No. There are some wonderful journalists with integrity. But fewer than the others. Thank you for fighting the good fight
The correction has to be dispositive! It has to be a General Sherman correction that changes the culture for generations. We’ve got a Khmer Rouge/Nazi factory here in the USA that needs to be wholly rejected.
They’re too busy supporting sex offenders. They’re busy covering up how deep their Christian base is involved with sex offenders. Wearing crosses and enabling rape as they look the other way while women and children are terrorized. They blame Democrats instead of admitting the ugly truth.
America will have a national crisis long before then. Trump/ GOP appointing lunatics will gut the US.
Putin’s lunatics…….
"will have"? we're already deep inside a national crisis
She's such an ugly, ugly person both inside and out. Her basic stupidity about democracy and keeping quality people in charge will definitely result in an extremely bad result if there's an international crisis. She's trying to protect a pedophile and that speaks volumes about her character.
What happened to Laura loomer and has anyone seen her birth certificate? Is she a citizen?
She’s the biggest dumb ass in this whole pageant of dumb asses.
Not just international crisis, any situation that requires an educated mind!
Oh. Really?
Wheres the terminator when you need him!
Wow USA is staffed by Loony Tunes people lolz
She's such a vile ignoramus, I'm not surprised an idiot like the "Pedophile in Chief " would listen to her, but the fact is people like her don't deserve to breathe air.
I believe that an additional crisis like an attack on Taiwan would show US vulnerabilities at this time and is entirely possible soon.
Laura Loomer is making American policies. That's fucking scary. #LooneyTunes
She is hideous.
They shouldn't have fooled with its genetics.
The Joker. Loomey Tunes..
Collective sociopathy
How do we know that disinformation spreader and Putin apologist Loomer is not actually working for Russia to weaken US security?
we don't
America learned nothing from the pandemic.
Seriously dangerous
Her name should be Laura Doomer!
@anneapplebaum.bsky.social I don't think she'll make it that far. She doesn't get along with the Nazis/white supremacists due to her Jewishness. They've turned on her before and they will again.
Loomer is a loser with a massive grudge. America would be a better place if she would just shut up and bake cookies.
Brought to you by the NYTIMES that helped bring you dRump with the both-sider and clickbait headlines.

I think we're already there.
I'm not religious but it seems like a spiritual war between all the same old evil and hate from the past and the choice to create a more just humane future.
Dumbing down is ridiculous policy. It creates the opportunity for a shadow opposition with more time & flexibility to network & organise. This administration seems to believe power exists only in position; but power exists in knowledge & insight & candour & interconnectivity.
On a side note: watched your discussion with Preen Bharara while commuting to office, so there was a bit of background noise. I misheard the title of your book 'twilight of democracy' as 'toilet of democracy' .... EUropean 🇪🇺🇩🇪 subconscious mind referring to the 🇺🇸 these days. Love from Bavaria 🇪🇺🇩🇪
Fucking Nazi cunt
Who died and put her in charge? Uh, no one.
Are we pretending this isn't already happening?
Loomer, whose parents had her place in a mental hospital is run our country. Sounds about right...
All the capable people won't touch this self enriching corrupt pile of shit that is this government
WtF is Laura Loomer? When was she elected?
I'm from the UK and have never heard of her - fortunately! I read the article. It's utterly ridiculous that any old punter who sets themselves up with a podcast can influence decisions on people's jobs. It's outrageous. I hope those affected take cases out under your employment laws.
Loyalty to him attracts Trump like a fly to decaying meat. Her/their looniness is a plus not a minus. Because of his too many to list character deficiencies they can easily manipulate him as long as they stroke his ego. So grifters, loonies & other ilk have easy game. Many courts are not impartial
The plastic in her brain can melt in the heat
Oddly enough, having read this piece earlier this morning, I was agitated enough to look at her Wikipedia page. That this person is strolling in the West Wing...ugh. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_L...
She is batshit crazy. Seriously fucking deranged.
Nobody listens to this motherfucking bitch, so why do you broadcast anything about her! I would be happy if nobody said her motherfucking name the rest of my goddamn life but no motherfuckers like you gotta bring up her name all the goddamn time about something she said, but nobody gives a fuck
trump listens to her, others obey her orders
Bullshit! Nobody listens to what the fuck she says and show me one time where someone does because Trump kicked her ass out
Can we send her on vacation...prefer a slow boat to China.
“‘I was raised to dress for the job you want, and even if you don’t have the job, pretend that you do,’ Ms. Loomer said … ‘I want to do vetting, so I’m going to do the job I want.’” Oh dear. Here in the UK we call that “play”. We indulge our pre-teens in it. After that they grow up. Unbelievable.
