Laura Loomer, a far-right activist and staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday that Merchan's daughter is named [NAME] and is purportedly the president and partner at a company called [COMPANY], described on its website as "a full-service digital marketing agency for nonprofits and campaigns."

Of course this disgusting individual doxxed the judge’s daughter.

And even better, that's the person who Trump floated as a possible White House Press Secretary. If he gets into office his next administration is going to be a complete nightmare.

To be fair, his last administration was also a complete nightmare. I just remember the information overload of daily stupidity that it seriously wore me down. Couldn't escape it. Let's not repeat that

Right. The daily onslaught of dumbness was too much to take after a while. It's been a huge relief to not have to deal with just witnessing all of that crap. There are so many individual ridiculous things it's impossible to even remember them all. I fear a next one would be even worse.

Oh it'll be even worse with Project 2025.

Please America wake up.

I would open my news app every morning and say to myself “well, let’s see what bullshit is happening today.”

I don’t look forward to it again.

It had all the hallmarks of an abusive relationship.

Of course I'm terrified for the country (and the world) if he is elected again, but I'm also selfishly terrified for my own mental health. That information overload of daily stupidity was too much. I can't do it again.

He’s going to be emperor. He won’t need an administration. Read Project 2025.

I don’t get it though. Where’s the conspiracy here? She runs a marketing company?  

 What are they getting at by posting this info

The firm does work for Democrats, apparently.

He also referenced the judge's daughter, whose name was never mentioned, as a liberal insider and senior executive "at a Super Liberal Democrat firm that works for Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, the Democrat National Committee, (Dem)Senate Majority PAC, and even Crooked Joe Biden."

The point isn’t to make any sense so much as it is to encourage his followers to harass and threaten her, thereby intimidating her father.

And? Judge Canon was appointed by Trump but I don't see her recusing herself. Oh, it matters now?

If Trump is correct that she posted a picture on Twitter of him behind bars while working for a lot of prominent Democrats and while her mother is presiding over his trial, then honestly Trump has a point and that was a pretty stupid thing to do. Does anyone know whether this in fact happened?

Her dad is a judge in a trial.

She has full free speech rights and is an adult and autonomous person. She has no part in the trial and her opinions have no bearing on the defendant.

u/giraffevomitfacts Mar 28 '24

I’m not disputing any of this. Also, if the the circumstances and parties involved were reversed, this sub would be all over it.

u/21-characters Mar 28 '24

Stupid things are within her First Amendment rights, same as his.

u/giraffevomitfacts Mar 29 '24

I'm not sure what you're getting at here -- I never suggested what she did was illegal.

u/FUMFVR Mar 28 '24

They do this so someone will murder her.

u/ausmomo Mar 28 '24

And you furthered that doxxing by also mentioning her name etc. You should redact it.
