Day 2 of CPAC
Following up on Tom’s post below — it’s just astonishing how crazy these people are.
Patriot pack!
Spoke to a guy who made the switch from T-Mobile over to Patriot Mobile today. He has no idea what the coverage is like but said he wants a service provider that reflects his values.

Im told its a Cabernet
I was hoping Kash Patel would read his childrens book aloud to me but he refuses to speak to me. (Worth noting that Kash Patel currently among those former DoD officials whose texts around J6 were wiped).
Watching Marjorie Taylor Greene now. Her session is about her wanting her committee assignments back. They were stripped from her after she spoke at a white nationalist conference in February. She’s got a full audience here
“When I said I’m a Christian nationalist, I had nothing to be ashamed of. Because that’s what most Americans are”
Pizzagate guy Jack Posobiec leading a session on “The New Right”.
“Rise of the American Gulag” panel. Brandon Straka and Kash Patel going IN on Andy Biggs (also on panel) for not doing enough to help J6 prisoners. Crowd booing Biggs. Now Biggs in effort to recover his standing is calling to defund “bad agencies” like DOJ and FBI
Maybe not a big surprise but I’ve been catching some heat for wearing a mask here. I’ve explained, nicely, each time that I’m being extra cautious bc I’m getting married in a few weeks & don’t want to get sick.”Getting sick from what?” one woman just said. “You must be a leftist”

Brandon Straka was the man in a cage today. People listened to audio accounts from J6 prisoners on headphones. They wept. And threw money at him.
Then … Marjorie Taylor Greene showed up and got in the cage with him
People recited the Lords Prayer.
Some of the strangest political theater I’ve ever seen
