What Is CPAC Doing In Brazil? | Talking Points Memo

Why is CPAC in Brazil? They have family who immigrated there from Germany in the late 1930’s-early 1940’s?

Whole thing smells of a profoundly corrupt deal being hatched. Who would attend a conference in Brazil to hear Jason Miller speak? I get that what passes for his chin is like a car crash you can’t look away from, but come on! That guy is as much the CEO of a tech company as Don Jr. is a neurosurgeon.

There are plenty of ancestral Germans in Brazil. Trump and family are just sowing the seeds for a place to abscond to when the shit comes down.

Maybe they’ll rent from jenna and not-jenna bush. Hint, girls, three years’ rent up front, in cash.

Hyperbole much?

The one thing that’s happened is that the sacred Prez Approval Poll Numbers have finally returned to normal: that is to say, they go up and down with the ebb and flow of the headlines. During the highly anomalous four years of the previous occupant, the most remarkable thing about the approval numbers was their stability, their impervious disregard for actual events (excepting the very beginning and end).

It used to be perfectly normal for the poll numbers of Presidents great and small to go up and down as events unfolded.

Biden’s “destruction” is still better than PreviousFuckwit’s average.

Don’t panic. Breathe. The sky is not, repeat not, falling.

It’s everywhere, the national drink. It will knock you flat on your ass if you’re not careful.

The other national drink is cafezinho, which is ultra-strong black coffee served in small cups and loaded with sugar. I never had a meeting with government officials there without trays of cafezinho being passed around during the whole meeting, and everyone buzzing from the caffeine.

I meant to say pitcher of bloody marys, but yeah, you probably just get some hot spicy caipirinhas.

O/T but haven’t seen this elsewhere; apologies if I missed it.

Requiescat in pace.

A family that gave much to America.

In a great tradition of politically engaged families that gave their service, and often sacrifice, for the public good. In stark contrast to a certain other family whose name we might mention but won’t, and accursed be their name.

Or, to put a finer point on it, after a particularly shitty couple of weeks, only 2.5% lower than the Fulvus Fuckwits highest approval in all four years…47.8% to 45.3. (According to 538, 9/6).
Not great, but hardly time to go for the lifeboats.
For comparison, tRumps bottom out approval # was 36.9% at about the same point in his presidency.

That’s where all those “proud boys” went back in 1945 when they started running out of space in Argentina…
