I don't think I've talked about Laura Loomer yet, and oh boy I didn't think it would be in the context of her defending Musk, but here we are. Loomer has long been a bomb-thrower, looking for any item she could rally for/against to get engagement and views. 1/

It's not that MAGA/Trump fans can't understand nuanced argument or economic policy; it's that they are ACTING IN BAD FAITH and don't generally care about being viewed as hypocrites. Don't expect consistency!!

So, I'd say it's concerning that they are letting someone like Jack Posobiec tag along on ANY serious government mission of any sort -- this gives these guys credibility they absolutely do not need or deserve. bsky.app/profile/hann...

Our old friend Mike Cernovich popped up in a thread from the head twit, and it's even dumber then I could imagine. Cernovich: We really were a quarter of an inch away from outright communism Musk: Yup 1/

I try to focus on what figures around the far right do then politicians and their aides, but I have to talk quickly about two things that happened recently with the press secretary. She was asked about Musks claims of fraud, and about his conflicts of interest. 1/

I have a post about Chris Rufo from the bad site, but I think you might still enjoy it. Ron DeSantis let Rufo and co. take total control over a very well respected university and they immediately ran it into the ground. Its a glorified degree-granting athletics department now - h/t lib_crusher 1/

Surprisingly, I haven't talked about Mario Nawfal yet, but he's long been a "news breaker" in the SV-right ecosystem. What he's doing here though is "salting", or trying to build up a narrative to discredit the reporting someone has done, without actually addressing the reporting itself. 1/

There was another whiff of Mike Benz, this time coming from the Head Twit as a QT. QT: it ain't dead yet, but already, and for the first time, a hole has been put in the Terror Titanic (Seems he QT'd Nero) 1/

Well, it's a day ending in Y, so let's take a look at another bad far-right take: About 99% of Americans had no idea what USAID was 30 seconds ago and if they had known they'd demand it be closed years ago. Every type of wasteful federal project imaginable came out of that useless institution. 1/

While it's important to call out lies, you have to remember that people acting in bad faith don't have shame or remorse, so pointing out contradictions like this won't impact their approach. Patel didn't forget he promoted QAnon or that he went on Stew Peters show -- he was answering to please. 1/

To be clear, the head twit is making up "crimes" now when his minions are properly identified. The minions that are actually committing crimes by "investigating" agencies at his behest, without congressional approval. So he had the post rules violated, even though HE HIMSELF has done this before.
