With Steve Bannon cheering, CPAC opens with these chilling words: “Welcome to the end of democracy.” The Trump cult rallies round the fight for theocracy. https://t.co/EvWsviZvKA
“Welcome to the end of democracy. We're here to overthrow it completely. We didn't get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here…Because all glory is to God.” pic.twitter.com/55FWokeeVI
That this complete buffoon is even considered for the office of president is such a shitshow it blows my mind. That he is the leader of a cult following that seems as clownish and backward as he is. I watched Jimmy Kimmel the other day, even posted it, where they asked trump republicans something they claimed that Joe Biden said. The people being asked the question then went on rants about how that showed Biden clearly unfit for office and so on. When told it was really tRump that said it those same people complete changed their view finding somehow to praise tRump for it. It was great if they thought tRump said it, great stuff, but if Biden said it they wanted him put in a home. It shows they are a cult, and it also shows their ability to think and reason. Hugs.

“I sat with the pilots. the best-looking human beings I’ve ever seen. Not my thing. but they are handsome. Central casting. Better looking than Tom Cruise and taller.
“I see my staff and I said, ‘Let me ask you a question. Is the president of the United States allowed to give himself the Congressional Medal of Honor because I did a very brave thing?’
“I was so brave. Am I allowed to do it? And they said, ‘Sir, it would not be a good thing to do.’ Now here’s the problem with that story. The fake news media will lead tomorrow, ‘Donald Trump wanted to give himself the congressional.’” – Hair Furor, today at CPAC.
Wikipedia: The Medal of Honor is the United States Armed Forces’ highest military decoration and is awarded to recognize American soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardians, and coast guardsmen who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor. The medal is normally awarded by the President of the United States (the commander in chief of the armed forces) and is presented “in the name of the United States Congress.”

The insanity and narcissism is beyond belief!! WTF is he talking about?? Bravery in what way?? He is completely off the rails with everything. I want to spit on anyone who says they still support this guy. Or slap them into reality.
20 years ago, any one of those statements would have immediately made him a laughingstock and his political career would have been finished. I miss those days.
“Is the president of the United States allowed to give himself the Congressional Medal of Honor because I did a very brave thing?’”
How ANY veteran or active duty service member supports this fucking shitbag, I’ll never know. He’s never faced death and terror in battle, he’s never shit in the woods or slept in the dirt. He’s never been away from family and friends for months on end (unless he wanted to be). He has ZERO understanding of service or sacrifice or honor or commitment.
And let’s not forget that he dodged the draft, I think, 3 times due to ‘bone spurs’ in his foot during the Vietnam War. Sgt Bone Spurs deserves NOTHING from this country, PERIOD!
One of the most irritating things Trump says is, “never before in the history of our country…” blah blah blah. As if Trump has a clear grasp of what happened last week, let alone the 250-year history of our country.
Exactly. And Trump himself is responsible for all the best things that ever happened, and Biden, the Democrats and RINOs are responsible for all the worst.
The tRump party is not so slowly being taken over by Nazis. Why? Because hatred. The party has long been the home of racist, and few do racism as openly and fervently as Nazis. Is this the look the people of the US want associated with the US? Hugs. Scottie.
The presence of these extremists has been a persistent issue at CPAC, and in previous years conference organizers have ejected well-known Nazis and white supremacists such as Nick Fuentes.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Nazis appeared to find a friendly reception at the Conservative Political Action Conference this year.
Throughout the conference, racist extremists, some of whom had secured official CPAC badges, openly mingled with conference attendees and espoused antisemitic conspiracy theories.
The presence of these individuals has been a persistent issue at CPAC. In previous years, conference organizers have ejected well-known Nazis and white supremacists such as Nick Fuentes.
But this year, racist conspiracy theorists didn’t meet any perceptible resistance at the conference where Donald Trump has been the keynote speaker since 2017.
At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening, a group of Nazis who openly identified as national socialists mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed so-called “race science” and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
One member of the group, Greg Conte, who attended the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, said that his group showed up to talk to the media. He said that the group was prepared to be ejected if CPAC organizers were tipped off, but that never happened.
Another, Ryan Sanchez, who was previously part of the Nazi “Rise Above Movement,” took photos and videos of himself at the conference with an official badge and touted associations with Fuentes.
Other attendees in Sanchez’s company openly used the N-word.
For several years, CPAC and its supporters have attempted to temper the most extreme fringes of the conservative movement, and have welcomed the continued debate between Trump and more moderate conservatives.
This year, however, some attendees and former attendees have expressed frustration with the conference’s stronger association with Trump and his wing of the party.
In one of the most viral moments from this year’s conference, conservative personality Jack Posobiec called for the end of democracy and a more explicitly Christian-focused government. While Posobiec later said his statements were partly satire, many CPAC attendees embraced his and others’ invocations of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
CPAC organizers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last night at a young Republican mixer I met Greg Conte and several of his friends.

Conte attended the Unite the Right rally and was a key ally of Richard Spencer.
I’m recent years, CPAC has been intentional about removing neo-Nazis from the conference. But several of Conte’s group had obtained CPAC badges and were openly talking about race science.

