the people of Iran have suffered enough under this blasphemous theocracy, do they really have to go back to royalty ? as I recall, they did not fare well under the former shah, which of course led to the current thugs getting a return to power. the Iranian people deserve better than this.

Good to hear that some of the noxious gas is leaking out of the conservative balloon. The more infighting and competition among these groups the better.

Just what the world needs, more creepy/corrupt/criminal/craven pedophilic/perverted/psychopathic asshole conferences (CPAC).

It's 4:45 am, and I've been up all night.

I only transfer enough money to my Thai bank to live on. I had an unexpected expense last Friday I hadn't planned for, and transferred some money Friday, but since it was the weekend and ACH doesn't help on the weekend, I ran out of money. I take medicine for severe RLS, and unfortunately, I ran out of my medication Monday night. I know from history that there is no way I was going to sleep tonight! Hard to sleep when you flop like a fish all night. I also ran out of food around the house. I spent my last money of cat food Monday morning, so I haven't eaten or slept in 36 hours. My cats eat before I do, always. They don't understand poverty and financial mistakes. My transfer just came through, so I'm planning on Eggs Benedict in the AM, on my way to the pharmacy in about 4 hours. In the meantime, I'm cleaning the windows and mirrors in my condo, since movement stops the twitching.

I remember when I was in high school in San Francisco a family very connected to the Pahlavi family moved in the area and their two children went to my high school for awhile. I only observed…but I will say the young guy (I think he was a senior?) was gorgeous.

"Next year, Schlapp says CPAC is moving to Orlando..." No. Just, no.

Good riddance. I hope it continues to die a slow death. Everything about it is false, like Trump. So Trump co-opted CPAC for his own purposes?!! Who could've imagined that??!!! (cue chuckles). Trump does that to everyone and everything. He is doing to to our nation right now thanks to the millions of airheads who cast a vote for him. No wonder America isn't great anymore ......

If Greg Bovino let his hair grow out, he'd look like Moe Howard.

Geez, did anybody proofread this?

"There was also the bit on impeachment that was hastily dropped, a forehead-slapping fuckup I saw firsthand from the photo buffer and still can’t get my head around."

Right?! What the everliving-all-around FAQ — am I missing something or did Schlapp ... AND an outlet that reports on the government for a fucking living ... both inanely reclassify the concept of impeachment as automatically only ever relating to a single office in a single branch? Did TNR think they had to be faithful to the bit or something?

Change the name to CPAP because of all the snoring?

"...and that Russia and Hungary plotted to fake an assassination attempt on Orbán in an effort to swing the vote."

I don't know if that would work in Hungary but I can tell you that while I would condemn the violence, it sure as hell wouldn't make me support Stinky. "Oh no, somebody tried to kill him. I should vote for him, I guess." Dumb plot.

Sounds like a miserable time was had by most. So sad.

Every CPAC, Ted Cruz finds a new way to humiliate himself.
