Here Comes CPAC

Trump will appear as the Republican president at the conservative confab that mixes policy, paranoia and partying in equal measures.

By day, it draws college students and ardent activists to speeches from elected officials and panels on topics such as If Heaven Has a Gate, a Wall and Extreme Vetting, Why Can’t America?

By night, the college kids, many of whom at past conferences have been passionate libertarian supporters of Ron and Rand Paul, start drinking and can go to parties where top Republican operative Grover Norquist tends bar, or a disgraced congressman can be spotted lounging in a hot tub.

[...]

Despite the controversy surrounding the revoked invitation of former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannipoulos to speak, the site’s former editor and current senior White House aide, Steve Bannon, has a prime speaking slot.

[...]

Seven Breitbart employees will appear either as panelists or as interviewers. And, of course, the biggest speaker is Trump.

Literally, I'm sure.

Here's the schedule of speakers and hilarious topics such as:

If heaven has a gate, a wall, and extreme vetting, why can’t America?
When Did WWIII Begin? Part A: Threats at Home (Part B is "threats abroad")
Repealing Obama’s banking monstrosity and making money work again: making money great again


...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
