"They're Eating The Pets", Laura Loomer, The Stupidity Loop Oh My!

Tangerine Palpatine has Finally Found his Eva Braun

Moving forward on all blogs with Donald Trump - we will be referring to him as Tangerine Palpatine.

The rise of Tangerine Palpatine brought with it a new era of political idiocy, where lies and conspiracy theories became mainstream currency for his most fervent supporters. Enter Laura Loomer, a prime example of how far-right grifters, desperate for relevance, latch onto the Tangerine Palpatine train, embracing a "stupidity loop" that keeps misinformation churning for an audience more interested in outrage than reality. The lie that immigrants were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, perfectly captures this moronic cycle—a tale so absurd it should’ve died instantly, but instead, it spread like wildfire among Tangerine Palpatine supporters, revealing the intellectual rot at the core of MAGA culture.

The so-called pet-eating immigrants' rumor, devoid of any basis in fact, was a symptom of the broader MAGA disease—a pathological need to demonize the "other" to justify their xenophobic and often racist agenda. Instead of embracing reality, Tangerine Palpatine and his followers, including fringe mouthpieces like Loomer, peddled fantasy, doubling down on fabrications because they knew their audience would eat it up. This is the stupidity loop in action: feed the base an outlandish claim, watch as they regurgitate it across social media, and then reinforce the lie with more lies. Facts? Who needs them when ignorance is your currency?

Laura Loomer, is a deviant fuck, a relentless attention-seeker with a penchant for bigotry, epitomizes this loop. Her career is a cesspool of Islamophobia, immigrant-bashing, and sheer idiocy. She has never let truth get in the way of a good grift, and Trumpism provided her with the perfect audience—people who are not only willing but eager to believe the most asinine, fact-free claims. The idea that immigrants are coming to America to feast on household pets is so patently ridiculous, yet in the MAGA echo chamber, it became just one more "truth" in their alternate universe where Trump walks on water and immigrants are demonic invaders.

This idiocy isn’t harmless. It's part of the calculated narrative that Tangerine Palpatine and his minions, including Loomer, use to manipulate their followers. The Springfield pet-eating hoax was deployed to whip up fear, making immigrants out to be savage threats to American life. But the real savagery is the intellectual wasteland that Trump and his cult-like movement have created, where followers reject reality for the comforting delusion that they’re the last bastion of civilization, fighting off hordes of barbaric invaders. It’s as stupid as it sounds, but MAGA thrives on stupidity.

Tangerine Palpatine, of course, has mastered the stupidity loop. From his claims that Mexico would pay for the wall to his constant fearmongering about immigrant "rapists" and "criminals," he’s built his empire on lies. When a figure like Laura Loomer amplifies these falsehoods, she’s just one more cog in the MAGA machine—a machine that runs on ignorance, paranoia, and racism. The Springfield lie was another tool in Tangerine Palpatine's arsenal to stoke division, and Loomer was only too happy to carry the torch, proving once again that in Tangerine Palpatine’s America, stupidity isn’t a bug; it’s a feature.

The fact that so many people bought into the idea of immigrants eating pets reveals the intellectual bankruptcy of MAGA world. These are the same people who believe Tangerine Palpatine’s election was stolen, despite all evidence to the contrary, and that COVID-19 was a hoax. Loomer, who thrives on the paranoia of these people, knows exactly what she’s doing. She doesn’t care about truth or integrity. Like Tangerine Palpatine, she’s playing to the lowest common denominator, banking on the fact that there’s always a large segment of the population ready to believe the most ridiculous, xenophobic garbage if it aligns with their fears.

But let’s not kid ourselves—this stupidity isn’t accidental. It’s intentional. Tangerine Palpatine, Loomer, and their ilk actively cultivate this culture of ignorance because it keeps their base loyal, angry, and, most importantly, distracted from the real issues. When Tangerine Palpatine rails against immigrants or Loomer spews her bile about Muslims, they aren’t offering solutions. They’re creating scapegoats, diverting attention from their own failures by manufacturing crises that don’t exist. Immigrants aren’t eating pets in Ohio, but why let that stop the stupidity train?

The stupidity loop goes like this: someone like Loomer or Tangerine Palpatine throws out a blatantly false, inflammatory statement, it gets picked up by right-wing media, spreads like a virus through MAGA social circles, and by the time it’s debunked, it doesn’t matter because the lie has already served its purpose. In this case, the lie was meant to demonize immigrants further, reinforcing the ridiculous notion that America is under siege by foreign hordes who don’t share our values. In truth, it’s the MAGA crowd that doesn’t share American values—values like truth, integrity, and basic decency.

