Donald Trump’s administration stopped all visitor visas from Gaza — including those for humanitarian and medical aid — on Saturday after far-right provocateur and Trump friend Laura Loomer posted about several Palestinian children being allowed into the U.S. for medical care amid Israel’s relentless siege and blockade.

The State Department said it will “conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,” in a post on X.

“It’s amazing how fast we can get results from the Trump administration,” Loomer wrote on X, adding an applause emoji.”

Jigsaw had a level of intelligence that surpasses the total sum of the Trump regime's intellect.

As terrible as Temu quality is, it isn't so bad that it could account for the quality drop.

Wouldn't be surprised if she takes paychecks from Israel.

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago

Well, we all know she signed a deal with the devil.

What kind of fucking trash would oppose children stuck in a 'war zone' coming to their country for medical treatment?

We used to be a great nation, that would do that readily and freely, because we could, and it was the right thing to do. Now Trump and his pedo party deny everyone health care and support, both foreign and domestic, citizen or not, insured or not

There's only one cure for Trump and anyone supporting him. It's about time to administer it

All the people who saw the last rise of fascism have died and only their bratty, waste-of-space kin are left in charge.

Could someone actually melt her down? That would be preferable.

[–] swagmoney@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

melt, burn, vaporize. dealers choice lol

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

All 3 works

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago

At this point I wish we did have space lasers to aim at her. She should be a little spot of ash on the Washington Mall.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Fuckin jigsaw deserves what's coming to her eventually.

I think he knows he’s dying soon, so he’s not scared of these kinds of consequences. Plus he’s a psychopath so he doesn’t care if it comes down on anyone else.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Headkicks all around.

There isn’t a hell hot enough for her.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

She needs the Dominic Greene treatment from Quantum of Solace.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 weeks ago

Imagine being so unhinged and devoid of empathy that you consider child victims of genocide being allowed medical treatment to be a BAD thing, let alone an outrageous scandal.

Laura Loomer is a fucking tumor on the nervous system of public discourse and should be excised for the good of humanity.

[–] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It looks like she is wearing the face of a deceased person over her own like a psychopath.

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago

She does look like a freak.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Your medical claim was denied peasant child

At least the villains in the comics had some redeeming qualities and some were even likable but god damn this irl timeline.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Used to think that comic books characters were sometimes too black and white, oh boy was I in for a surprise

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago

I was gobsmacked when I found out who she married -- that Martin Shkreli lizard. Who would actually be so morally bankrupt to sleep with that evil guy... LOOMER. He is the hedge fund dude invested in pharma. In September 2015, Shkreli was widely criticized when Turing obtained the manufacturing license for the antiparasitic drug Daraprim and raised its price to insurance companies from $13.50 to $750.00 (USD) per pill.

So it tracks. She is a lizard person and hope I get a ringside seat to see her fry in hell. She is vile.. evil, and garbage.

How did they get out of Gaza?

Jesus fucking christ

This will definitely be useful evidence for the ICJ.

Not a god damn thing has sailed. The speed with which some of y’all give up, and accept the current status quo as the way things will always be, absolutely astounds me. The backbone of a wet noodle, the foresight of a fruit fly, and the resilience of a tissue.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago

Well if she's chosen her side, there's always more room on the stockade

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

we really need to see her in southpark, her cartoonish levels of black and white vileness is perfect for this
