Donald is a real moron magnet, they can "identify" with Donald I guess. He speaks most clearly for them and can say the nasty and hateful things they can't, in a way they can act vicariously through Donald, he is their proxy.

He kinda reminds me of the "skin of evil" episode on startrek, except the evil is more than skin deep with the Trumpers.

Tasha Yar never should have taken that role in the dreadful sitcom "Key West". At least they threw her a couple of bones.

it's as simple as he can, will do and say anything which is what that group wants- basically everything someone left leaning doesn't want or would be horrified but they wouldn't be horrified, because they are horrific people.

the suffering of others is desired.

Turns Out That Pardon Wasn’t The Get Out Of Jail Card Bannon Was Banking On | Above the Law

Turns Out That Pardon Wasn’t The Get Out Of Jail Card Bannon Was Banking On
Just when he thought he was out, they pull him back in.

Pour one out for Old Three Shirts. Fresh off reports from CNN that New York state prosecutors are also investigating Stephen Bannon for his role in a scam to crowdfund a border wall, the feds have told U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres that they’re not ready to let the defendant go just yet irrespective of his presidential pardon.

In a letter to the court yesterday, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York argued that Bannon’s 11th hour reprieve may eliminate the punishment, but doesn’t magic away the indictment or the evidence against him. Particularly since he didn’t bother to secure a pardon for his alleged co-conspirators and may be called to testify in the case against them.

“The fact that Bannon was pardoned does not extinguish the fact that a grand jury found probable cause to believe that he committed the offenses set forth in the Indictment, nor does it undercut the evidence of his involvement therein which the Government expects to elicit as part of its presentation at trial,” the government writes. “Were the Court to dismiss the Indictment against Bannon, it could have a broader effect than the pardon itself, among other things potentially relieving Bannon of certain consequences not covered by the pardon.”

The U.S. Attorney is also demanding that Bannon’s lawyers docket the ex parte letter they sent to Judge Torres last week asking that their client be removed from the case.

“Bannon’s counsel submitted the letter to the Court by email—and therefore effectively under seal—because, in his view, ‘Bannon should no longer be a defendant in the case.'” they wrote. “However, until the defendant is administratively terminated, he remains a named defendant and more important, Bannon’s status in the case is not a basis to make his submission under seal.”

What are the odds that any of this would be happening if Bill Barr had succeeded in Saturday Night Massacring Jay Clayton into the top job at SDNY? (That’s a joke, the answer is ZERO.)

So, to summarize: Steve Bannon faces no jeopardy in federal court, but will still have to pay to defend himself there; Cy Vance is pawing through his financial records as we speak; and Bannon might well escape Otisville only to wind up in Rikers.

Well played, good sir!

Trump 'Thinks He's a God,' CPAC Packed With Cult Followers, Michael Cohen Says (newsweek.com)

Trump 'Thinks He's a God,' CPAC Packed With Cult Followers, Michael Cohen Says

Former personal attorney to Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, said the ex-president believes "he's a God" after CPAC organizers installed a golden statue of him at the conservative conference.

The longtime fixer for Trump said the "stupid-looking pagan idol of Donald" at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend in Orlando, Florida, will offer the former president a brief respite from an onslaught of investigations. Cohen told MSNBC's Ali Velshi Saturday morning that Trump "may be crazy but he's not stupid," saying his ex-confidant realizes the pressure of pending litigation directed against him and his real estate organization. Cohen said Trump needs adulation and screaming supporters in the way most humans need oxygen to breathe.

The artist behind the golden Trump statue, Tommy Zegan, told Politico Playbook it was actually "made in Mexico," which prompted immediate social media ridicule.

Cohen said that publicly Trump will "pretend he's invincible," but the former president is incredibly nervous about ongoing investigations from the Manhattan District Attorney and others.

"He really enjoys the cheers of the crowd. Now it's even more interesting because of the artist that produced that gold Donald," Cohen said Saturday, reacting to photographs showing hundreds of CPAC attendees posing alongside a golden Trump statue. "Now, he actually thinks he's a god, like a pagan god, people are lining up down the hallway in order to take a photo with a stupid-looking pagan idol of Donald.

"You will get a packed CPAC house of people that will come there simply to take a photo with the pagan Donald or to see him speak and to continue to spread these horrific sort of comments which he's been doing now for more than 5 years," Cohen said, describing the former president's behavior as "sociopathic."

Cohen first started working as an attorney for the Trump Organization in 2006, 10 years before his first presidential campaign. Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison in 2018 after pleading guilty to lying to Congress, financial crimes and campaign finance violations during his tenure as the president's fixer. He was released last July and is serving out the remainder of his sentence in home confinement through November 22, 2021.

The group Look Ahead America installed the art piece depicting Trump inside the CPAC exhibition space as the former president prepares to deliver his first big post-presidency speech there Sunday. Cohen said Trump is reveling in CPAC's decision to make him the face of the party's future despite his ties to the January 6 Capitol attacks and his continued denial he lost the November election to President Joe Biden.