Loomer’s career is the perfect testament to this stupidity loop. Despite being banned from multiple social media platforms for hate speech and misinformation, she still found a home among Tangerine Palpatine’s die-hard followers. Why? Because in MAGA world, facts are irrelevant, and the more outrageous the claim, the more likely it is to be believed. It’s not that Tangerine Palpatine and Loomer are misinformed or misguided—they know exactly what they’re doing. They’re cynically manipulating the stupidity of their base to maintain power, profit, and relevance. 

Ultimately, the pet-eating immigrant lie in Springfield wasn’t just a random hoax—it was a strategic deployment of disinformation in the service of a broader agenda. Tangerine Palpatine, Loomer, and their followers are engaged in a battle against reality itself, using the stupidity loop to keep their base in a perpetual state of fear and anger. It’s a strategy that worked for Tangerine Palpatine throughout his presidency, and figures like Loomer are more than happy to continue the cycle. The result is a political landscape where truth is dead, and the only thing that matters is how many people you can convince to believe your lies.

In this idiotic world, it’s not surprising that a rumor as absurd as immigrants eating pets gained traction. What’s surprising is that there’s still a sizable portion of America willing to believe it, proving once again that in Tangerine Palpatine’s MAGA dystopia, stupidity isn’t just encouraged—it’s mandatory.

FROTHY WING-NUT SUSAN DELEMUS GOES FULL LUNATIC FRINGE ON CNN

FROTHY WING-NUT SUSAN DELEMUS

Frothy conservative wing-nut Susan DeLemus believes everyone is lying to her except Fuckface Von Clownstick [Donald Trump], and that’s why she’s supporting the Republican presidential candidate.

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN



In an interview with CNN, DeLemus emphatically said she’s never been into politics until now, because she believes everyone is “lying to me, straight to my face!”

UPDATE: Trump-loving Republican lawmaker caught lying in unhinged rant about Obama’s lies

“We’ve got people in positions of power who I know for a fact are liars. Liars!” she said. “I watch the TV — My president comes on the TV and he lies to me! I know he’s lying. He lies all the time.”

She said she doesn’t believe “any one of them” except Mr. Clownstick.

“I’m telling you, he says what I’m thinking!” she went on. “Never been involved in politics, never had an interest in any of it. Now suddenly, he is resonating. He is resonating with the people and he’s speaking our minds. Our minds!”

Please keep guns away from Susan, who is more frightening the ISIS! Maybe a straight jacket is in order for Susan?

Susan DeLumas, congratulations numb-nuts, you are this week’s wacko-bird of the week.

VIRGINIA GOP TEABAGGERS ADMIT TO RIGGING DISTRICTS TO ELECT ITS OWN ILK

Virginia is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. During the last presidential election, President Obama won the state by three points, but Republicans still picked up 8 of the state’s 11 congressional districts under the GOP-friendly maps drawn by the state legislature.

In a court filing offered by the Republican members of Virginia’s congressional delegation, the lawmakers who benefit most from these gerrymandered maps admitted that the GOP intentionally rigged the state’s congressional districts in order to produce a lopsided delegation. The state legislature’s “overarching priorities” in drawing the maps, according to the court filing, was “incumbency protection and preservation of cores to maintain the 8-3 partisan division established in the 2010 election.”

2010 was a very good year for Republicans, enabling the GOP to capture unusually large portions of state congressional delegations. 2012, by contrast, was a strong year for Democrats which saw the reelection of President Obama. And yet, by these Republican lawmakers’ own admission, the maps drawn between the 2010 and 2012 elections were draw for the explicit purpose of ensuring that the GOP’s unusually strong performance in 2010 would be replicated year after year — even in years when the electorate was more favorable to Democrats. The GOP’s goal, in other words, was to render congressional elections little more than political theater, an annual ritual that would produce the same 8-3 delegation every single time.

The lawmakers’ admission that Virginia’s maps were drawn to lock in a delegation that’s unusually favorable to the GOP came as part of ongoing litigation over the legality of the state’s maps. As a general rule, the Supreme Court does not permit lawsuits challenging partisan gerrymandering(that’s despite the fact that a majority of the Court has, at times, indicated its belief that partisan gerrymanders can violate the Constitution). Under current precedents, however, congressional maps can be struck down because they engage in an impermissible racial gerrymander. And, indeed, a federal court did strike down Virginia’s current maps because of a racially impermissible district.

