There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.

Hello friends. It's just about time again to reel in horror as the right-wing drops their masks and lets their freak-flag fly over three wonderful days at the Gaylord hotel. You can see most of the main stage stuff on c-span.org.

I like to make a TVIV-style thread for this event so as to keep Trump thread your trusted source of news, tweets, cat gifs, and SHUT UP ZEGERMANS. If you're a masochist like me and want to watch this shitshow unfold live, this is a good place to discuss it.

The speakers list has the usual group of right-wing media nobodies who come out from under their rocks to meet-and-greet, but I'll largely ignore them to focus on the heavy hitters.

Donald Trump - real-estate swindler, failed casino magnate, TV reality show host, somehow President
Mike Pence - Vice President of the USA, horse enthusiast
Ajit Pai - the guy who is gonna make it more expensive for you to download porn
Sean Hannity - MMA and waterboarding enthusiast, heir apparent to Bill O'Reilly's FoxNews sex dungeon
Mick Mulvaney - budget director, selling your souls to payday lenders, maybe Chief of Staff soon or a couple other things too
Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) - alien slime golem, possible Zodiac Killer
John Bolton - Former US ambassador to the United Nations, Yosemite Sam cosplayer
Rick Harrison - I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years- you never know what is gonna come through that door.
Ryan Zinke - Sec of Interior, leader of the international lair of villainy that is Whitefish, MT
Rick Perry - Sec of Energy, once got a D in "Meats" class at Texas A&M
Sheriff David Clarke, Jr - cowboy hat enthusiast, mayor of Milwaukee
Dana Loesch - crazy NRA spokeslady
Nigel Farage - British racist, Brexiteer
Wayne LaPierre - president of the NRA, has sex with guns every night
Matt Bevin - Gov of KY, attempting to kill every poor person in his state
Michelle Malkin - remember when she used to be the craziest conservative pundit? lol
Gary Johnson - former Gov of NM, "sensible libertarian"
Mark Levin - Master Shake given human form
Ben Shapiro - another precocious 13 year-old they-- wait, he's not a kid?
Eric Bolling - disgraced former FoxNews host, and man, that's saying a lot
Charlie Kirk - the mastermind behind Turning Point USA's diaper boy protest at a college
Judge Jeanine Pirro - she really hates Hillary Clinton, so she's a relevant speaker at this moment in history
Niger Innis - a possible Eric Andre prank to get conservatives to say the N-word on camera
Sebastian Gorka - GOOOOOOOOORKAAAAAAAAAAAAA

As always, the real fun of CPAC is reading about the on-stage chats and breakout conferences that will happen. I'll go over some of the best ones here:

Kim Jon Un-iversity: How College Campuses are Turning into Reeducation Camps
An Overview of the Israeli-Palestine Conflict
New Sheriff in Town: How Trump is Taking Down Lawless Government Agencies
Save the Persecuted Christians
Trump's America First Energy Plan: Restoring our Prosperity and Destroying Eco-Left Memes
American Pai: The Courageous Chairman of the FCC
One Man's 'Crumbs'
A Matter of Life or Death: How Government is Deciding Whether you Live or Die
#UsToo: Left out by the Left
#TrumpedUp: Unmasking the Deep State

YOU HAVE COME TO A WORLD CALLED CPAC *whipcrack*

Over the past few years I've kinda paid a little attention to this event. I think they make the videos available for a day or two after the speech but then often just put up highlights after the first 48 or so. So my impressions is that if it's the same as it's been, you need to record or dl any video within 24 hrs. And they def don't put up all the presentations on youtube, just mostly the more popular/notorious.

Yeah, it's odd.

Gaylord's convention space is quite large. Maybe there weren't any trump hotels that could fit everything?

they've had CPAC at this site for at least the last few years, so I think it's just inertia.
