Trump speaks at the CPAC event (Feb 28)

Ha...I hear the strains of Laura Branigan's Gloria playing now.

I wonder if at the end of his speech, we will once again be treated to the sight of him dancing to YMCA.

PLEASE. DIE. ON. STAGE!

why watch this?

I’m not watching this garbage. I wish Biden would have the DOJ announce an indictment right in the middle of his speech.

I won’t watch it, but I will depend on DL to give me the highlights

Are they all worshipping his golden idol? Will they all stand in line and fellate his button mushroom?

Will he jack off the ghosts again?

Has he started yet? How does he look? (As bad as that recent picture on other thread?)

He just said he "may decide to beat them for a third time". So, he's threatening to run again.

He's complaining that Biden is letting in too many migrants without masks and social distancing.

QQQ bullshit...

USA! USA! USA!

Again, he referenced the time he "came down that escalator".

Why is he obsessed with that escalator?

The xenophobia is also competing with the Qackery

Now he's criticizing chain migration, even though Melania's parents immigrated a few years ago.

I had it on out of curiosity, but had to shut it off. Just the usual alternate-reality garbage. And not a mask in sight among the attendees.

He’s a has been.

ZzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

OMG I'd rather eat sand.

(and he's starting to slur his words)

Nicole Wallace referred to this current CPAC event as the newest GOP freak show.

I'd sooner eat my own shit than watch that blob of puke speak.

I love her, R19.

Kinzinger and Cheney are shit out of luck...because the Trump lunacy is exactly what the Republican base wants.

NO FANK YOU

R21 = Leslie Jones

R19, Sarah Palin enabler.

Trump is so worried about the "integrity of women's sports". Because of trans. You know that he has probably always been dismissive of women's sports and female athletes (unless he wanted to fuck them).

[quote] And not a mask in sight among the attendees.

Good!

It goes to show what a psychopath he is. He’s had it so he probably still has antibodies. He doesn’t care if anyone else in the crowd gets it. Let’s hope this is a superspreader event.

I'm watching from an entertainment standpoint - he said he is NOT interested in establishing a third party and MAY decide to beat them for a third time - putting it out there so he can still remain relevant....

Everything else was a bunch of lies and how the Biden Administration is completely incompetent, doesn't know what the hell is happening and is going down the wrong path.

Thanks, Mary

VERY COOL R29, very cool!!!

I’d watch a video of him slurring. Maybe Aaron Rupar has it.

My mom said he's sweating like a pig. I told her the gay dude who runs the hotel probably cut off the A/C. I would. Let the fuck stain stroke out.

"He’s had it so he probably still has antibodies."

I believe that whole event last October was fake, a stunt hatched in Trump's mind with multiple plusses for him:

1. Minimize the potential effects of Covid to his base and thus minimize his mishandling of the situation (the virus will be gone by summer).

2. Discredit Faucci and other scientists and their doomsday scenarios.

3. Maximize his superhero status with super human stamina among his idiot followers. Like Christ, he walked again amongst us after the third day.

I will never stay at a Hyatt ever again. Shame on them for hosting this Nazi rally.

Wrong, R33. So many holes in all that.

R34.

The guy who appointed a third of the Supreme Court is now ranting about how the Supreme Court cheated the country out of a fair election.

(let the cult chant "WE WON"! "WE WON"!)

I was related to and knew so many good people who died sudden deaths from car accidents, strokes or cancer and yet this piece of shit lives on.

Life and Death ain't fair.

[quote]I will never stay at a Hyatt ever again. Shame on them for hosting this Nazi rally.

People are discussing boycotting them...

Doesn’t the Hyatt have a mask policy?

Listing the individuals who voted for impeachment one by one.

His grievance is going to get somebody killed

[quote] Doesn’t the Hyatt have a mask policy?

Nazis don’t give a shit about personal property rights

Focusing on Gym Jordan's wrestling career now!

Bet ole Gym is sweating!

He's so fat his blood type is gravy!

I don’t think anyone cares what this complete failure and loser of a former president has to say about the current administration. I don’t think Biden should be drawn into this and I’m sure he won’t. By Friday even his most ardent supporters are going to have to admit that he’s lost the presidency for a THIRD time.

He looks fatter than ever.

[quote]Doesn’t the Hyatt have a mask policy?

Yes. It's being ignored.

What a slobenly piece of shit.

