    They are ramping up production. They have four million now, expect another 20 million by the end of March, and 100 million by the summer. As I recall this is comparable to the other vaccines when they were first approved.

    The artist behind the golden statue of former president trump at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this weekend said that it was made in Mexico.

    Artist Tommy Zegan, who lives in Mexico as an American expat on a permanent resident visa, told Politico Playbook on Saturday that he spent more than six months creating the 200-pound statue.

    Zegan, with the help of three men in his home city of Rosarito, constructed the statue out of fiberglass and painted it in chrome before transporting it to CPAC this weekend in Orlando, Fla.

    Zegan told Playbook that the statue, which shows Trump wearing a suit jacket and red tie as well as American flag shorts and flip-flops, is on sale for $100,000.

    So wrong but so right.
    So they wanted it to look like that? With the magic wand, the sandals, the.... Wow - I sincerely hope it goes in the Trump Library.

    Knowing Trump, he will see it and want to buy it for himself.

    No, he is too cheap... it will be a donation from his corporation, so he can right it off.

    I agree. He did massive damage to the US, both locally and abroad.

    Unfortunately, 55% of CPAC attendees want him on the 2024 ticket.

    Sorry. I don't make the rules.

    I don't care what happens at CPAC, and neither should anyone else. Let this cancer go. Forget him. If the conservatives want to keep reporting about him, then let them. There's no reason for anyone else to.

    because of the EC, he got in office once, and nearly did so again
    until he's unable to run for office again, Im going to keep an eye on him

    We don't have the luxury of forgetting him. And we shouldn't adopt such a blasse attitude that we forget what he's done. The idiotic Senator from Florida is already saying the GOP Civil War has been canceled, and if that's true, then Trump will retain control of the GOP, including the fundraising arm, and will be key in setting who runs in 2022 and 2024.

    Forgetting him is something we cannot afford to do, much as I'd like to have that shit-stain out of the picture permanently (convicted and jailed, to be clear).

    I would actually love to attend CPAC this year, just to be witness to the pure insanity that runs through Trumpkin-land.

    hey, they got a 20 second chant of "We love you" for him

    Only if you believe the moronic dumbasses of CPAC.

    Quite a bit more to the equation than the EC... for instance all the free and undeserved publicity the media gave to that idiot.

    74 million people disagree with you. And Trump still leads the largely irrelevant polls for 2024 candidates. I hear what you're saying, but I think there is still a LOT to be worried about. The lack any organized opposition to Trump is very disconcerting.

    Are you talking about the republicans? Because they were never going to do it. I know it, you know it. So stop worrying about something that is 110% unpreventable. You'll sleep a little better.

    CPAC is not a court of law. CPAC giving Trump a standing ovation does not block him from criminal or civil charges. You know this, and you posted anyhow.

    Eh, let him run again. He couldn't win as an incumbent at the peak of his popularity. The only way he has a chance in 2024 is if: Biden dies and Harris does a piss poor job + Trump manages to stay out of jail + Trump hasn't had a heart attack due to a hamberder overdose. The odds of all of that occurring are about as likely as ME winning the presidency.

    There's a huge problem with this line of thinking, and that's that everyone said "let him run, he can't win" in 2016 and then he did.
