Digression, but... is Lady Gaga a complete fucking moron?   "Thanks for hiring a proxy to return the dogs you stole while shooting my dog walker,  and here's a half million dollars to the proxy who "found" my dogs... "   Does she realize the can of worms she opens with that utterly idiotic reward?   OK,  maybe possibly the woman who claims to have found the dogs is really just an honest citizen,  but how likely do you think that is when the dognappers knew there was a reward of that size?   Criminals network.   They find mules who are clean, no rapsheet,  to haul their water for them.

The correlation is clear, but in terms of causality there might be something to dispute in the order of events.

I guess she should hire you to protect her and her dogs, Dick Tracy.

Miss Miller, no, we will not let you go! Will not let you go! Will not let you go!


Or your dumbass husband. 

(And, yes, I know that is the misheard lyric from Bohemian Rhapsody!)

Illinois state Rep. Chris Miller (R), the husband of freshman U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.), acknowledged Thursday that his pickup truck was parked in a restricted area outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, but he said the "Three Percenter" militia sticker on the back window doesn't mean anything.

"Army friend gave me decal," Miller told The Daily Beast in an email late Thursday. "Thought it was a cool decal. Took it off because of negative pub." He said he "never was member" of the militia and "didn't know anything about 3% till fake news started this fake story and read about them."

Fuck these assholes.

Barton goes beyond the half-glass-empty pessimism.
He sees nothing in it at all.

Nope.   You and Uno both mistook my point.   She could offer $20,000, which is about double the black market value of two French bulldogs,  and get them back.   Offer half a million, and it opens up a potential crime wave of people stealing then "finding" celebrity pets.   If one celeb offers a reward that huge,  others will emulate.   It doesn't take "Dick Tracy" to connect those dots.   I'll leave it for now,  since it's pretty off-topic here.

LoL.

About as subtle a signal as a kick from a mule.   What are the odds the CPAC people will apologize for this?   These people love to flirt and flash their knickers at neo-Nazis and then insist it was nothing.

Fingers crossed that the people in the back rows will be able to see their hero during his speech tomrrow.

You can vote for a party that is trying to go back to WWII to surrender to Germany so they can go back to the Civil War and surrender to the Confederacy or you can vote for Democrats.

The republicans may never stop taking all their cues from history’s biggest and bloodiest losers.

I saw that stage design article and wondered whether the CPAC party planners hired Leni Riefenstahl to film the event.

They would have had to rise her from the dead but the again Nazi motherfuckers were always heavy into the occult.

It's unnecessary.  They're in no danger of losing the neo-nazi voter.  They don't have to court them. 
If this was a conscious decision its likely to turn off more voters than it turns on.

If this was intentional it's strategically stupid.

They're probably just trolling

Especially since Neo- Nazis, white supremacists, racists,etc account for less than 1 per cent of voters.

[bodiddley]

Which is a sad commentary in itself.

Let us know the % of voters attracted by racism and xenophobia ...

No doubt all that Build the Wall!, Mexicans are rapists, good folks on both sides, white lives matter chatter had some purpose.