The US needs Trump now! After four years of evil democrats, people will be desperate for Trump to return and put some order back. He'll win hands down and his face will be rightfully added to Mount Rushmore.

Such lazy trolling

Not watching, my stomach has finally settled down after four years of him. I'm sure I'll see clips tomorrow on MSNBC.

Unfortunately for the United States and the entire world, R49's post is not a parody but the gospel truth.

I'd gladly slam Trump's face into Mt. Rushmore. And that was the most semi-enthusiastic crowd I've ever seen. Lol

Tom Nichols:

Well, that was a boring start but it ended with a full-on dumpster of hot crazy that every Republican is going to have bathe in for the next election cycle.

And they're playing YMCA. Which is still a mystifying choice for the manliest president ever.

Imaging the former CEO tell the world to attack you...and you're co-worker tweeting this

^^^your

Holding politicians accountable for their actions is not the same as cancelling public and private individuals for opinions that have nothing to do with their jobs. But I guess weaponizing cancel culture is the catchy thing to do right now.

Hyatt is owned by the Pritzker family, major democrats. I'm shocked they would allow one of their properties to host this right wing shit show.

You think the Pritzkers are sitting there going over every convention being hosted at all their hotels? There’s probably a thousand of them.

It's all about $$$$, R58.

I just saw a news grab of his speech where he was claiming he might run again and "beat them for a [bold]third[/bold] time...."

A THIRD time eh?... His lies just never stop and his cult lap it all up.

Why would Republicans think that their 2016 supporters who sat out 2020 or voted for Biden would come back to Trump?

R62 Two words: Kamala Harris.

They're saying that 4 years of Democrats will do it and then apparently they will want Dump back in the White House R62.

R63 is probably right - they will focus in on the possibility of Harris becoming President because they will say "Biden will die in office"...

[quote][R63] is probably right - they will focus in on the possibility of Harris becoming President because they will say "Biden will die in office"...

which is so ironic, as Dump wheezes & waddles, covered in flop sweat while Joe sprints around & works out on his Peleton

[quote] Imaging the former CEO tell the world to attack you

Oh, dear!

Do you speak English R55?

[quote]I love her

Nicole Wallace or Adam Kinzinger?

“ Hyatt is owned by the Pritzker family, major democrats. I'm shocked they would allow one of their properties to host this right wing shit show.”

Loew’s Hotels canceled that Hawley asshole when they were educated on his assholery. They too are big time supporters of Democrats.

CPAC audience want to see that ass that all Republicans kiss.

He's so low energy. Repeating all his lying talking points. RIP GOP

Boring rerun

[quote0 Former President Donald Trump returned to the public stage on Sunday with a familiar kind of Trump speech -- a speech filled with debunked lies.

yawn

I bet Ted Cruz was happy to get that gig holding the mirror for rump as he prissed himself up for his big show.

The Former Guy’s visit to CPAP was like watching an old video of someone you dated years ago and now wonder, “Why in the hell did I put up with that?”

The Covid treatment he got was the injection of someone else's antibodies. He was supposed to get follow-ups afterwards, wonder if he did? Or just discreetly took one of the vaccines.

Trump’s speech was just another regurgitation of his rambling speeches. Nothing new, and you can tell his cult followers were underwhelmed.

He doesn’t have the stamina to keep this crazy train rolling to 2024.

Didn't we finally get rid of that fucking grifter? Who the hell wants to hear him talk. Stay buried where you belong, in hell, hopefully.

[quote]The Covid treatment he got was the injection of someone else's antibodies

Aborted fetus tissue, actually.

As someone wrote on Twitter, Trump has only one speech that he gives over and over. He's not capable of anything else.

Aren't most of his speeches underwhelming? Now though he's got the stink of loser on him and he can't own the libs with the presidency anymore so look for his fatass to fade away. I'm guessing he tries to keep the money train going but in the end doesn't run because he's old and tired.

Given his overuse of Air Force One when he had it, did he take his little Trump jet to Orlando, or is he running low on gas money?

I’m stealing “CPAP”, R77. Thanks and I’m not sorry.

I never tire of this video.

Once the Deplorables get that $1,400 check it's going to be, "Oh... Donald. Yeah, man- good luck".

Seth Abramson on twitter: This entrance is so awkward They thought there'd be so much applause that they started a several-minute song (Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American") as soon as Trump came out, but the applause died out quickly and now they still have to play the whole song as Trump stands there stupidly Wow, seriously awkward and sad.

