Behold, the scene at Donald Trump's CPAC speech this morning in the main ballroom. Empty seats were everywhere, although it's not entirely Trump's fault. He was given an 8:45 a.m. speaking slot, the very first of the day. Many CPAC attendees aren't even out of bed yet. Still, Trump was invited not because of his conservative bona fides (he's donated more money over the years to Democrats than to Republicans), but because he's supposedly a crowd-pleasing draw.
The speech itself was mildly received. There were a few moments of scattered clapping, some chuckling. The biggest applause came when Trump suggested, once again, that we "take" Iraq's oil and use the proceeds to pay a million dollars each to the families of the American soldiers who died in the war. Trump meandered from topic to topic, but the one unifying theme of the speech was the greatness of Trump. "I've made over $8 billion," he declared at one point, for some reason. Referring to a country club he just bought, Trump said, "I'm going to fix it. I'm going to make it incredible."
"He would have had five more minutes to talk if he had stopped putting 'I' and 'me' in there and came up with some solutions instead of promoting himself," a man in the audience told us afterwards.
Okay, wow! I wonder why, if Trump was supposed to be such a big draw, they gave him the breakfast shift?
After all don't forget that Trump and Palin were added to the schedule specifically to sell tickets and bring in the crowds.
Gee Palin speaks tomorrow, if this is the best Trump can do, I can hardly wait to see how many empty chairs she disappoints.
Oh goodness....look at ALL those empty SEATS! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is what this assbag gets...more public humiliation! I love it...let's hope Baldy's speech tomorrow gets the same response...but I doubt it...because everyone knows that watching the trained monkey with the cymbals and funny hat "screeching"...is ALWAYS entertaining!
Amirite RAM or amirite! LOL!!!
Fredericks of Hollywood and God, that’s Palin.
DeleteIt’s Trump I have a hard time understanding. He has indeed contributed to Democrats and his oldest kids seem to be Democrats. He’s written sensible books (but I don’t recall people of color ever being mentioned… the books were colorblind). When President Obama came on the scene, he sort of went crazy, that rocked his world too much (grin).
Oh, but baldy should be doing the comedy writers' work for them for the coming week. That makes it all worth while.
DeleteI don't think they're that humiliated. They still think empty chairs are filled and worth talking to (right Eastwood?)
DeleteIn other news, a guy at a forum on race suggested that slavery was good for black people and Chris Christy called a black guy "boy."

Chris Christie is just a big fat Republican blowhard. The only reason that any Progressive has been trying to find a common ground with him is because he put down his asshole ways to try to get some dollars for all the folks that lost their ass in hurricane Sandy. He's just another Republican with his hand out for a dollar.
DeleteI too am sick of Chris Christy being hailed as a moderate. He is if you're an idiot. If you bother to look at his record he's anything but.
DeleteYou rite. There's something entertaining about watching the spittle fly out of Baldy's mouth when she gets worked up into a lather. Plus lots of wagering about which size tits she will be wearing. Ya never know. But pro wrestling always sells out with the same tactics that Moose Lady uses.
ReplyDeleteIt is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Sarah @CPAC.
All the Botox and fillers seem to have just made her head bigger. Her head is HUGE, but unfortunately not filled with any brains.
DeleteSo... the "conservative" suggests we should take someone else's stuff and redistribute it? With 8 billion, you'd think Trump could afforf to buy himself some self-awareness.
ReplyDeleteWith 8 billion, he could personally help those grieving military families, but then, people like him and Sarah never give a dime to help anyone.
DeleteA lot of that $8 billion was made by declaring bankruptcy and leaving some small contractors high and dry. Trump is not as wealthy as he would have people believe.He is a blowhard, full of himself. A normal person would be devasted to face a room full of empty chairs, yet he goes on and on about himself. The Gospel of The Donald. $carah will sashay onstage like a stripper preparing for her "show"
DeleteOMG, this just took my breath away with it's BLATANT racism and misogyny. And he's 30 not 60!
ReplyDeleteCPAC Participant Defends Slavery At Minority Outreach Panel: It Gave ‘Food And Shelter’ To Blacks
The exchange occurred after an audience member from North Carolina, 30-year-old Scott Terry, asked whether Republicans could endorse races remaining separate but equal. After the presenter, K. Carl Smith of Frederick Douglass Republicans, answered by referencing a letter by Frederick Douglass forgiving his former master, the audience member said “For what? For feeding him and housing him?” Several people in the audience cheered and applauded Terry’s outburst.
