    The Conservative Political Action Conference began Friday with a series of false claims about the 2020 election and other subjects.

    The CPAC schedule made clear in advance that the conference -- taking place in Orlando instead of its usual home just outside Washington, DC -- would feature election-related lying. Over three days, the CPAC agenda includes seven separate panels or speeches under the title of "protecting elections" -- plus appearances by other prominent figures, including former President Donald Trump himself, who have falsely insisted that the election was stolen.

    Wow. :smh:

    Is anybody even (remotely) surprised by the way that CPAC is recycling these Completely Absurd (and Totally Debunked):Election Conspiracies?

    Is everybody expecting Trump's Speech on Sunday to revolve around the "We Wuz Robbed" Delusion?

    He's be a fool to give that up. It's the goose that laid the golden egg for trump. As soon as he admits he lost the election he'll lose the tons of money his idiots are sending him daily to fight his battle.

    We did but y’all are still parading cheato around like he is the golden calf.

    I haven’t heard the calls for him to “step out of public life and graciously leave with his self respect and dignity” like y’all did with Obama. But he doesn’t have either of those so it is understandable I guess

    Trump is coming back in spite of the opposition trying to ban him. You can't deprive a person of his American citizen's rights like you can ban them from Facebook or Twitter. It doesn't work that way, sorry guys.

    The 7 million votes Dirty Donald lost by in 2020 will pale in comparison to how much he loses by if they choose to run him again in 2024.

    Lolwut? :roflol:

    WHO is trying to "Ban" Trump?

    Trump is Free to spew his MORONIC Delusions anytime that he wants.

    Trump is free to use CPAC, Parler, or Carrier Pigeon.

    ^Problem solved.


    No one is "Banning Trump".

    It has nothing to do with not being allowed to spew his Imbecilic Brain Diarrhea on serious social media platforms.

    Who's trying to ban Trump? Start with Facebook and Twitter and work your way up the chain to the NYT.

    Those are private companies. Blocking someone from using a service — especially someone with so many alternative means of communication — does not mean they have been banned from public speaking.

    CPAC is now the SNDPAC (Sociopathic Narcissist Donnie Political Action Pact). The speakers consist of conspiracy theorists trying to out-stupid the other conspiracy theorists.

    Maybe it had something to do with the incessant hit-job he endured for 4+ years? Anyway, grab your seatbelt, neither he nor we are going away. Count on that.

    Never apologize to those who have no morals. It confuses them.

    Private companies can be sued. God, the Catholic church and the NYT are all aware I'm sure.

    So you like regulation now?
    That’s fascinating. Who knew all it took for Republicans to want government intervention was for private companies to negatively impact their lives?!?!

    Everyone knew that actually.

    They have morals. The same morals as the coyote who would eat its young rather than starve to death itself.

    Except for the fact that he is going to jail and will forever be ineligible to run for office.

    His cult will die over time.

    I don’t know if he will go to jail unfortunately, the super rich have always had special rules. Will his brand be bankrupt and will he face numerous fines — most likely.

    As to his cult, they are not going away. One benefit of his presidency has shown many Democrats, Republicans and Moderates how easily far right policy can slide into quasi-fascism. We will have to see if American has the will to tackle it.

    The Indian government is run by an increasingly authoritarian religious nationalist who has been involved with extremist groups, locks up journalists, targets minorities, organises his supporters to attack protesters & was complicit an anti-Muslim pogrom that killed several thousand people.

    Easy to see why a Trump supporter might be a fan.

    Exactly.

    Hard to imagine that Trump can't get that through his Imbecilic Skull.

    That part that you cant accept is that Donald trump the man was not banned from social media, the lies he was spewing were. There is no inherent, constitutionally protected, right to lie in this country. Especially when that lie is designed to incite. If you think Donald Trump is just telling the lie for any other reasons then to rile up the base to call them to action then your fooling yourself.
