For a change, Trump’s flippant comments (from which he never backs down) revokes in an absolutely horrible response from his mindless mob, this time at CPAC, the largest gathering of conservative bullshit artists of the year.
I know some of y’all are wondering where you can get your very own Russian Trump flag.
This story won’t have that info, but I’m sure you can find it somewhere. Maybe the DNC still has some you can attach to your gun racks..
I know some of y’all are fixtures on the cult’s favorite social media sites. Maybe They’re selling them there. Words have consequences. Words from extreme assholes have extreme consequences. These CPAC clowns were doing this at the same time Trump was screaming no collusion.
That was 2017. And it continues today. Putin worship.
YOW!

Trump fans were waving tiny Russian flags until CPAC staff confiscated them
Meanwhile, Trump’s speech only raised new questions.
Here’s an odd sign of the times.
Snapchat’s Peter Hamby was at National Harbor to watch President Donald Trump’s speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, and he saw audience members waving tiny Russian flags emblazoned with the name “TRUMP.” Staffers seem to have swiftly realized this was a bad look for a president who is under suspicion of a variety of shady ties with Russia, and confiscated them.

At the same time, the speech itself really only deepened the questions around Trump and Russia. He denounced the Washington Post reporting that led to National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s firing, for example, as having been based on fake sources. But if the sources were fake, then why did he fire Flynn? Then he specifically denounced the whole idea of stories based on anonymous sources. But just hours ago, the Trump White House held an anonymous briefing with senior White House officials to deny reports that Chief of Staff Reince Priebus had made improper contact with the FBI regarding the investigation.
Flags or no flags, questions about what exactly is going on here won’t stop until the White House allows a thorough and independent investigation.