Why should we be surprised? CPAC this year literally had keynote speakers calling for the violent overthrow of our government and the end of our democratic republic.
This is where our main stream media is failing us miserably. I can understand not covering “innuendo” and “dog whistles” in depth. But out and about Nazis at a Conservative Political Action Committee conference?! Which is the political arm of our Republican Party?! This should be front and center on our televisions and in our newspapers.
You’d think Fixed News would proudly blare it since it’s obviously what their viewing audience wants to hear. But they won’t because they know it would hurt their bottom line.
It is a cult, the party of tRump, the maga thugs. This guy is a white supremacist Christian nationalist who wants to turn public schools into church right wing indoctrination camps, force everyone to live by his church doctrines, and teach racist stereotypes are real facts to children. Slavery was good, blacks are violent, bringing them to the US to learn Jesus was a good thing for them, type shit. The problem is the governor who got elected is the same and proclaimed the state a Christian state dedicated to Jesus, meaning anyone of a different faith or atheist don’t matter and can just leave or go to hell. He sees nothing wrong with the idea of the governor pushing his god / church doctrine on everyone. So this is who hired the trash above, and tried to give him two high level state jobs to push Christianity. Hugs. Scottie
“Guess who’s last? President Trump. This is a great example of the radical woke college professors and what they’re trying to teach our kids. They want to tell our kids that every conservative president was terrible and every left wing president was amazing. In Oklahoma, we’re going to make sure that our kids understand that presidential greatness is based on how the country performed while presidents were in office. And not based on what a leftist, woke college professor says makes a great president.” – Oklahoma education superintendent and avowed Christian nationalist Ryan Walters.
Walters recently hired Chaya Raichik of Libs Of TikTok infamy to help oversee Oklahoma’s public school libraries. He is widely expected to run for governor when Gov. Kevin Stitt is term-limited out of office.
OK Schools Chief Ryan Walters is fuming that 154 presidential historians rated Trump dead last of all presidents. He says he will make sure the children of OK know how wrong those historians are about Trump. pic.twitter.com/7nJRjpMidf
“In Oklahoma, we’re going to make sure that our kids understand that presidential greatness is based on how the country performed while presidents were in office.”
Because how well the country’s doing was a sign of God’s favor of our president? Dipshit believes there are no business cycles, no outside factors, so transition time or costs.
“In Oklahoma, we’re going to make sure that our kids understand that presidential greatness is based on how the country performed while presidents were in office.”
That’s funny. In his MAGAt circles, I thought that presidential greatness is based on how many pussies you grab ’cause you’re a star and they let ya.
“What the hell do a bunch of elitist libtard historians know? I only read one book…the Bible, and it tells me all I need to know. We’ll have much better historians in the future, after we finish burning down all the libraries.” 🙄
How many people died because he was too lazy to lift a finger to tackle a pandemic? Not like he even needed to do any work to that end since there is a whole bureaucracy of government to follow any directives given to them. Just say “do this” and it’ll be done, but even that is too much for him.
How many people died because he had already said “It’ll be gone by spring” and stuck his stupid-ass flag in it like a land claim? Wouldn’t want to admit he was wrong about something, thus you all have to die horribly.
How many people died because the areas first affected by the pandemic voted more for Hillary in 2016? Urban areas like New York, may as well have been independent countries given the absolute lack of aid provided by the federal government. Likewise when Puerto Rico was struck by a hurricane and they were more or less left to fend for themselves. How many died there waiting for relief that was never even sent?
This is why Trump is the worst. An ugly bastard child of malice and incompetence. Where past presidents could be defined as one or the other, he alone is both.
Conservative historians also ranked Trump in the bottom five so go ahead and teach OK kids another lie. You’re already teaching them that the Tulsa massacre had nothing to do with race.
BTW, Ryan Walters has the blood of that non binary 16 year old kid on his hands. The one that was killed a few weeks ago at the high school in the Tulsa suburb of Owasso. Apparently just for being Trans.
All that inflammatory anti Trans garbage that spews out of his mouth egged on all the hated of anyone different.
After more than 50 years we’re back on the moon, KFC has unveiled their latest culinary monstrosity, in South America the Friday Lent menu has been updated to include new animals, it will soon be illegal for Florida kids to go on TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram, Marjorie Taylor Greene took to X to talk about women being good Christian role models, Donald Trump popped into a religious convention to convince the crowd he is one of them, and we conducted an experiment in South Carolina ahead of the primary tomorrow to ask people who identified themselves as supporters of Donald Trump for their take on some of Joe Biden’s more controversial actions and quotes. What we didn’t tell them at first, is that what we said was from Joe Biden, was actually from Donald Trump.
Read the full article. My first report on the bill is here. The bill’s author, state Sen. Mark Pody, has appeared here many times for his attacks on same-sex marriage. In 2016, he sought to “nullify” the Supreme Court’s Obergefell ruling. In 2017, he sponsored a bill calling for Tennessee to defy Obergefell entirely, and literally fled protesters at his press conference. In 2019, he filed the “Tennessee Natural Marriage Bill” that would void same-sex marriages, something he says God told him to do. In 2020, he filed a fourth attempt to make the bible the official book of Tennessee. In 2021, he filed a bill that would allow fathers to block abortions by their partners.
