Laura Loomer insists she and Donald Trump are very close.

While Donald Trump’s allies have tried to create the illusion of distance between the Republican presidential nominee and Laura Loomer, the alt-right conspiracy theorist has continued to cozy up to him, going so far as to brag over the weekend that Trump “likes” and “trusts” her.

“The media is full of shit. OK?” Loomer said on her podcast, ​​Loomer Unleashed, on Saturday. “These people are liars. They are con artists, and all they do is lie. They are running a coordinated smear campaign because I am effective. Donald Trump likes me. Donald Trump trusts me. OK?

    I think that it’s about 50 or so days till the election. I’m not even American and it’s so goddamned exhausting.

        Time to strap in

        Time to stock up on 1:1 CBD:THC edibles and renew the xanax prescription. Otherwise, my liver will never survive the next 4-5 months…

        Why the fuck do we even still have lame duck sessions after presidential elections anyway? I imagine any reason we initially had a delay between election and inauguration has been mitigated through technology. Maybe it doesn’t need to happen immediately, but ~3 months is completely unnecessary.

          There is supposed to be communication and coordination between the outgoing administration and incoming one. Since they don’t know if they are going to be elected they can’t really have the structure drawn up as it does depend on availability and such. Unfortunately one party does not like the whole communication and coordination thing going bothways and often stymies it.

      In a few short weeks, we will remember this week fondly as a ‘simpler time’.

      Just imagine how exhausting it will be if the orange monster wins again.
