Laura Loomer, with Roger Stone in tow, wins Florida House Republican primary. She'll face Lois Frankel in November

WTF? I didn't even know she was running for anything here. Maybe she will handcuff herself to the doors of the state capital building.

"Despite the pandemic, Loomer hosted a blow-out election night watch party for several hundred people at the Hilton Hotel by the West Palm Beach Airport. The party was replete with a coffee bar, appetizers, glittery hats and purses for sale, and life-size cutouts of Loomer and Trump with which guests could pose for pictures."

Oh, I'd bet any amount of money both of those cutouts would test positive for COVID right now.

And protesters and left wing thugs will test negative?

And protesters and left wing thugs will test negative?

Some would, some wouldn't. But all them protestors are wearing masks (so they can't be ID'd) so that helps.  It still spreads from other stuff but it helps.

I laugh at people who think masks will save them. First of all no one will test positive cause there is no Corona. Secondly the government wants you to wear a mask so that you can't breath. In few years from now you will see how many people will develop sicknesses because they were masks all the time. Wearing a mask cuts your oxygen and will cause long term health problems. When the government says something is good for you, it means the opposite. When are you people gonna wake up and realize that government is not your friend. They really don't care about you. Their dream is to depopulate you so they can create a new world they have dreamed about an entire 20th century.

Evidence?

Evidence? (Like all the surgeons over the years that wear a mask for a living...)

Evidence? (Depopulation would mean less revenue and less consumer spending which makes up 90% of our GDP and wealth in the nation)

New earth is a troll, and a bad one tbh. Just ignore him and he will go away.

Who is Laura Loomer?

True, I shouldn’t provide oxygen to an obvious troll. No one could be legitimately that daft.

Who is Laura Loomer?

She's part of the Loomer family.

Who is Laura Loomer?

Just another run of the mill alt-right nutter seeking attention.

Do not turn another fucking thread into a debate about masks and corona virus. This thread is about Florida being retarted.

Fortunately I do not think Laura Loomer will win. I think the district she's running in is majority Democrat.

Pez, this is Laura Loomer https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/far-right-activist-laura-loomer-handcuffs-herself-twitter-s-new-n941891

The party of Lincoln is fast becoming the party of Bigfoot.

I wonder what normal Republicans think about their party being taken over by Qanon types. Are they as annoyed by it as I am by the weirdos in the Democratic party?

If they were annoyed, would they keep voting for them?

I kinda feel bad, the Republican party hasn't been the party of conservatives for a long time now, but they have nowhere to go.

I'm sorry space cowgirl I know this thread is not about mask and I sincerely apologize. I don't mean to derail threads and I respect all the admins. But when someone says that they will get tested positive for Corona virus just because they are conservative and not wear a damn mask, I cannot resist but comment on this non sense. Surgeons wear masks when they have to perform surgery, most surgeries only last an hour. Surgeons do not perform them every day either. However the government is forcing us to wear masks at our work places, stores, restaurants, everywhere we go. Some people have to wear a mask 8 to 12 hours a day. Yes they will get sick.

Okay, but what do you think about Laura Loomer?

OK, great.....

.....a load more off topic derailing about masks...

Oh.

Wasn't she in the news a few years ago for some crazy alt-right thing, not the twitter handcuff stunt?

Edit:  I figured out where I knew her from.  She was the one that jumped the fence at Pelosi's house to protest illegal immigrants, which happened in January 2019.  It's weird that January 2019 feels like it was 4 years ago.

Just taking the opportunity to say I think your right

The party of Lincoln is fast becoming the party of Bigfoot.

Why do people keep calling the republicans "the party of Lincoln" when they swapped platforms with the democrats many years ago?

Because Republican's don't like calling themselves the party of slavery. Or the party that was against civil rights. Or the party that was against letting women vote.

Conservatives: Supporting the wrong side of every important issue since slavery.

I like that one.

I wonder what normal Republicans think about their party being taken over by Qanon types. Are they as annoyed by it as I am by the weirdos in the Democratic party?

ab-so-fuckin-lootly

What's the Democratic equivalent of the the Qanon theory that Hillary and Obama ran a secret child molesting and cannibalistic ring from the non-exsistant basement of a NY pizza shop and that Trump is pretending to be stupid so he can take down the entire Democratic party and put them all in prison?

There is stuff I dislike about weirdos in my party but nothing close to that crazyness! 

It doesn't have to be exactly the same for me to be annoyed and think it is bad. We may not have pizzagate on our side, but our side is becoming more illiberal every day.  Shutting down free speech and the free exchange of ideas is one of our biggest problems on the left. I'm not talking about our constitutional right to speech, the govt isn't doing it (corporate social media is), I mean in the colloquial sense. We are teaching people not to be resilient, not to think, not to have the ability to back up their convictions with facts. Our side is promoting DEI (or DIE as the Gadfather calls it) in ways that do not make sense. Our side gets the vapors over the fact that 2+2=4. Words are violence, silence is violence. Objective reality is a social construct. So much weirdness I can't even list it all.