Cockroaches have been unearthed here. It sucks.
I hope you noticed.... The United States is already suffering from extremely bad result within! The USA just passed 1984 and is on its direct way to 1933. (I stopped using the words "America" and "American" as America is more than just the USA. It is also Canada, Mexico, and way more than the USA!)
Amerika.
I just love how all of this is going exactly as we all knew it would. A mean, cruel, inept, spectacular shit show.
Crazy runs the country
The fact that this . . . *person* . . . has anything to do with our government at all should be alarming to every US citizen. Because she's a fucking nutcase.
Piece of scum.
Locally, not sure I'm comfortable with Loomer in charge of vaccines and gene therapy, either.
This right now isn’t a “bad result” ?
Laura Loomer supports Trump, a convicted felon who raped young girls.
Trump and co think those that they rape enjoy it. On video trump says it. The president. wtf.
Which is strange, because she's way too old for him anyway, and Melanoma seems unwilling to make space for #4.
Melania has her own court in trump tower where she Shtoops her boyfriend in privacy and tends to her sad autistic son
Melanie participated in Epstein play with donnee. She is trash just like him.
I'm on the fence if or not I should have sympathy for Barron. Guess it would be decent, but for whatever reason, I fail. Probably because all his siblings seem to be obnoxious brats (not sure about Tiffany)
he's a trump, and his mother is a scheming opportunist...no sympathy from me ;)
This is absolute insanity. A death-wish. We don’t have to live this way, but Republicans refuse to act.
No shit, Sherlock. That is hardly breaking news.
Loomer is a jerk
The US lost its collective mind long ago. We are now witnessing its decay & disintegration in real time. Once it all comes home to that circus tent they call the White House there is likely going to be a lot of violence. As in the US becomes a threat to the world as it lashes out. Bombs for tariffs.
You pretty much sum up what us EUropeans 🇪🇺 who watched closely and who didn't close their eyes to reality have been thinking - and fearing - since George Dubbya was elected. Obama, in hindsight, was the outlier, but even he wasn't pro-EUropean 🇪🇺. Best greetings from Bavaria 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇨🇵
Next admin, instead of being weak, the next admin in charge must appoint an aggressive independant body to enforce the law. Then, they must focus on governance like nothing else. Laws for all.
The US values are upside down! Its "greatness" evaporating... It's going to be really tough rebuilding it!
Its not the deep state that runs the government, its the shallow nobodies on dead bird app.
This Administration is so confounding because it is so anachronistic. The rules, logic, ethos are more Medieval than 21st Century. Trump acts like a monarch. Republicans in Congress treat him as one. Key Roberts Court decisions facilitate monarchy. Technologically, it's 2025. Culturally, it's 1025.
Loomer coming to fire disloyal employees:

Oooh! Surprise! Surprise! The NYT still has a nose to smell sth. that's in the air for years!They smell these might-be's and could-perhapses !? Should I admire that? No. At best I will monitor this kind of wavering journalism.
#LauraLoomerIsraeliAsset #LauraLoomerMossad
See Johnson's premiership for details. When loyalty (sycophancy) is the only currency.
What the fuck ?
Exactly. 😡
There are no qualified left now.
Yup.
Seriously. Who the hell even IS she? It's like Musk. Who are these people to be listened to?
not could be. Will be.
Looner ..
Why am I thinking of Melisandre?
Qualified competent people are an affront to boobs like the president and can not be trusted to do the wrong thing. Unlike Laura Loomer.
We're already there...
I’d argue we’re already there. We’re one weather crisis, pandemic or terrorist attack away from total collapse.
Yep.
Loomer: “I was raised to dress for the job you want, and even if you don’t have the job, pretend that you do.” Sounds like the perfect approach for selecting Trump Administration hires.
LL....the Asshole whisperer.
Loyalty is earned. Fealty is coerced.
Laura Loomer is a nut job. There is no reason to heed her advice. For those that do, incompetency and hatred are what fuels her, and a perverse love for Donald J Trump.
Far-fetched and juvenile, but I watched Godzilla take down evil with the help of Mothra this morning. If only the monster came crashing through the walls, right about now.
Why anyone including Orangeman, would listen to one word this whack job says is beyond me. Laura Looney is a crazy person.
When this shitshow finally comes to a close, I hope this pathetic excuse for a human gets all that is coming to her.
In my worst moments I can rationalize a lot through the notion of sociopathy, narcissism, corruption, fascism, and dictator wanna be…. But I do not fucking get this. I just can’t go there.
Brain drain will be a real problem in the long run.
