The withdrawal, or more precisely its execution, is actually a legit point of criticism. As is Biden administration's COVID handling, which hasn't been as good as it could have been either. I'm surprised the conservative media sphere hasn't pressed on it more. I guess they really don't want to draw comparisons to how Lord Dampnut handled it and how bad it looks compared to someone doing even a halfway decent job.

New Conspiracy Theory: Children Kidnapped for Mars Slave Colony
...
On Thursday (June 29), a guest on Alex Jones' radio show named Robert David Steele claimed that Mars is inhabited — by people sent to the Red Planet against their will.
"We actually believe that there is a colony on Mars that is populated by children who were kidnapped and sent into space on a 20-year ride, so that once they get to Mars, they have no alternative but to be slaves on the Mars colony," Steele told Jones, the founder of the controversial InfoWars website.
The best bit: NASA had to officially respond to the stories.
Quote:
"There are no humans on Mars. There are active rovers on Mars. There was a rumor going around last week that there weren't. There are," Guy Webster, a spokesman at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who specializes in the agency's Mars-exploration activities, told The Daily Beast. "But there are no humans."
So from the wording it sounds like the full rumors were that the *rovers* are a hoax and don't exist, but they're just NASA's cover for an entire functional Cabal-owned Mars slave colony full of all the supposed missing children.
Yeah I got this tidbit from the latest episode (159) of QAnonAnonymous, which brought it up because Robert David Steele, who is also an anti-vaxx influencer recently died of Covid. He seems like an old school kitchen sink conspiracy theorist instead of a QAnon pilled guy, but he's pulled bits from QAnon in there too.

Sadly Robert David Steele passed away on 28 August 2021 of COVID-19 pneumonia.
You can click on the Blog tab of his website and see it's just wall to wall vaccines are a hoax stuff, right up to the point he dropped dead. So on one hand you can respect that he died by his beliefs, but on the other hand, his beliefs clearly and literally cause people to die, so it's a small relief that the last post on his blog is that he died of Covid after taking that stance.

As for why is this politics news ...
Bio:
Quote:
Laura Elizabeth Loomer (born May 21, 1993[1]) is an American far-right and anti-Muslim political activist,[a]
conspiracy theorist,[2][3] and internet personality. She was the Republican nominee to represent Florida's 21st congressional district in the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections, losing to Democrat Lois Frankel.There's also a QAnonAnonymous episode (#71) all about her if anyone wants a deep-dive on her beliefs and life story, the episode is from Dec 2019, a year before she ran for Congress, here: (
https://podbay.fm/p/qanon-anonymous/e/1577127092) - note, after the intro they have unrelated weekly news headlines/discussion until 8:30 in the podcast, before they get into the Laura Loomer specific stuff. you don't need to listen to the whole stream, 8:30 - 15:00 pretty much sums up who she is and how she operates, with the rest being examples / further stories. Her MO is basically to throw a tantrum which includes bigoted stuff, then when the people basically show you the door for throwing the tantrum, you claim you're being "silenced for your views". Then she got a job working for James O'Keefe - the right wing troll who used doctored videos to get the funding cancelled for Acorn and Planned Parenthood. And as we know, the Republicans apparently later decided this is the type of person we need running the country.

A woman who said she wanted to catch covid to “prove it's like food poisoning” is now begging for prayers.
Right-wing activist Laura Loomer, from Florida, claims she has “brutal” symptoms from the virus and she is suffering from body aches and nausea.
The 28-year-old also says she has a soar throat, fever and feels like she “got hit by a bus”.
“Just pray for me please,” she wrote on Gettr - a social media platform created by former Trump spokesman Jason Miller.
“Can't even begin to explain how brutal the body aches and nausea that come with covid are. I am in so much pain.
“This is honestly the worst part about it.”
She later took to her Telegram page to write that she has taken
Regeneron, Azithromycin, and Hydroxychloroquine to treat her symptoms.
Previously, she had claimed that Covid-19 is a hoax. Back in December 202, she wrote on the Parler website: “I hope I get covid just so I can prove to people I've had bouts of food poisoning that are more serious and life threatening than a hyped up virus.
“Have you ever eaten bad fajitas? That will kill you faster than covid.”
This is the symptom of the lowest ranks of the snake oil peddlers: you're not supposed to actually *take* the snake oil when you yourself get sick!
This shit is now clearly ripping through the non-vaxxed ranks of the right wing at an alarming rate, with the amount of well known conspiracy and right-wing influencers getting or dying of Covid in recent weeks. Get ready for a wild ride over winter there: bunker down if not vaxxed. A full Northern Hemisphere winter of the Delta variant is going to hit and we don't know what that's going to be like.

See why GOP-like politicians are the world cultural CANCER?
I bet that when the number of deaths in right wing activists will rise they'll claim that COVID-19 is a "CATHEDRAL" weapon precisely targeting them to "exterminate" them like the "jews" (remember my words about tactical pervertion of left wing buzzwords).

