He’s at CPAC next week. I’d expect a hero’s welcome from that crowd. 🤮 ---

RATINGS BONANZA!!!1!!! It may not be true of every journalist, but it’s almost certainly true of every network/cable executive: they miss Donald. Terribly. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > And even more upchuck-inducing: we can expect MAJOR coverage from all the news shows and channels. Maybe not so much. I’d never even heard of CPAC prior to Agent Orange blabbering there, and since he’s very likely to go off script to bloviate and lie his ass off about his election loss again, we might not hear so much about it this year either. It certainly looks to be set up to be a lovefest for him, though how many big donors are willing to commit remains unknown at this point, and that is going to make a difference going forward. ---

I get the feeling most of the endorsements in this thread hail from a bygone era, when Trump wasn’t quite the shitstain he turned out to be. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > Is it just me who sees the name “Trump” on a building and says: “Nope, not spending a dime in there.” ??? Nowadays? Absolutely. Back in the day, though, it wasn’t such a morally repugnant idea. He was just this slimy NY real estate guy who was on TV. It didn’t feel quite so un-American to spend a few bucks there once or twice a year for a nice view of the river at night. ---

If only, instead of screaming all over the right-wing airwaves, Lindell had found some sort of padded rectangular object to scream into, he could have avoided this lawsuit. And if he thinks that doubling down on his insane claims during the trial is going to help him, well… ![](https://media1.tenor.com/images/54451401d52c0dd2fe9ee5752857d53c/tenor.gif?itemid=3579864) …good luck with that. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > Is it just me who sees the name “Trump” on a building and says: “Nope, not spending a dime in there.” ??? Nope, and my aversion to the man and anything associated with him is not recent. When he started promoting himself back in the 80s, my sister was crazy about Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, which I never saw any point in. I lumped him in that mess of conspicuous consumption, and assumed it was all the same bullshit waste of time. ---
