CPAC attendee sent me this pic of a card they were handed about a “7-pt. plan to restore Donald J. Trump in days, not years,” which involves installing Trump as speaker and ousting Biden & Harris. pic.twitter.com/dS0tQ5jW7b

Yeah, the last of these superspreader conservapaloozas wasn’t even five months ago, but Texas was not gonna stand down against the flexing from that other massive Reliably Red [so far] Redoubt.
Problem is, CPAC used to be the annual trade exhibition where promising young GOP contenders could show off their talents, while novelty acts and tshirt&trinket dealers peddled their wares. These days, everyone can watch the exact same acts on Fox News — or CNN — any hour of the day or night. It’s gone stale. Sad!

The NYT story about republicans dying en masse from refusing vaccines will be framed as Biden “failing to make the sale” and will quote seven republican strategists giddy about how good it is for their chances in the midterms https://t.co/Ig3oNWFpZB

The only fighting at Valley Forge was against communicable disease. Some 2,000 soldiers out of 12,000 died from smallpox, typhus, dysentery, etc. Washington mandated inoculation and hired a gay mercenary to teach them how to build and use the bathroom properly. https://t.co/0w06D7hYSC

Lauren Boebert tells the folks at CPAC we don’t need government benefits.

Never mind the content, look at that photo and tell me MTG doesn’t intend to get into Gaetz’s pants. Sure, the media claims he’s only interested in high school girls, but that’s just because he’s never met a really experienced Crossfit trainer who likes ’em big & stupid…

I admit that I’ve been sort of following this insanity. Thank you for the post
Eta: AOC had a good response to the Colorado bobble head, if you can find the tweet.

If they had paid attention when Trump got impeached (just one of the times, even) they would know it takes 67 votes in the Senate to remove the President via impeachment
ian
Well at least they figured out that Trump can’t just be magically reinstated, but I would sure love to hear they reasoning why they think the CBC is going to suddenly flip over to Republican and then vote for Donald Trump for Speaker, and why they then will get 67 votes for two separate impeachments.
So Kudos, I guess, for trying.
ian
Also where is the legal rationale for “rendering all acts of said imposters, while in office, null and void and no effect?”
MagdaInBlack
@ian: There is no “reasoning” involved, in any of this. They live in an entirely different reality tunnel.

A good response would be to run the video of her saying that and then list the money she’s received from the government. She’s a clown. It reminds me of Palin’s “thanks, but no thanks” lie that was such an applause line.

The organizers of the MTG/Big Blockhead Doofapalooza rented the hall in Orange County without saying exactly what it would be used for, and the manager, Javad Mirtavoosi, cancelled the contract the minute he heard their names. The times, they are a changing. If they hadn’t scheduled it for a Sunday, they probably could’ve gotten a megachurch to take them in, but the stupid goes all the way down.

@Mary G: Matt Gaetz is now too toxic to associate with for many Republican politicians. When it was announced that he would speak at a rally in northern Ohio a few weeks ago, most of the candidates for next year’s Senate nomination cancelled. Only shameless weasel Josh Mandel appeared.
One purpose of the event was to promote trump flunky Max Miller’s primary challenge to the current Republican congressman, who was one of the ten Republicans to vote for impeachment in January. Gaetz devoted his speech to trashing incumbent Anthony Gonzales. But Gonzalez got his licks in first. That afternoon, he tweeted:

@ian: Heck, I’d like to know what they think is in step #1. What horrors do they believe need to be revealed? Forget about Nancy Pelosi melting, I’d like to know about the “pull back the curtain part”.
In other words, the first problem in the 7-step master plan is the first clause of the first sentence of the first step.
Uncle Cosmo
Reminds me of their pseudointellectual glibertarian ur-heroine Ayn Rand, who lived on every cent she could cadge from Social Security while trashing the “gummint.” The bedrock attitude seems to be If you libtards are stupid enough to offer me money for nothing, I’m smart enough to take all of it and shit all over you in return.

That 7 point plan to “restore” DJT as president is one of the most amazing piece of self-delusion I think I’ve ever seen in my life. What makes it scary is the last 4 steps are actually a process that could be executed (in theory; the people who would have to move this on the Hill neither have the skill nor the votes to make it happen). The first three steps are the result of living in a bubble of right-wing nutjobbery where the propaganda gifting machines run wild.
I’d laugh harder if so many people weren’t fervently committed to this belief that all of it is true and real…
