What the hell was with the CPAC speech? Did he do a few lines of blow off Huckabee-Sander's back before he went out there? I think that flag now needs to join the #metoo movement. He defiled that banner. I hope it's the kind that can go in the wash.

Speaking of Donna Brazille, CSPAN Book TV author today said Fox news gave Trump a heads up on the Kelly's question.

The term "socialism", when used by the GOP, has nothing to do with any actual meaning of the word.

It is nothing more, or less, than a content-free pejorative used to take advantage of the fears which have been rooted deep in our cultural DNA for a century by pols using FUD as their primary vote-getting tool.

To reactionaries, it means anything that results in their tax dollars going to support lazy bums. Even if socialized medicine were cheaper for them, they'd oppose it on those "ideological" grounds.

IIRC, and I'm not going to bother looking it up, he's done that tweet mistake a few times previously. Given that we know other thumbs besides Donny drive his tweety phone, it could be that Donny did the original tweet then someone else did the correction later. I can just see them wrestling the phone off him again like a naughty child...

Come on, sir! Give it here! That's enough, you need to eat dinner.

NO, DON'T WANNA!

Sir! Just let go...let go...LET GO!!

WAH! DON'T WANNA!

We need to stop you looking foolish, now let go........good, that's better. Now...what did you tweet? Did you tweet this? Jesus...

WAH! YOU'RE ALL MEAN TO ME! GIVE IT BACK!

Look, we just have to fix this and then if you are good and eat some dinner then you can have it back for a bit before bedtime.

HUMPH! I'm gonna watch Hannity. Screw you guys.

Funny, though IMO it would be too dangerous to talk to him that way, in case he decides to have you beheaded.

I wonder if they distract him for a second (look spider!!, or telling him the spray tan lady has his tent ready for him), and then replace the phone with a toy phone temporarily.

True.

Maybe he heard the idea that scoundrels wrap themselves in the flag, and took it literally.

"Conservativism" has been really, really twisted, too. Conservative is nothing more than a feel good group identity label that has little to nothing to do with the school of thought that it invokes, at this point.
 
Trump thinks his supporters are stupid and will always fall for certain triggers like Flag-hugging or Liberal-bashing like a Pavlovian response.
Would be nice if people would prove him wrong.

And then he walked to podium and started the verbal masturbation.
 
I found this article by an ex- moderator of a right-wing site very interesting. He hit the nail on the head. We've seen this mentality play out right here.

In 2016, things got weird. Even for a job like that. I thought the whole Donald Trump thing was just going to peter out. Then it just kept on not petering out. Cable news anchors couldn’t hide their smirks when they talked about him. But of all the people who initially thought his candidacy was a joke, I’m the one without a real excuse to have missed it. Because I got to see it play out in comment threads.

Even in the early days of the campaign, cultural conservatives, fiscal conservatives, the weirdos who talked only about chemtrails — they all had one thing in common. They wanted a president who would stick it to the liberals. They didn’t care that supporting him would mean changing their positions on any number of issues.

All they knew was that he drove the liberals crazy. He was just like all of the anonymous internet commenters. He justified their existence, and they justified his. And they all rallied around him. The campaign was seemingly born out of, and supported by, comment sections. Our job became tougher. As a news blog, we were covering stories featuring a man running for president saying things that I would have deleted his account for had he been just another troll on the site. But he wasn’t just another troll.

Trump tweets

“The American Media has changed forever. News organizations that seemed like a big deal are now extinct. Those that remain have now degraded themselves beyond recognition, like the New Yorker - or they’ve been purchased by Jeff Bezos to conduct unregistered lobbying for.........

.... Amazon, like the Washington Post. It’s hard to remember that not so long ago America had prestige media outlets, but not anymore.” @TuckerCarlson The Fake News Media is the true Enemy of the People!

Representative Ilhan Omar is again under fire for her terrible comments concerning Israel. Jewish groups have just sent a petition to Speaker Pelosi asking her to remove Omar from Foreign Relations Committee. A dark day for Israel!

House Judiciary has launched a sweeping investigation into Trump's campaign, businesses, transition and administration, a probe that would lay the groundwork for Democrats if they choose to pursue impeachment proceedings against the President.

Among those who received document requests:
Eric Trump
Donald Trump Jr.
Jared Kushner
Michael Cohen
Brad Parscale
Hope Hicks
Don McGahn
Allen Weisselberg
Rhona Graff
David Pecker