After the exchange, Terry muttered under his breath, “why can’t we just have segregation?” noting the Constitution’s protections for freedom of association.
Watch it:
...ThinkProgress spoke with Terry, who sported a Rick Santorum sticker and attended CPAC with a friend who wore a Confederate Flag-emblazoned t-shirt, about his views after the panel. Terry maintained that white people have been “systematically disenfranchised” by federal legislation.
When asked by ThinkProgress if he’d accept a society where African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites, he said “I’d be fine with that.” He also claimed that African-Americans “should be allowed to vote in Africa,” and that “all the Tea Parties” were concerned with the same racial problems that he was.
At one point, a woman challenged him on the Republican Party’s roots, to which Terry responded, “I didn’t know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public.”

DeleteHOLY TOLEDO! That poor...poor....CRACKER!
He looked like he spent his moonshine money to attend CRAPAC! This motherfucker got some NERVE talking about being "disenfranchised" and being fine with "African-Americans being permanently subservient to whites"...dumbass hillbilly!
At least the crowd reacted truthfully...they LAUGHED at his crazy fucking ass!
I missed Rachel tonight. Did she cover this story? At first I thought the guy was a plant, but he was the real deal, was hanging with the president of a white nationalist student group at Towsend. Unfunkingbelievable.
Delete"CPAC Participant Defends Slavery At Minority Outreach Panel: It Gave ‘Food And Shelter’ To Blacks"
DeleteWow...just, Wow! SMH
@anon 6:35PM: Rachel was in Los Angeles, prompting her book and appearing on Bill Maher's show. Yes, Bill still makes jokes about Sarah Palin.
DeleteIs this the same guy?
Deletehttp://faithandheritage.com/?author=28nds
His post on race alone i ground for failing Logic.
Within first five paragraphs there were a many logical fallacies. Unless it's a Kristian Kracker U - he's out.
Weren't CPAC attendees advised not to wear T-shirts? Or does the Confederate flag printed on it makes it A-OK?
DeleteHmmmmm...
It's really awesome because this ignorant bastard is only valuable to the white corporation owners that hire his stupid ass to flip burgers for $7.75 per hour! That dude has no other future other than being an absolute wage slave. Karma.
DeleteDidn't the dress code stipulate "no jeans"? Randy Paul wore them, and not too well. Baggy jeans. Looks like he had his hairpiece trimmed for the occasion also, too.
DeleteYeah, he's like the idiots in the casino who roar that they won a hundred grand, but don't mention the six hundred grand they lost. the man's a buffoon!
ReplyDeleteHe's all for "America" except when it comes to his Toupee, polyester clothes line and all but one of his wives.
Wow, it must have been awful, looks like Melania didn't even show up! Can't blame the gal, she works hard for the ahem, "benefits".
Mrs. Trump probably is doing what Marla Maples did, entertaining a young stud behind Trump's back.
DeleteIt's OK. These chairs were invited by the chair that was chastised by Clint Eastwood at the 1012 Republican National Convention!
ReplyDeleteOh for heaven's sake! The organizers must know Donald Trump is a buffoon, what did they expect they'd get from him?
ReplyDeleteThey expected a 'big announcement' proving his claims about President Obama. You remember, he supposedly sent some fancy private eyes to Hawaii to dig out the truth. And they have never been seen again. So CPAC thought maybe, finally, Trump would give them something. HHAHAHHAHA. He gives me a headache.
DeleteNow if you were one of these CPAC idiots and kind of paranoid about the black president (but I repeat my self) AND you thought Trump was really going to prove the birther plot, then you'd be REALLY worried about a DRONE STRIKE ON CPAC!!!
DeleteYou could hang out at the hotel and watch in safety. And in your underwear and whatnot also too.
No, they don't know Donald Trump is a buffoon. They also don't know Paul Ryan is a moron, Sarah Palin is a complete idiot, etc., etc..
Deletelooks like a man wearing a dirty mop head in a kimono stuffed with overripe cantaloupe
ReplyDeleteHere's a comment from a person named Bob Reed about CPAC Teaparty fear mongerers, and the ultra right in general.
ReplyDeleteQuote:
I have no idea how Republicans do it.
The sheer number of things that require absolute pants crapping panic—the fast-moving, rock-strewn river of things that are about to cause the imminent destruction of America or of the Good Conservatives within it, is uncountable, and the effort it must take is enormous.
