Trump Re-Election Year CPAC Is A Fever Swamp-Filled, Star-Studded Coup-A-Palooza! | Talking Points Memo

This whole CPAC thing is actually happening in the really, real world with these insane people.

Look, at this point forget the 2020 election - just let every Red State secede, call themselves Lovetrumpistan and call it a day.

They’re coup-coup, all right. All they need are the Cocoa Puffs.

And the theme of this year’s tribute to the President is clear: The libs staged a “coup” by investigating Our President!

What, they’re gonna show that Bob Mueller was an acolyte of Bill Kunstler? (Ed.)

CPAC has been a collection of grifters, right wing nuts and infotainment jockeys for years. Now it’s also a Trump lover shit show.

Nothing new here, just even crazier to appeal the Trump cult and Q Anon fetishists.

Sounds like the Carnival Barking Clown and his RethigniCON Party are whipping the CPAC audience to frenzy over and over again…

We’d be so lucky if they will only break out "Heil Trump! ", “Heil, mein Führer!” and NOT actually go out and harm those FBI Lovebirds or their erroneously perceived enemies!

Not that I want Corona virus to touch down in the US, but if it did, CPAC should be the place.

I hope all the speeches will be given in the original German.

It will be canceled out by the rampant syphilis.

I’m suggesting right here that TPM wall this off in some boxed section on the home page during the event because every single story will be “Person said crazy thing at CPAC” and it’s bound to make some folks cranky.

I was soooooooooo tempted :wink:

OT, but I just wanted to recommend A Very Stable Genius as a decent read. I have been avoiding putting out good money on Trump books (sadly, bought the Bob Woodward crapfest that revealed nothing except what a monstrous ego Woodward has), but this book - so far - has actually proven worth the read. Of course, a high tolerance for pain and a willingness to stare into the abyss are prerequisites for reading something like this, so if you don’t want to rend your clothes and scream incoherently into the night I would recommend Disney plus instead.

Malkin’s 15 second of infamy are up.

Too bad. So sad.

@globalguy But as @ralph_vonholst posted earlier, Trump says “Shut up” about the corona virus, lest it interfere with his reelection.

A real man of his one person.