Various interest groups are now fighting over how the court should redraw the Virginia’s maps in order to cure the problem with this district. The brief filed on behalf of the state’s Republican members of Congress argues that the court is obligated to draw this map in order to preserve the state’s partisan gerrymander — essentially requiring the court to maintain the same 8-3 partisan split that Republican lawmakers sought to lock in when they drew the original map. Quoting past Supreme Court decisions, the Republicans argue that “when ‘faced with the necessity of drawing district lines by judicial order,'” a court must “be guided by the legislative policies underlying” the original maps “‘to the extent those policies do not lead to violations of the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act.”

There is, indeed, some precedent supporting the idea that courts should not second-guess the decisions of state mapmakers, unless those decisions violate the Constitution or federal law. But the Republicans’ proposal confounds two distinct legal concepts and assumes, wrongly, that partisan gerrymanders are constitutional.

In the 2004 case Vieth v. Jubelirer the Supreme Court held 5-4 that a particular partisan gerrymandering suit could not proceed. Notably, however, the Court did not declare that gerrymander constitutional. Rather, it rested its opinion on the notion that courts are not often competent to determine when a partisan gerrymander has occurred or to devise a way to fix it. As Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for a plurality of four justices, “no judicially discernible and manageable standards for adjudicating political gerrymandering claims have emerged.”

The key fifth vote was supplied by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who also warned that “we have no basis on which to define clear, manageable, and politically neutral standards for measuring the particular burden a given partisan classification imposes on representational rights.” Thus, he concluded that many partisan gerrymanders would have to be tolerated — even if they violate the Constitution — because he did not believe that courts currently have the tools they need to identify and cure such gerrymanders.

Significantly, however, Kennedy also left open the possibility that a standard could emerge in a future case that would allow partisan gerrymanders to be challenged in court. He also strongly suggested that these gerrymanders violate the Constitution. “First Amendment concerns arise where a State enacts a law that has the purpose and effect of subjecting a group of voters or their party to disfavored treatment by reason of their views,” Kennedy wrote. “In the context of partisan gerrymandering, that means that First Amendment concerns arise where an apportionment has the purpose and effect of burdening a group of voters’ representational rights.”

Scalia and Kennedy’s concern that it is difficult for judges to develop a principled rule that allows them to sort unconstitutional gerrymanders from some other kind is not frivolous. Does a map become unconstitutional if Republicans make up 40 percent of a state’s voters but 45 percent of its members of Congress? What if Republicans receive 60 percent of the state’s congressional seats? What if they receive none of them? At least in marginal cases, it is not at all easy for judges to tell an intentionally gerrymandered state from a mere mathematical anomaly.

But Virginia is not a marginal case. Among other things, in most partisan gerrymandering cases, the state’s Republican delegation to the House of Representatives typically does not show up in court with a brief openly admitting that the state’s maps were drawn with the explicit purpose of rigging congressional elections in order to ensure an 8-3 delegation. This is not, in other words, a case where there are “no judicially discernible and manageable standards” that will enable a court to determine whether a particular set of districts constitutes a partisan gerrymander. The court need only listen to what the Republican lawmakers who benefit most from this gerrymander have conceded to the court.

The Republican lawmakers’ admission, in other words, should enable the courts to broaden the scope of this litigation. It is an admission that each of the state’s districts was drawn with an anti-democratic and, if Justice Kennedy is to be believed, unconstitutional purpose, and should justify tossing out the entire map. This is, admittedly, an unlikely outcome given the current makeup of the Supreme Court, but it is the correct outcome under the Constitution.

INFOTAINMENT CONFUSION SYNDROME

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart weighed in on the Brian Williams debacle and his tales about taking fire in Iraq and whether or not he was suffering from a case of "infotainment confusion syndrome" where the “celebrity cortex” gets its wires crossed with the "medulla-anchor-dala."

After having a bit more fun with Williams and showing the media frenzy over the scandal, Stewart told the audience that this might seem a bit overblown, but he was actually happy.

Finally, someone is being held to account for misleading America about the Iraq War! Finally! Now, it might not necessarily be the first person you'd want held accountable on that list, but never again will Brian Williams mislead this great nation about being shot at in a war we probably wouldn't have ended up in if the media had applied this level of certainty to the actual fucking war.

After verbally bitch slapping the whiners opining over whether the media has a "credibility problem" following the ruckus with Williams, Stewart reminded his audience of the batch of lies we were fed leading up to the invasion of Iraq, and wondered if the incident with Williams would cause any reflection on their part. I think we all already know what the answer to that question is.

VIRGINIA CRISES PREGNANCY CENTER CAUGHT LYING

SURPRISE!

An new undercover investigation into Virginia’s right-wing “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) exposes the blatant misinformation about women’s health, as well as the shame-based messages surrounding sexuality, that their employees typically impart to patients. NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia — which has been working for years to expose the dozens of CPCs in the state — caught the lies on tape and released their findings on Wednesday.

