She left for Beijing on June 17, 3 days after he was hospitalized.

Well, she had to make sure he wasn’t improving before leaving.

Guys, it looks like the Republicans may have lied to us again /s

McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14, according to a statement from his office that only said he was “receiving excellent care.” A statement a week later said that he would not be voting that week. And on Thursday, *a new statement said that he “continues to improve” and ”appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”***

Might be true. But if Laura Loomer told me that the sun would rise tomorrow as usual, I'd buy every flashlight and battery I could find before sleeping.

Such is life with zero credibility. I wouldn’t trust her to watch my garden pavers.

I have a crumbling asphalt driveway she can watch. Hopefully it goes missing or something.

Not as unlikely as you may think!

Thank you for this ridiculous story. Hahaha. We live in a crazy world, huh? I’m not even mad though, stealing a driveway is just impressive.

Careful. One time I parked my car in front of her house with an accordion in the back seat. Two hours later I come back and the rear window was busted out and, sure enough, there were now two accordions.

She can always make a bad situation worse.

I only trust Laura Loomer to rival Jigsaw in creepiness.

Yep, I’d be the proud owner of every Coleman lantern and match book in town. She is the most tweaked out, nasty, insane one of them and that’s a high fucking bar. When she started hating on Candace Owens (another lunatic), there was a split second where I thought maybe I should give her another chance, because of the implication of me and Laura Loomer being on the same side of literally any issue.

Might be true? Are you serious? An 84 year old dinosaur is found unconscious, he's brain dead, at best.

Cher should adopt Loomer, she's a good mom to people with the face disorders, if I recall correctly.
