Trump cultists

Once upon a time, the annual CPAC event was a cornucopia of the right – libertarians, teabaggers, hate groups, far-right groups, and yes, even some moderate Republicans would attend and be given prominent speaking slots.

The Associated Press reports: President Donald Trump’s defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz now says his headline-dominating argument against impeaching the president was ‘distorted.’ In a day-after tweet, the former Harvard Law professor complained Thursday about the portrayal of his testimony at Trump’s Senate Trial that a president, if he believes his re-election is in the “national interest,” is essentially immune from …

“Sean Hannity is not only my competitor, but he’s one of the dirtiest people I’ve ever engaged with in my entire life.

“More than a third of Americans born after 1980 affiliate with no religion. This is unprecedented in American history; until this generation, the vast majority of Americans have been religious. Maybe, just maybe, the death of religion — the greatest provider of meaning, while certainly not the only — is the single biggest factor in the increasing sadness and loneliness …

“Mitt Romney’s call for John Bolton’s testimony comes as no surprise. Romney has been, lets say, wobbly throughout. He’s long had connections with foreign policy RINOs and they with him. Bolton one of them. He served as Romney’s foreign policy adviser during Romney’s failed 2012 presidential run. “Not so complicated, is it? John Bolton himself has been reduced to a …

Trump cultist Kurt Schlichter writes for Townhall: I want to know why you Democrats are such cowards that you have not yet launched another civil war to free America of the totalitarian nightmare of President Donald J. Trump. I mean, if he’s truly Hitler 2: Electric Boogeyman, then isn’t it your sacred duty to remove this cancer on our body …

“Let us stand among the greatest statues that stand among the White House grounds, where truths were spoken long ago by our forefathers. Let us remember what this House stands for, this White House.