Republican dogma requires multiple exclamation points of alarm over the United Nations, all of government, Democrats, liberals, communists, atheists, Muslims, insufficiently Christian Christians, Christians of dubious sects, the media, Hollywood, Obamacare, brown people, immigrants, sex, homosexuals, uppity women, all of Europe (both as entity and as abstract concept), everywhere that is not Europe, climate scientists, biologists, environmentalists, economists, college professors, bilingual people, urban dwellers, campaign finance advocates, community organizers, several American cities and certain unpleasant history books.
No wonder nuts like Wayne LaPierre imagine that an American collapse and dystopia is just around the corner; all of modern civilization is apparently etherial, or ephemeral, or a cruel plot. We are always one health insurance law away from government-sponsored camps, or one overly-tanned immigrant away from genetic or cultural Armageddon.
My IQ dropped 40 points from just reading the lineup of panels, speakers and topics at this years TeaPAC.
I wonder how these losers are spinning the 10 days in a row of record breaking stock market deals.. Yea, the economy is in really bad shape, Obama is gonna ruin our country - and $creech's faves: Liberty! Freedom! Warriors! Gag me ...
DeleteI saw that on the internet earlier today! Where did you find it? LMAO. Guy forgot the BICYCLE PLOT and going back to gold instead of paper money.
DeleteThe ratings on Trump's TV show this season are down something like 60%. Seems like he's even more unpopular at CPAC.
ReplyDeleteI was curious about his 'Your Fired" ratings this year. Is the down 60% accurate and where did the info come from? I'd love to see him down that much - would probably mean he'd not be back next year.
DeleteI used to watch You're Fired but not anymore. If a talk show has Donald Chump on it, I refuse to watch that episode.
DeleteI am convinced that he does that TV show because he NEEDS the $$$. Gives him a chance to play the big, wealthy tycoon (or buffoon) What other supposedly rich businessmen make ridiculous TV shows like this?
DeleteGryphen, dude, seriously, you need to get out more. Those are NOT fake boobs!
ReplyDeleteThat's OBVIOUSLY a Chest Changer money belt. duh!
Just look it up on Amazon. $49.90. Free 2 day shipping with Prime membership. From the description: "Keep your money on your chest where it belongs. Kevlar(tm) lined, anti-bacterial and anti-stain treated 600-denier nylon web support system, hook and loop closure, Comfer-Zone adjustable Xidex clips to ensure hours of comfort."
Looks like she's wearing the "DeeDee 1500" model which has a hefty $150,000 capacity. Unless you're a professional grifter who carries large amounts of cash on your chest, I would recommend the "AyBee 250" with a more modest $2,500 capacity.
Next time, try to do some research before you post, ok?
(disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the Chest Changer company in any way, but honestly I wouldn't tell you even if I was)
Haha, funny stuff!
DeleteNow if only Granny Grifter could order herself a 'Brain Changer' wig!
Chairs? moved? Is that like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic? Why, yes: I think it is.
ReplyDeleteCaption for the photo: Is it live or is it Memorex?
ReplyDeleteI'll betcha Palin organizes folks to attend her speechifying! Like perhaps she'll pay them or promise them her xmas book?!!! Wouldn't surprise me one bit!
ReplyDeleteUnless she brings her entire grifting family with her I do not think she will draw a crowd. If she does, once her screeching starts, people will leave in search of Tylenol for headaches. I wonder if she has her family all set up to sell her family books? Maybe Bristol can find a babysitter and try selling all the leftover copies of her book. Chuckles and Chuckles Jr. probably have lots of their book to sell, since their book tour was cut short for lack of attendees. Toad might already be there, along with his "girls" doing business. With this crowd, maybe he had better bring "boys"??
DeleteWhat happened to her face?
ReplyDeleteWe're too mesmerized by her fake plastic nipples to notice!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, Bill Maher went full oboe. She no gonna like this.
ReplyDeleteMaher knocked the shit out of her last night on his show. Couldn't happen to a more deserving idiot!
DeletePlease tell me someone yelled "you're fired" from the audience...!
ReplyDeleteIs mrs. pimp storing a couple of raisins in that dress? Or is she just happy to see herself?
ReplyDeletePalin's boobs are way too big for her small frame! Plus, she has aged considerably since she was first brought on the national scene by old man McCain.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that they are using photos of her in news outlets from four or five years ago. She ain't what she use to be folks - plus, she is a liar and huge fraud. Proven time and time again!
