return2ozmaRight-Wing Influencer Laura Loomer Testified Under Oath That Lindsey Graham Is Gay
sramderThis ain’t good.
TommySodaI hate both of them as much as the next guy, but that’s the funniest shit I’ve read all day.
jballsEspecially the context. LMFAO
“Several of President Trump’s staff have told me in confidence that Lindsey Graham is gay,” Loomer said, unprompted during the deposition, according to the Daily Beast.
“Hold on, Ms. Loomer, there’s no question,” Maher’s attorney replied.
I mean, everyone knows? Like, everyone knows. Everyone has known for at least a decade. I will never understand why he just doesn’t come out, it’s not like the Rs don’t have the occasional “good” queer they tolerate for the optics, it’s just mystifying.
Coopr8South Carolina's Republican Party is not known for electing diversity.
Those “good gays” are always kept on the fringes where they can be ignored or disposed of when convenient. They aren’t supposed to have real power.
The ‘good’ ones are still expected to have a fixed partner and be monogamous, which is definitely what Graham is about if the rumours are to be believed.
ToastedRavioliOne of many reasons why we have VP Vance instead of VP Graham
One possible reason. But Vance seems to me to be a bit light in his loafers as well, so I’m unconvinced.
But that’s what he’s doing. He’s being a “good” queer, which means he’s publicly denying it. That’s the kind of homosexual they tolerate: the one who’s ashamed of it.
Pope-King JoeI’m not trying to shame anyone but… Gods she is unpleasant to look at.
Doesn’t even look human after the surgery.
I see she’s only 32? That’s crazy.
Geezus 32?! She looks like she’s mid-40s. I look younger than her and I’m almost 40.
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥42 year old trying to look like 22 year old.
Which averages out at 32.
That’s exactly what I thought, she looks like a 40-something trying to look younger.
That’s rude.
MAGA face
AJMaxwellHis nickname on Capitol Hill is Miss Lindsey for a reason.
I had heard “Lady G” in the past.
Supervisor194“I know she likes to eat at Arby’s,” Loomer added. When asked about whether she was trying to comment on Greene’s body or her sex life, Loomer said, “No. I’m talking about Arby’s, the sandwiches. I’m talking about Arby’s. I would — I’m a very direct person.”
I feel like I’m losing my grip on reality, am I supposed to take something away from this? Is this code or something?
Venus_ZiegenfalleYes, the news have become indistinguishable from 4chan at times.
I had to look this up because I was also very confused. I searched for 5 minutes so I could be wrong but loomer has made this exact comment in the past except far more explicitly and linked to her sex life. They clearly don’t get along and loomer has accused her of having multiple affairs. The roast beef comment is a (not very) thinly veiled slut shaming thing, basically, mocking her because her vagina must look unappealing because she had the audacity to have sex with 3 men (allegedly). The idea that your vagina changes appearance if you have more sexual partners is a myth of course
Basically infighting mixed with internalized misogyny
Thanks Ragebutt
Loomer is insane. There’s no more point in parsing her schizobabble than trying to find meaning in the ranting of a drunk homeless person bellowing about how alien chickens are messing with his head.
This excerpt does NOT do it justice. The whole exchange about Arby’s is insane.
The Lindsey Graham thing is immediately after - there was no prompting it. She brings it up out of nowhere.
Truly unhinged
Loomer is trying to call Magic The Gathering a lesbian.
WesDym@defaultusername Well, I'd be okay with that. I mean, it doesn't even begin to make any sense, but I'd still be okay with it.
“I’m talking about Arby’s. I would – I’m a very direct person”
Fuck Loomer and MTG both but I’m wheezing.
No you’re not tripping america went dumb as fuck. You can basically disregard the idea of america altogether.
File this under, “We knew this already…and don’t care.”
We all can see it.
In 2024, Loomer criticized Graham for having “never been loyal to President Trump” and followed up with, “When is Lindsey coming out of the closet? We all know you’re gay, Lindsey… and that’s ok.”
I sense there is a tinge of the "treacherous homosexual" trope coming up here, from the early 20th Century. Gay people can't be trusted because <insert pointless falsehood>.
While trans people are the focus of the administration's undoing of civil rights right now, my sixth sense tells me they are coming after all of the LGBTQ+ once they are done "fixing" immigration and lives don't actually improve as promised.
