So Ken Chesebro, thinking that Trump is now going to get off scot free of his charges, decides to change his mind about his own guilty plea and take his chances.

Judge says “Nope”.

He probably needs more protein in his diet.

Lean meat. Cat, or dog, maybe.

As if we didn’t already know Alex was an idiot: “Alt-right political personality Jack Posobiec wrote on X that he had spoken to Bruesewitz after the “brief fainting spell onstage” and that, “All levels are normal.” Posobiec added: “Only thing he asked me was, ‘Did it look cool?’”

He’s right to be concerned. Trump is notoriously obsessed with how things look–if the guy looked like a doofus, his cashing-in-on-proximity-to-power days may be numbered.

He didn’t just look like a doofus, he looked like he was having an actual stroke.

We can only hope this kills his career.

His retirement from the political scene would certainly be a boon to all (particularly to immigrants, who appear to be his favorite target).

So Laura Loomer is having a catfight with Elmo. What fun!

> **['We voted for Trump, not you': MAGA ally escalates fight with Elon Musk](https://www.rawstory.com/laura-loomer-elon-musk/)**

> Far-right Trump influencer and failed Florida congressional candidate Laura Loomer escalated her growing public battle with tech billionaire Elon Musk on Thursday, after he deigned to respond to several of her rants earlier in the morning.Loomer has...

Some highlights:

> Loomer has demanded President-elect Donald Trump purge his incoming administration of “Big Tech” influence, particularly taking issue with tech CEOs’ support for high-skilled visa programs and the influx of Indian immigrants to work at their companies.

> “Loomer is trolling for attention. Ignore,” replied Musk.

> “Telling the truth isn’t trolling. Read the room!” she wrote. “You bought your way into MAGA 5 minutes ago after Trump almost had his head blown off in Butler. Remember when you voted for Biden and propped up @GovRonDeSantis and you said Trump was too old? We all know you only donated your money so you could influence immigration policy and protect your buddy [Xi JinPing](https://www.rawstory.com/tag/xi-jinping). You pretend like you have made such a sacrifice and investment donating to Trump and buying X, but you have only increased your own wealth and the wealth of your companies by practically invading Mar a Lago while trying to become Trump’s side piece. Isn’t that why you wanted so much hands on control over the spending bill and direct communication with @SpeakerJohnson?”

Oh, boy. Loomer complaint that Musk wanted to be Trump’s “side piece” really must have really hit her where it hurts. She wanted to be Trumps side piece.

Pass the popcorn.

Unfortunately Loomer can’t win this pissing match. Trump knows that his women are disposable but billionaires are relatively scarce.
