"SNIP......
A private, off-the-record gathering of conservative leaders and wealthy donors will convene this week in Sea Island, Georgia, with appearances by a Biden White House official and several critics of former President Donald Trump, CBS News reports.
Trump was not invited to the exclusive event, which will be attended by some of the Republican Partys biggest donors.

And instead of celebrating Trump, like the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando last month, this year's AEI World Forum will feature Democrats alongside congressional Republican officials and possible contenders for the party's 2024 presidential nomination.
One of those Democrats is Brian Deese, Mr. Biden's top economic adviser. Deese is slated to appear in front of the World Forum audience on Friday, March 11, giving the White House a rare private platform in front of influential GOP donors and business leaders. Deese will be in conversation with AEI's James Pethokoukis for a breakfast discussion, "An Interview with the Director of the National Economic Council."
The two people familiar with the event noted that AEI has previously hosted Democrats at the World Forum, including economic officials from the Obama White House.
Jesse Lee, a senior communications adviser to the National Economic Council, said Sunday in a statement, "The Biden White House has successfully found common ground on things like the bipartisan infrastructure law and competitiveness legislation by reaching out to stakeholders across the spectrum. We will continue to talk to anybody who has an interest in collaborating toward our goal of building long term growth that benefits all Americans."
The American Enterprise Institute sure loves them some Biden

(19,192 posts)of information about the egomaniacal criminal from New York. They decided to ignore every bit if it because his messages of hate and racism resonated with the republican faithful.
For decades republicans dog whistled all of those messages to their base, but that wasn't enough for them. Trump came on the scene and used loudspeakers to scream the racist, hate filled mantra republicans so love. And what did they say about him? He was a "straight shooter", and "told it like it was". There was no guessing where Trump stood, he stood firmly on the side of the worst instincts human beings can muster.
Republicans loved it. They went "all in" on this straight shooting "tough guy". Hook, line, and sinker, they made him the party icon. And there he stayed.

(17,000 posts)were talking about burning it all down. Not so effing funny when the shit really does hit the fan. The mega wealthy owe their fortunes to world-wide economic stability. They brought this mess on themselves and Ive no doubt they expect Biden to fix it.