NARAL recorded a counseling session between a young woman and a CPC employee. The woman received false information about the risks of hormonal birth control, misleading explanations about how contraception works, and judgmental messages about her decision to be sexually active before getting married. During the conversation, the CPC counselor repeatedly suggested that her organization was more trustworthy than the staff at abortion clinics, since abortion providers are ultimately trying to convince their patients to spend money at the clinic. “I’m not lying to you, sweetie — why would I lie to you? I’m not asking you to give me anything here,” she said. “We’re a pregnancy health and education center.”

For several minutes, a CPC employee told horror stories about the dangers of being on birth control, saying she typically tries to talk women out of using it. She likened birth control to “tremendous dosages of steroids,” and belittled her patient for opting to flood her body with artificial hormones. “You really want that stuff inside of you? You have a brain, think and choose here,” she said. “Any of that stuff is just not good for you.”

According to the CPC counselor, birth control is dangerous because taking it for four years before becoming pregnant can increase women’s chance of getting breast cancer by 48 percent. She repeatedly referred to the “carcinogens” in contraception. She also cautioned her client to “read the fine print,” warning that even if she would never choose to have an abortion, she could accidentally end up aborting a fetus while using hormonal contraception. “If you’re on the pill, on the patch, on the shot, and get pregnant… Unintentionally, you will abort that baby because the uterus cannot sustain that pregnancy because the lining has been so altered by those steroids, the artificial hormones,” she claimed.

The CPC employee falsely asserted that condoms and birth control pills are about equally effective at preventing pregnancy, and claimed that using condoms doesn’t actually prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. “They’re naturally porous — there’s always a chance of them breaking, a chance of spillage,” she said. “The only safe sex is no sex.”

The conversation also quickly took a religious bent. “If you’re not married, why are you having sex?” the CPC counselor asked her client. “That’s why you feel like you have to put these hormones in your body — the more you have sex, the more chance you have of getting pregnant.” Later, she added, “Confined to a marriage, of course, sex is expected — you believe in God, that’s the whole plan of God.”

This is hardly the first report of its kind. Another recent undercover investigation at a crisis pregnancy center in Ohio recorded similar misinformation and conservative religious bias during an appointment with a counselor. And previous research from NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia has discovered that at least 40 of the state’s 58 CPCs are telling their clients medically inaccurate information about birth control and abortion.

Still, the organization’s newest report is more confirmation that CPCs, which typically attempt to position themselves as unbiased medical resources, are actually operating within the anti-choice community. “This shocking audio exposes Virginia CPCs for what they are: anti-choice field offices designed to mislead, shame, and lie to women during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives,” Tarina Keene, the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia, said in a statement. “Regardless of your stance on abortion, we can all agree that anyone seeking health care services and advice should receive comprehensive, non-judgmental, and factually accurate information.”

There is significant evidence that disseminating misinformation about birth control does a disservice to public health. Abstinence-only health classes, which impart similar factually-inaccurate information about sexual health resources, have contributed to a generation of young Americans who don’t believe using birth control makes any difference, and are therefore more inclined to skip it. A full 60 percent of young adults believe that contraception is less effective than it actually is.

Nevertheless, Virginia’s right-wing CPCs actually receive significant endorsement from state officials. Under the state’s forced ultrasound law, women are required to have a sonogram before they can proceed with an abortion — and all 18 of the health clinics that the health department suggests women can visit to fulfill that requirement are crisis pregnancy centers. And Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) — who’s currently running for governor — has been extremely vocal about his support for CPCs. He spearheaded an effort to get the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to begin offering “Choose Life” license plates, the proceeds of which directly fund CPCs.

I find that lying is second nature to the little servants of darkness pretending to be religious conservatives. As a Virginian, I am not surprised, but very much appalled. Virginia where governor ultrasound presides, where sodomy is a crime against nature and where women's reproductive health is seriously endangered.

Nothing to see here, move on!

KNUCKLE DRAGGERS

THE GOP CIRCA 2012

The GOP and its radical ideology/mentality are very Neanderthal-ish, so much so that even today, circa 2012, these troglodytes if you will, still think its cool and OK to roam the planet and have their knuckles dragging the pavement. 

Mitt Robme and Lying Ryan are proposing the query, "are you better of today than four years ago"?

NFTOS has found a treasure of gold with a little help from Ed Shultz of MSBNC fame.

The below clip is almost to the day exactly four years old. This frantic speech from G. W. Bush was given from the White House September 24th, 2008.




Now you tell me, are we better off than four years ago?
