Let’s hope he does another two-hour snore-fest speech. “Trump to speak at CPAC conference in Florida next week: he plans to directly attack President Biden’s new immigration plan and will talk about the future of the Republican Party, a source familiar with his speech said.” The usual lies and perhaps some idiocy about his wall may feature in the latest bit to rebrand a distraction from the oncoming prosecutions.
BREAKING: Former President Trump will speak at next week's Conservative Political Action Conference conference in Florida, his first public appearance since leaving office, a source with direct knowledge tells Axios. https://t.co/GB8FFLk2Eg

What we’re hearing: Trump plans to directly attack President Biden’s new immigration plan and will talk about the future of the Republican Party, a source familiar with his speech said.
- The former president will criticize what he’ll argue is the Biden administration’s “disastrous” amnesty and border policies, and vow to remain a key leader in the conservative movement to fight against Biden.
- His speech comes after Trump ripped into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, promising to battle the GOP leader’s 2022 midterm picks.
- The New York Post first reported on Trump’s plans.
Why it matters: Trump is emerging from weeks in exile, after laying low throughout his impeachment trial and the fallout from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
- He’ll speak alongside several of his former Cabinet members and fiercest GOP allies.
Marc Short — chief of staff to former VP Pence — says on CNN that Trump got bad advice from people who had told him “the Vice President would have some extraordinary powers” that could hand him a second term.

I don’t care. They covered for Trump then and they’re still doing it, making it sound like it’s Navarro and Rudy’s fault. I’m tired of these enablers infantilizing Trump as a way to absolve him of liability or accountability. https://t.co/1ceyNWoqba

Can someone ask Marc Short if he thinks Donald Trump is a 4 year old or suffering from advanced dementia because a functioning adult doesn’t need “good advice” to realize that the Vice President does not have the power to unilaterally overturn the election results. https://t.co/eCL0JdXdus

That depends on the evidence.
There's a crime called "conspiracy" and it's fairly easy to get people. Two or more people have to agree to do an illegal act and intend for the crime to be committed. See:https://t.co/Y9WQGz66E9

A loony plot to impeach Biden
“We totally get rid of Nancy Pelosi, and the first act of President Trump as speaker will be to impeach Joe Biden for his illegitimate activities of stealing the presidency,” Bannon said, leading to applause and hollers from the Boston Republicans.