They've already started. Most recent is Kim Davis (remember the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue same sex marriage licenses) just filed a petition with The Supreme Court calling for them to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage)
I really, really hoped I'd never hear her name again... But how would she ever have standing to challenge the court decision? She's not county clerk anymore.
porksnort‘Standing’ is usually just a way for judges to block or promote hearing of cases. It is very arbitrary and squishy.
Due to her previous crimes and involvement in the justice system, followed by her ‘career’ as a ‘public figure’ centered around these issues, a judge can safely grant standing if they feel like doing so.
@manxu In her case, standing is not in dispute, I think, because she is personally subject to forfeiture if she loses. I think it doesn't get much more direct than that. That said, standing doesn't mean she has a legal basis for shooting the moon, either. "The laws of this country caused me harm" is only valid if those laws are found wanting, or incorrectly applied. She's basically saying, "The law is wrong." Okay, you're allowed to make that claim, and we'll see where it goes.
Thanks for the reply! Very informative and I agree. I point out, though, that she doesn't have beef with the law, per se, but with a prior SCOTUS ruling. That is, she doesn't seem to object to the law portion ("a county clerk has to fulfill the duties of their position") but to the idea that gay marriage is one of her duties, which came about because of Obergefell, right?
@manxu I honestly think she's just trying to evade responsibility, any way she can. I don't think she's got a sophisticated grasp of law, or much else. It's Liberty Counsel that wants the law reversed. They're using each other for their own goals. LC needs a test case, and she doesn't want to have to pay the fine. Her beef is that the law affected her personally, though that's as much due to choices she made, including running for that office in the first place, knowing this could happen.
/2
@manxu 2/ It was Obergefell which created the conflict for her, but she was aware that was possible when she ran, or at should have been. I'd say her main problem -- and LC's -- is a fundamental difference with the Constitution over separation of church and state. I happen to believe they're wrong.
@usernameless Her motive is more material than principled: She's got a huge judgement hanging over her that she's trying to unload, and for her this case is a Hail Mary pass she probably knows is unlikely to succeed for her. But for the firm making the case, Liberty Counsel, it's ideological, and they're frankly just crazy assholes.
That's just the latest. There are plenty more attacks on the entire lgbt+ to choose from: https://glaad.org/trump-accountability-tracker/
Of course he is.
Yeah I bet Lindsey is the kind of guy who will block the release of the Epstein files and protect the pedos in the Trump admin
Loomer’s word is utterly worthless, and, unless she actually saw Graham having sex with someone, her opinion is nothing but hearsay anyway.
And there are plenty of valid reasons to despise Graham, but his sexuality isn’t one.
Nobody hates Lindsay Graham for being gay, the hate is that he’s gay and a bigot.
Idk if we should be extra mad at a bigot just because they are gay. Seems to me like we should be the normal amount of mad
I agree. I’m mad at him because he has betrayed the people of the country he is supposed to serve more times than I can count. Sexuality, gender, race, etc. have no bearing on my feelings about him.
cjoll4We’re not extra mad because he’s gay, we’re extra mad because he’s a hypocrite.
I’ve yet to find a bigot who isn’t a hypocrite.
You should be extra mad about someone being publicly anti gay but privately gay
If someone is a bigot, that’s one reason to be mad at them.
If someone is a bigot or allies with bigots against something that they themselves are (publicly or privately), that’s at least three reasons to be mad at them: bigotry, hypocrisy, and betrayal of other people who are the same thing.
I hate Lindsey Graham for having the audacity to talk and act the way he does while not even owning a seersucker suit.
Even if, no external observation can prove or disprove sexuality.
Also, this is news to nobody.
@Randelung It's also, even with the best evidence, an outdated model of sexuality, a vestige of 19th century thinking. Gay ACTS don't prove anyone's gay, any more than their absence proves they're not. Humans are not robots, but highly complex neurologically, psychologically, and socially.
Lalo is, as usual, a demented, backwards assclown. No one actually cares that Graham is gay, only that he's a jerk politically, and sometimes hypocritical. Like a LOT of politicians are.
If you want to regret having eyes, read the Grahams “lady big” story.
I think it was last left as a fake story.
You mean “lady bug”
As much of a piece of shit as Loomer is, Lindsey Graham is seriously the worst. Anything that diminishes his political capital is a positive for the entire world.
