Laura Loomer has gone totally off the rails. Attacking the guy who beat her in the primary as even less healthy than Biden, claiming she won the election and the Republicans cheated her of the victory, and even said “Everybody knows I’m the member if Congress” from the district. I guess the November general electio9n is a foregone conclusion. I wonder if she’s going to show up at the Capitol in January and try to claim the seat. ---

Hawaii is about as blue as you can get. The winner of the Democratic primary gets elected with token GQP opposition. The 3rd (third???) place Republican in their primary for governor is claiming fraud. This guy didn’t qualify to sweep up the horseshit after the election parade. ---

Thanks to Trump and the congressional Republicans who enable him, this is going to be standard operating procedure for Republicans who lose elections. If there’s one thing a Republican can always cling to, it’s bullshit. ---