@duty2warn: The guy who lost the House, Senate, and Presidency opens up with "winning." First observation: He certainly seems to be gripping the sides of the podium more tightly than usual... I think he's looped. Adderall and something else (we think). I think that's a necessity for him to focus at all. Maybe mixed with something else so he's less jittery... He tried to bitch about foreign policy and since he only knows four or five things, he forces them into the conversation. It's quickly morphing toward full-fledged rambling... So far, he's clearly disordered, repetitive, battered, puffy, ruddy, twitchy, and off balance. The usual partial sentences. The usual superlatives. He's rewriting history now. Soon to come: rage, defiance, and whininess... He makes erratic movements. They look unnatural. No way this guy runs for office in 4 years. He'll be lucky to golf.

@PalmerReport: #MAGA my ass: only 55% of CPAC attendees list Trump as their first choice for 2024, with 45% of them having already moved on. [Top three of #CPAC2021 straw poll: Trump: 55% DeSantis: 21% Noem: 4% Without Trump as an option, DeSantis laps the field with 43%]

And no, it isn’t going to be Ron DeSantis. He’s hilariously in over his head, and may not even survive his own 2022 reelection bid. The 2024 Republican nominee will likely be someone who wasn’t even a part of the Trump era and therefore doesn’t have to take a side regarding him.

Ron DeSantis is the most corrupt and disastrous Governor in the nation, yet the media refuses to bust him for it. Why? They don’t want to risk knocking him out of politics too soon. If he runs for president in 2024, his corrupt ineptitude will be a ratings goldmine for them… I can’t believe that during his speech today, Trump said... oh who gives a damn, he lost.

The Trump Cult Members are the perfect followers because they either need ZERO proof or ignore the truth right in front of their eyes...TRUMP is just laying the groundwork for his "Witchhunt" excuse when he faces criminal indictments. He knew he was losing the 2020 Election so he (successfully) prepped his Cult Followers for months on non-existent voter fraud--the dozens of lost court cases meant nothing to the MAGAs.

[quote] Given his overuse of Air Force One when he had it, did he take his little Trump jet to Orlando, or is he running low on gas money?

That crate has been out of service for a long while with an bad engine that can't be repaired. And it appears Trump is unable to get a replacement. Probably can't afford it.

I imagine Trump did not spend 30 seconds in preparation for this speech. Trump probably has attention deficit disorder and has the attention span of a gnat so sitting down with his aides and talking about what type of message he was going to deliver would have never happened.

All I know is, I was happy the Presidential Seal wasn't on his podium.

I’m surprised it wasn’t. With a teeny tiny Post-It Note saying “ex,” not former.

I certainly did not watch the old fuck's speech. One hopeful comment from the story on it on Deadline.com this morning: "Am I the only person who was horrified over the craziness in Trump’s CPAC speech? The acting out of bizarre conversations, the twitching of his shoulders and arms, and the unhinged facial expressions are clear signs of frontotemporal dementia. Trump won’t be running for anything in 2024." I hope the commenter is a doctor or a nurse and knows what she's talking about.

Tom Joseph on Twitter is all about this, R96.

@TomJChicago

Trump is so arrogant that he thinks no matter what he says or how he says it, Republicans will always think he's the next coming and worship at his very feet. He's too stupid to know that even dumbasses will worship only so long until they get tired and figure out it a waste of their time.

Of course he is, R98.

This is the man that bragged he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any supporters.

Hyatt takes the heat about the cutely incorporated Nazi symbol shape of the CPAC stage:

Well, let that be a lesson to any venue that allows hate groups to use its facilities. The world is watching.

Keilar: CPAC like a Fox News TV family reunion

Trump and his followers remind me of the plot of [italic]Omen III - The Final Conflict [/italic].

I think we can call it: he bombed.

^The only good thing about the whole shit-show. And hopefully, a good indicator of his fading future (and impending senility).

[quote]Aborted fetus tissue, actually.

To be more specific, tissue grown in bulk in labs from some long-ago aborted fetus, and bear in mind that "aborted" is a medical term that can mean either a fetus deliberately removed from its mother's body or one involuntarily expelled in a miscarriage. Nobody's wading through the sewers with a microscope looking for fertilized eggs that were expelled by women who took the morning-after pill.

So his point still stands then. It was aborted fetus tissue, regardless of when or under what circumstances it became aborted.
