These were happier times with MTG WTF?
Now that Loomer's wacko influence is mainstreaming, she merits a closer look:

Somehow I missed this story.
It's incredible that he's pulled her closer, she even attended the 9/11 ceremonies with him as well as the debate.Vrede too wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 7:13 pmWe've been following Laura Loomer for years:These were happier times with MTG WTF?

If history is a guide she ain't making much with her lawyering for the Great Welcher, either. She needs a different sugar daddy client.

New to me. Wiktionary and Urban Dictionary agree:O Really wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 11:25 amSo I see this fluff article about how names develop over time. Mainly making the (doh) point that we still use the same naming method in, for example, a contact list. Firstname, plus some identifying label, like "John - Landscaper" or "Bob - brother and Bob - church"
Well, I usually use full names on my contact list unless the name is so obvious it's not necessary. I have Lady O's full name, perhaps unusual for one's wife, but it's marked "ICE" (a standard for "in case of emergency", not descriptive of her personality) Others may just have a first name if the name is unique or has an unusual spelling. But I have also used identifiers like those in the article.
However, one of the commenters to the article posts:
"William

I put peoples full government name in there. I don't need somebody finding my phone and figuring out how I know people."
"Government name"? I guess that's like "government school", technically correct but usually used in a derogatory sense. Paranoid, maybe, or just cautious on personal security? I'm guessing - guessing - that he's a full tinfoiler.
I've known activists who use street names, but I don't think I've ever heard one say, "My government name is ___________."pronounced: "gov'mint"
someone's actual name recognized by the government, and on official ID. kept secret by most thugs who use their alias, street, hood, nick - name.
yo, son - don't b using my government name up in here.

Thanks. That was O Really's guess and is implied by the Urban Dictionary definition, though it doesn't fully state who the phrase is popular with. It reminds me of the phrase "slave name" describing the christian replacements for African names.Sometime Lefty wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 3:38 pmWatch any youtube video with sovereign citizen in its description. They claim all caps names are a government creation and is not them, the living, breathing, whole man. Because of that ordinances and state laws don't apply to them. Really.
That's a new one to me, too, Deadnaming.

... Higgins has appeared and spoken at events organized by groups such as the Three Percenters and the Oath Keepers, and has claimed to be a "Three Percenter" at speaking engagements.
Higgins is also member of the House Freedom Caucus, and his views have been identified as far-right.
... Citing sources “familiar with the relationship,” The New York Times reported earlier in the day that the first-term Long Island congressman, who’s running for reelection, hired a woman with whom he was having an affair. And that was after he reportedly employed his fiancée’s daughter in the same district office.
But their salaries were stopped in July 2023 when D’Esposito’s fiancée found out about his affair and temporarily ended the relationship, sources told the paper.
The House forbids members from sexual relationships with employees under their supervision. It also prohibits nepotism, which perhaps could apply to the fiancée’s daughter, a legal expert told the newspaper....
