'QAnon Shaman Whines: Trump Groomed Me and Millions of Others
[...] [his] lawyer [...] wrote in a court motion that he was essentially "groomed" by Trump in the lead-up to the Capitol attack. The motion[...] also argues that [his] "faith precludes him" from receiving a coronavirus vaccine, so he should therefore be freed for his personal safety.'

Golden Statue of Donald Trump Unveiled at Hellish CPAC Meet
When Donald Trump breaks his post-presidency silence with a speech on Sunday, he'll do it in the presence of something he has almost certainly always dreamed of—an enormous golden statue of himself. Bloomberg News reporter William Turton shared footage of the golden Trump being wheeled into Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday. The statue appears to depict Trump wearing flip-flops and star-spangled boxer shorts and wielding a fairy godmother's magic wand. [...] when one staff member politely asked a CPAC attendee to put his mask on, "he turned toward her, coughed, and kept walking."'

'The statue—which has conjured some comparisons to the Bible's golden calf [the golden ass? ...] Video[...] shows the statue being rolled in by two people in suits as the room erupts in cheers. A woman can be heard saying "awesome" as the statue passes by her. Another patron of the conference can be heard chanting "four more years" but trails off after no one joins in.
The idol is apparently being used for a photo booth set up by Look Ahead America, a nonprofit created by former Trump staffers. According to Open Secrets, Look Ahead was one of CPAC's biggest sponsors this year.
Twitter is now having a field day mocking the statue.'

'CPAC Attendees Boo, Shout "Freedom" When Asked to Wear Masks
During a break in speeches, American Conservative Union executive director [...] took to the stage to remind the crowd that the Hyatt Regency Orlando required masks. "We conservatives believe in the rule of law, because we know that when the laws enforced, our rights are protected," [...] "And I know this might sound like a little bit of a downer, but we also believe in property rights, and this is a private hotel and we believe in the rule of law. So we need to comply with the laws of this county that we're in."
[...] then turned it over to Patrick, who awkwardly reiterated that when attendees are seated in the ballroom they should be wearing a mask, prompting many in the audience to boo her. As a chastened Patrick acknowledged that "it's not the most fun," several people could be heard chanting "Freedom!" as Schneider pleaded with them one more time.'
