Did I hear that right?

The local radio station here in Omaha is reporting that CPAC had only a 1/3 of attendees compared to the past years? I’m sure that COVID had something to do with the lower attendance? I got to say , because that is what they deserve!

The Conservative Political Action Conference kicked off Friday in Orlando, Florida, featuring a number of supporters of former President Donald Trump. Trump himself will speak on Sunday.

But one person who won't be there is Al Cárdenas, the former chair of the American Conservative Union, the parent organization of the conference, and former chair of the Florida Republican Party.

Here & Now's Jane Clayson speaks with Cárdenas, who is also senior partner of Squire Patton Boggs.

DeSantis has Florida open as usual since the Pandemic is actually the seasonal flu/cold . . .plus, many of his cult has secretly had the vaccine (wink wink).

As previously mentioned, shithole is losing his members, some are looking for another asshole to bring in "end days".

No excuses, Rethugs. Pony up, pull yourselves up by your bootstraps, contribute all your savings and jump in the car for the ride to Florida to receive your free share of Trump certified virus particles.

You'll get a free paper sticker with your name on it at the door!.......
