Looks like it's part of the revenge campaign against MTG's revolt and crusade to release the Epstein files. Milo worked closely with her, and according to this (poorly sourced) article, Laura Loomer recently reported him for being in the country illegally:
It's meant to strike fear into the fracturing GOP influencer base. Candance Owens is next on the list. Anyone else who worked for MTG is likely to become a target as well.
Evil always eats its own.
We really don't have to do anything right. They'll just destroy each other.
They will eventually, but they'll destroy everything weaker than them first.
The thing is that evil is a tactical decision - it ignores strategic goals for immediate gratification. Risk / reward calculations are predicated on short term solutions for immediate problems, and long term effects are ignored until they can't be anymore.
For this reason, evil societies don't work well - people are viewed as disposable resources to be spent to maintain short term gains, not as investments in the future collective wealth of the society. This means that social cohesion is based not on trust, but on fear - fear that someone higher up the chain will take what you have and discard you the moment you're not useful. This also means that to survive in such a society, you have to be willing to exploit those below you in the social hierarchy. There's no benefit in building things, because they'll just be consumed by those above you with little to no reward - it's more profitable to take from those beneath you.
This leads to infighting, backstabbing, and eventually the splintering of the evil society into warring factions while the infrastructure that supported the society collapses from neglect.
Good, on the other hand, is a strategic decision. By supporting the people around you, you are positioning yourself to be helped by them in the future. Good understands that a group of weak people can be powerful if they choose to unify and build a society together. Good doesn't eat its own because it understands that if one member of the group is suffering, the overall goals of the group are suffering. Good societies persist because they make the best strategic use of their most valuable resource - people - by empowering them to build a future.
Evil has no future. Just endless insatiable hunger and fear.
Beautifully written. Thanks.
They always try to fuck each other over in their crabs-in-bucket way, either trying to con their way to the top or destroy each other on the way down.
Somehow, my reporting both Musk and Melania never resulted in them getting taken in by ICE - this is discrimination!!!
Is there any precedent for fascists continuously narrowing the circle of who is acceptable and who is the precariat? And gradually turning on each other?
Any just barely within living memory?
She later died of a broken heart.
Or a missing face. There are so many these days it's hard to keep track.
Any whose leader created a bunker under a ballroom?
And one day finally became a painter?
It's quicker than I thought though. I thought they'd go for the black republicans first, not the gay, white dudes. I thought they were more racist than homophobic, especially with Theil funding their evil.
It's mainly because Loomer made him a target, and he has no protection within the administration after MTG's revolt. Plus, it's a shot across the bow to Candance Owens, who isn't playing ball either, but she's got too big an audience to fuck with directly... for now.
I have a feeling that her days are numbered given that she's been attacking Israel and Jews in general for longer than Bibi has been indicted.
