Part of the reason we even have judges is to rule on things that fall into the cracks of the laws. In this new world of heavily interconnected social media, I think we need a judge to have the guts to rule that “stochastic terrorism” is a thing. That anyone who regularly and systematically says things that rile up the craziest or stupidest people on the internet, and get them to do things like issue threats, are committing an offence. “But I had no idea that could happen!” should no longer be a viable defense. We all know it can happen, we all know it does happen, and as a society, we don’t need to keep pretending otherwise just to coddle the worst people in our society.
In a fiery social media post on Thursday, far-right provocateur and fervent Donald Trump ally Laura Loomer took aim at South Carolina U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a fellow Trump acolyte, calling for the senator to come out of the closet. Graham has said he wasn’t gay.
The post, which came in response to Graham’s recent comments criticizing Trump’s provocative style, has put a spotlight again on longstanding rumors about Graham’s personal life despite his previous denials.
“Lindsey Graham has never been loyal to President Trump,” Loomer wrote on X (formerly Twitter), adding, “When is Lindsey coming out of the closet? We all know you’re gay, Lindsey… and that’s ok.”
I guess “Lady G” thinks coming out of the closet would hurt his career.
Trumps hour long North Carolina speech today is on youtube, but here’s the greatest hits. MeidasTouch (14:00). Linking in the middle at his most unhinged plan.
I would inform the threatening country Iran we are going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens.
Sorry. I meant to come back to this a couple of days ago. I guess I was being too subtle. I was riffing on the carpetbagger characterization the pubbies leveled against Ms. Clinton when she ran for political office in the state of New York. Now, to nobody’s surprise, a prominent pubby is sending his non-NY resident child to a university in New York. What? Florida’s schools aren’t good enough?
Trump is a resident of Florida, do we know if Melania changed her residency? I was under the impression that she and Barron spent most of their time in NYC.
