Self-proclaimed Christians worshipping a golden statue, maskless idiots who still believe COVID is a hoax, applause for insurrectionists and their enablers, a coke-addled Don Junior still publicly grovelling for daddys attention, Ted Cruz doing a stand-up comedy routine about his Cancun trip while his constituents struggled to survive, and outrage over Mr. Potato Head.
In short, its a gathering of easily-led dumb-asses willing to swallow whatever bullshit theyre told to consume by a bunch of Republican leaders who dont give a shit about them, but are simply there in order to size-up the obviously gullible marks.
Of course, the underlying theme of the event is The Big Lie that the election was somehow stolen from Trump because these idiots simply cant believe that the majority of Americans wanted a lying, thieving, corrupt, pussy-grabber out of the White House.
This is what the GOP is down to a bunch of low-IQ, no-info voters who think science is an elitist plot, and education is detrimental to civilization. This is the precious base whose votes the GOP are willing to abandon all morals and ethics in order to win.
The current heroes of todays Republican party are the people who broke into the Capitol and literally shit on the floors and wiped their feces on the walls. That is the reality of where the GOP is right now. And that is really all that needs to be said.

A miniature sized, white trash, trailer park, gawdy version of one of these would make a perfect Christmas tree ornament?
Maybe a big hole up its ass so his cretins could put it on the top of their tree???????
The next year they could come out with one of Ivanka, all dressed up as a Trailer Trash Barbie.
The next year Jared, etc
And offer an equally tacky, optional, grossly overpriced, small shrine panorama, so his voters could display them the rest of the year on their living room coffee table in their trashed out double wide?????
Oh, and have every House and Senate Republican be required to display one on their Capitol desk to show their loyalty and subservient allegiance to Trump as THE leader of their party?????????
And, how about a tiny lapel pin or broach pin version and have it be mandated to be worn on all Republican Politicians across the nation????? Replacing the American Flag pin they used to all wear
..
I think Im really on to something here

And I think the scariest thing Nanc, is that their supporters/voters are not all the low IQ deliverance types. Most Trump Humpers I know are members of the middle to upper class, with college degrees.....
That makes it all the more terrifying, at least to me.......

Needs about another 40 inches on the waistline.

Or sandals.
Hes never been known for eating at Carls Jr.
And that Constitution doesnt have nearly enough shit on it.

For so called religious people, they sure forget the 10 Commandments when Trump is around.

Makes you wonder what they see in Trump.

(295 posts)I suppose it's too much to ask the FBI to arrest these cpuke participants (including the mic'd-up morons), for planning their next insurrection. They're more than obliging when it comes to arresting black men while walking, surely they can ignore the blinding whiteness of these perps. Just for once?
wnylib
(25,192 posts)thing that happens is that they get arrested. More likely that they'll be shot. And that's while breaking no laws.

(491 posts)... is this CPAC especially odious ...
... or have we relaxed over the last 20 some days with the return to grown ups in the WH that it seems so more awful? ...
... would we be quite as shocked if this stuff was happening, say Nov 1st, as we'd become so used to WTF moments? ...
... I keep shaking my head in disbelief, looking for the tag line of 'the onion' somewhere..............

(1,289 posts)These losers who have chosen Trump as their hero and leader are pathetic.
They have no honor -- don't even know what that quality means.
To think they brag about pissing on Nancy Pelosi's rug is beyond juvenile and stupid, but this is the Republican party now.

(5,907 posts)The US is in a WHOLE lot of potential trouble. True they are a minority of voters overall, but they are a serious menace to the continuation of the US as a republic based on democratic elections. A weakness of democracy is that large numbers of voters can be convinced to believe lies or at least be manipulated, sometimes by very ugly propaganda to vote for people who mean the country great harm.
In a way, trump did the nation a favor by exposing how easily a would-be authoritarian could use propaganda to do almost anything while in office and ultimately do away with democracy in the US.

(57,497 posts)Since current thinking among them seems to be that crazy is good, and stark raving loony is better, the speakers outdid themselves in trying to put on an "I'm-even-crazier-than-he-is" show, hoping the next Sheldon Adelson (or even his widow) will shower them with dark PAC money in reward for their performance. This wasn't a political rally. It was an audition for financing for the 2024 presidential campaign.
If their rank-and-file voter base ever should come to the conclusion that this kind of lunacy is getting them nowhere, we will all marvel at how the Javits-Dirksen-Ford version of the Republican politician will be cloned from past dead DNA, like a Republican version of Jurassic Park. For THAT to happen, though, Fox Noise and National Hate Radio would have to come to the same conclusion. That could take a while. The "National" in National Hate Radio is probably best pronounced in German and abbreviated by using only the first two syllables.
If you don't know German, "National" in German is spelled the same as in French (the original) and English, but pronounced "NAH-tsee-oh-NAHL." If you take only the first two syllables, you see where a familiar name from the past comes from.
And by the way, they aren't REALLY upset about their stage being compared to the exact shape of a runic figure used by Hitler's SS on their uniform lapels. After all, THEY designed it. They are merely upset that WE noticed, and said so.