I kinda want to share the Laura Loomer origin story now for people who don't want to check the audio. She was at college, and basically nobody liked her, she mentions nobody would sit near her or eat with her. She claims this was because she had "conservative views" but in light of the other information, it's most likely that she was a bigot, had an obnoxious personality and refused to listen to anyone, while being prone to flying off the handle. So she was basically obnoxious and her beliefs weren't the important part.
Then, at an interfaith prayer meeting she heard a muslim imam say "alu ackbar" and started raving to everyone that he's a terrorist and why, oh god why, won't they do anything, and made blog posts on right wing sites about it. "alu ackbar" just means "god is great" and is used in a lot of everyday situations, prayers, and not just terrorist attacks. Equivalent phrases in English are "oh god", "thank god" etc.
Nobody took Laura's tantrum seriously so she demanded to get a copy of the pamphlet that was handed out before the interfaith prayer meeting. The college clerk said it's ok, but, oops, we don't have any copies left of that pamphlet, so we can't give you one. Laura then flipped the shit out, and start raving about how it was a conspiracy to cover up what went on at the interfaith meeting and they're hiding the pamphlet as a cover up.
The right wing then decided this was the type of hard-hitting no-nonsense budding investigative journalist they needed, with a bright future in politics, despite her clearly being *unable find a copy of a pamphlet that everyone was given*. She herself was at the prayer meeting, she either didn't bother to get the pamphlet, either before or after she heard the guy say 'alu ackbar" or she got it but already threw it away.
So her "journalistic" tactics are: being willfully ignorant, lying and misrepresentation, tantrums, and more tantrums when you ask for a copy of EASILY OBTAINABLE media, but the one person you ask doesn't have a copy: she's really lazy too, in other words. She didn't even ask who made the pamphlet and whether she could get their email address. Super great investigative journalist in other words.
EDIT: it's an aside, but she sells a novelization of her life on her website, where she is a *secret agent* fighting a combined conspiracy by muslims, mexicans crime lords and leftists. AND the pitch for the book claims it was "thoroughly researched" by READING HEADLINES.

Quote:
you HAVE to read, The Switch, a fictional novel written and created by best selling author, Julie Reichwein,
based on real life headlines of a partnership between the Mexican Drug Cartels, the Maoist group, The Shining Path, the New Mexico jihadists, and what might happen if Laura Loomer decided to make them her next target.
...
This book is fiction, and although
thoroughly researched to be accurate in the historical events depicted, it is still fiction written by a fan of Laura Loomer for pure enjoyment and to support Laura's work through a potion of the proceeds.
Which is it? "thoroughly researched" or "based on real life headlines"? Those two statements are clearly contradictory. Nobody who actually wrote a book and did the actual research would ever write in the pitch that its based on "headlines". You'd say it's based on reports, stories, events etc. Never "headlines" unless you only took the headlines then basically winged everything else.
I'm 99% sure what they actually mean by "thorough" here is that they read *lots* of headlines to find the good ones.

Yeah, that's the human target to grow as a right wing activist: the desperately incompetent lunatic.

Ugh, I'm listening to the podcast again, I'd forgotten most of the specifics. Her worst stunt so far is the time she picked up three hispanic men who were looking for work, hoping they were illegal immigrants, then took them to Nancy Pelosi's house, trespassed past the property's wall. The plan was to trigger a police reaction to turn up and get the men arrested inside Nancy Pelosi's "wall" to apparently highlight the "hypocrisy" of Nancy Pelosi opposing the border wall, while having a wall (around her private house). The three men they roped in on the false promise of getting a laborer paycheck were not apparently an issue that anyone involved considered to be unethical journalism, especially considering they apparently *hoped* those people were illegals and would be deported to really sell the story.
As for other stunts, her first one guided by James O'Keefe involved going to her college admin and asking to start an ISIS club to help women/children/orphans in the ISIS controlled area. The admin person was stunned and said "WTF" basically, and suggested she NOT do that and instead start something that refers to raising money to help women/children/orphans in the "middle east". Basically she came up with something offensive herself, but then used the women/children angle to make it deliberately ambiguous so that the admin wouldn't know how to respond, and when the admin basically tried to steer her, politely, to something less offensive, they used that against them. The real issue is that the admin isn't *allowed* to outright say your idea is fucked, especially with anything revolving around sensitive issues such as race, religion, women and children. This was then edited down and pushed on right-wing media to claim the college admin had "approved a pro-ISIS club".
To end on the funniest stunt however, she was permabanned on Twitter, so she handcuffed herself to a door on the Twitter main offices and yelled at everyone passing by. Twitter declined to press charges and she refused to release herself, so the police just put a bit of metal fencing on either side of her and left her there. After it was getting dark and everyone had gone home, she begged police to cut her free.

Metal fencing? For these people we need MENTAL fencing :p

To leave people with some good amusement, possibly the funniest, most unbelievable episode of QANonAnonymous, about conspiracy theorist, and possibly the most psychopathic and brain-damaged, threat to everyone within a mile's radius "actor" Jim Caviezel.

In this one the conspiracy stuff takes a backseat and it's about a mentally unstable and physically dangerous actor. Trust me, this is a ride.
