If there were ever a perfect example of how far the conservative party has fallen in recent years, one only has to watch the parade of ignorance and B-list celebrities who appear at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). This year’s conference was a real treat, featuring Sebastian Gorka warning that liberals are going to “take your pickup trucks” and “your hamburgers” as well as Donald Trump, Jr. making #MeToo jokes.
Trump, speaking to adoring goons at CPAC, criticized clean energy, saying, “When the wind stops blowing, that’s the end of your electric.”
Sometimes I think, “No one can actually be that stupid.” But then Trump proves me wrong, over and over.

There was nothing more ignorant and embarrassing to the American people, however, than the speech of the current president of the United States. He wrapped his body around the American flag. He insisted that windmills can’t be a source of energy because the wind isn’t always blowing, and riled up the crowd with nicknames like “Shifty Adam Schiff” and “Crooked Hillary.”

One particular word salad stood out for the language he used in front of a crowd that claims to be conservative Christians when he called the Mueller investigation “bullsh*t” and blamed Democrats who won in the House for the investigations that have led to more than thirty indictments and multiple arrests.
‘We had people that lost, and unfortunately you put the wrong people in a couple of positions, and they leave people for a long time that should not be there. All of a sudden, they are trying to take you out with bullsh*t, ok? With bullsh*t.’
