There's a Golden Statue of Trump Holding a Fairy Wand at CPAC
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
You can't make this up.
Republicans have outdone themselves this time by enshrining their former leader Donald Trump in a golden statue at the party's annual conference.
The decoration was wheeled in to 2021's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Thursday night for the gathering, which was already Trump-centric and began that morning. The statue—which has conjured some comparisons to the Bible's golden calf—is wearing a suit jacket, American flag swim trunks, and red flip-flops. It's also holding a magical wand.
Video, posted by Bloomberg's Will Turton, shows the statue being rolled in by two people in suits as the room erupts in cheers. A woman can be heard saying "awesome" as the statue passes by her. Another patron of the conference can be heard chanting "four more years" but trails off after no one joins in.
The idol is apparently being used for a photo booth set up by Look Ahead America, a nonprofit created by former Trump staffers. According to Open Secrets, Look Ahead was one of CPAC's biggest sponsors this year.
Twitter is now having a field day mocking the statue.

what a bunch of fucking idiots.
Don't be too hard on them, they're our source of entertainment.
Tho, I don't know how trmp is going to feel about being depicted in swim trunks and flip flops. He never wore anything but suits except when golfing
But we already have a statue of Trump, and it is anatomically correct...
look at all those veins...someone did an excellent job
And I thought the Trump Chia-Head was bad....
My wife's sister gave her one for Chistmas.....
She in turn gave her a Biden-Harris T-Shirt.
At least it can be spray painted orange to match the reality of the coming months.....

Craziest Dictator Ever:
Turkmenistan had been under the control of Russia for more than a quarter century when it was declared part of the Soviet Union in 1924. In 1991, after the fall of Communism and the USSR, the country found itself independent for the first time in a hundred years.
In 1993, Niyazov also known as Türkmenbaşy took it upon himself to create the country in a new image: his own.
Niyazov gradually accumulated the power to make almost all decisions in the country; his decrees had the force of law. He was intolerant of opposition in any form.
Ministers who disagreed with his decisions were often fired, and in January 2003 he decreed that anyone questioning his policies was a traitor.
Charging abuse of power, in March 2002 he purged some four-fifths of the National Security Committee, and he used an alleged coup attempt in November 2002 as justification for crushing all real or imagined domestic opposition.

I assume the artists who created the sculpture got their money up front.
As far as the CPAC thing though. It is an event fronted by grifters and attended by the grifted. Sauerkraut and olives will be served. Pay at the door for entry. And pay again at the door for exit.
Pence won't be there so The Mar-a-Lago man will speak. And here is where 'The ultimate grifter' will prove his worth by the amount of wallet emptying the grifted will provide.
Didn’t conservatives used to object to this sort of flag display?
That man wouldn’t know what to do with a pair of flip-flops. Or perhaps they’re meant to be symbolic of something politically? To be fair, though, he’s not really famous for flip-flopping.
If ludicrous=awesome, then I agree.
Ya think it could be chocolate underneath?
Bless their collective heart.