"The [GOP] had a chance to move forward after 1/6, but Republican voters want Trump," said Tim Miller, a former GOP strategist who has left the party, in an interview published Friday in USA Today. "And rather than try to counter that, Republicans have chosen submission and erected a Trump golden idol."

Indeed what many have described as a GOP civil war since the Capitol riot barely registers in the event's speaker lineup, with prominent Republican critics of the former president largely absent, in some cases despite appearing often at the event in years past.

MSNBC host Velshi and Cohen shared a laugh after Velshi described CPAC as "a gathering of a bunch of people who say crazy things."

Cohen commended New York Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance and high-profile litigator Mark Pomerantz for their efforts to seek justice against Trump, who has evaded prosecution "his entire life."

"There's a whole slew of litigation pending against him, and he actually hates being involved in litigation when he's the defendant, he hates it, Cohen said. "He basically loses every single case that he's a defendant in because he lies and you can't get him to sit for a deposition because his lawyers won't allow it because it will be filled with untruths."

Newsweek reached out to representatives for Trump and Cohen Saturday morning for additional remarks.

Many people seem to think Donald has some sort of magic force field around him that will protect him from the law and prison, nope. To many the thought of an ex-president in prison is inconceivable and that things will be hard to prove etc. Lots of people have gone to prison for far less and with far less evidence and Donald will be no exception, once he goes down the first time the rest will be easier to deal with. Personally I can't see him lasting until the end of March before someone indicts him, either the state of NY or the SDNY over individual #1, or even Georgia for election crimes, it doesn't take that long to prepare such a case for indictment.

I figure once Donald is convicted the first time the political winds on the right will begin to shift a bit and as his legal problems and convictions mount they will shift more. Many are waiting for Donald to "go away" as in prison before making any moves in the republican party. There should be a parade of scandal and trials this spring and summer as Trump, his business, family, cronies and suckers are brought to justice and new scandals come to light. Donald can spew at CPAC for the conmen, fascists and suckers, but he's going to prison and the republicans are going to political Hell.

Meanwhile Joe and the democrats are moving forward on legislation and policy to level the playing field, solve problems and improve the country. Others will continue to organize, Trump and Trumpism have left hundreds of liberal democratic grass roots organizations in their wake, many women have become politically active. There appears to be an assault on the domestic disinformation system building, with regulatory and with civil lawsuits and much talk of media regulation. By providing good responsible government and calming social divisions Joe can win in the long run. He appears to have made a good start on covid and the situation should be much improved in a few months with vaccines and good public health policy.

CPAC should stand for, Criminal Political Action Committee, since there are plenty of future and past felons in attendance. They are more like a criminal gang than a political party, or more accurately a collection of conmen, racist fascists, suckers and idiots.

CPAC 2021 – live: Roger Stone dances to pro-Trump rap as Kristi Noem and Mike Pompeo woo party faithful

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) enters its third day in Orlando, Florida, with attendees gearing up for the culmination on Sunday when it is rumored Donald Trump will announce a 2024 presidential run.

Described as “Woodstock for election liars” by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, Joe Biden has said he will not be paying attention to the four-day gathering.

On Saturday morning, Republican senator Marco Rubio’s scheduled speech was cancelled just minutes before he was scheduled to take the stage. He later said it was due to an “unexpected family issue”.

Former secretary of state Mike Pompeo promised to “let it rip” in his speech now that he is no longer a diplomat, accusing Democrats of wanting to gut military spending and trade “army green for AOC green”.

It came after a Friday evening speech in which Donald Trump Jr took to the stage with much bombast, introduced by his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, and took potshots at a number of popular targets of the day, from the media to Democrats to traditional Republicans - and also promoted his father’s big election lie by falsely suggesting Mr Biden received fewer than 80 million votes.

Twitter Reacts to Roger Stone Dancing to 'Trump Won' Election Rap Song Outside CPAC (newsweek.com)

Twitter Reacts to Roger Stone Dancing to 'Trump Won' Election Rap Song Outside CPAC

Twitter reacted with confusion and amusement to a video of Roger Stone dancing outside of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, as an unidentified hip-hop artist rapped about former President Donald Trump winning the 2020 election.

The rapper and Stone were filmed by several people performing in front of a monster truck parked outside the venue that featured Trump's face photoshopped onto Sylvester Stallone's body from the Rambo movie, against an American flag backdrop.

"Trump 2021, yeah he had it in the bag. I just got a call from General Flynn, yeah he told me the facts. Democrats you gonna tell me how you feelin' about that," the rapper sung. "Who won. Trump won. Who Won. Trump Won! Watermark the baddest, 45 the chosen one."

"Fed did a sweep. Patriots be pulling up, knocking on the Capitol," the lyrics continued.

Twitter users quickly shared their reactions to Stone dancing.

International TV host Tatjana Pasalic tweeted: "There are no words."
