Oh Yipeeee! Here We Go Again!
Republicans just cannot learn from their mistakes.
The national GOP is damned and determined to repeat the mistakes of Texas.
Their national convention is a month from now and they have plenty of time to plan a virtual convention. Are they gonna do that? Nope. Are they being warned? Yep.
And that’s not all.
They simply can’t make plans.
Trump has since backed off his demand for a full-blown convention, but the proposal has continued to meet logistical hurdles as the RNC has failed to commit on specifics, such as whether Trump would have his nomination at an indoor arena or an outdoor arena.
You have to make up your mind. As Texas Republicans proved, you cannot wait until the convention has already been on for two days before you make any plans.
One local sheriff is sending about 20 of his officers to help but described the convention as,“It will be a noxious brew of vitriol and emotion.”
Yeah, probably.
Whither the Weather Einsteins?
~ scheduled for Aug. 24-27? In hurricane wonderland?? These cupcakes could well end up in a FEMA disaster event, huddling in place with nary a mask in sight. Sheriff’s dept? They’ll be busy, busy, busy. Roll those bones!
1“It will be a noxious brew of vitriol and emotion.”
It has the greatest likelihood of being an EPIC clusterflux demonstrating the inability of GOPs to be effective at safely regulating a large number of people.
So. Where’s the ACA replacement that GOPs have been working on since Boss Tweet entered office…
2Here is the Republican health care plan: Die faster!!!!
3Barr and Covidiot45 have their own armed guards….they can pull them out of Portland and fly them all to FL. I’m sure the folks in Oregon would appreciate it.
4Along with this news it was announced that Trump’s re-election campaign has reached $100M. All that money, but thanks to Trump’s mind changing everytime he tilts his head, zero planning. “We’ll just show up and everything will be fine” seems to be causing actual audible consternation even from Republican sheriffs in the area.
If ever we needed proof that “campaign contributions” are nothing but bribes paid to the candidate, this is it. If any contributers really thought about the actual reelection, they’d withold the money until certain criteria were met. Like, just what are you gonna do with the money?
5A few of those little “disturbances” forming out there in the Atlantic already, and it is not going to be any walk in the park come August.
6Cruise ship.
7Takes care of their problems and ours.
Well this was thoughtless of me. ( :-{p>
When the wind was right we gagged on the odors from the JAX pulp and paper mills down here in Central Florida. Residents up there still complain.
Excuse me, I have a pie in the oven.

5 Reasons for Jacksonville’s SMELLS!

8The Republicans are running their conventions like they run our government.
9Opinionated Hussy @4, we love your idea. Combine it with Diane’s @8 and the short of stature cosplay cops can shuttle between a few few of Bitsy DeVile’s yachts as bus boys. Lash the yachts to the cruise ship. If Karma is a perfect storm, the entire flotilla will run aground at Merde-duh-Blowhole.
10The Texas GOP isn’t done yet either. It would appear they are trying to make themselves as irrelevant as they are in California.
11Vitriol and emotion, certainly. But don’t forget the pointing fingers. There will be plenty of those, too. And it won’t be anyone’s responsibility — just a case of, “Welp, who could have predicted this?”
Oh, everybody who wasn’t in attendance, that’s who.
12Old Fart @ 2:
Anyone could have seen this coming back during Reagan’s tenure when R’s began espousing the view that government can do nothing right. And they’ve been happily engaged in proving it ever since.
I never have understood the premise, “I believe government is the problem so elect me to run it.”
13Katherine @3:
14Well, given the fact that these folks don’t believe in science or masks and are planning their shindig in Florida during hurricane season, they could well end up taking their own advice far too literally.
Could always ask for some of Mr Prince` mercenaries that are in Portland ?
15JJ, I’m sitting here reading the posts and snickering and i am learning something valuable. I’m learning that snickering is hard to do before you put you teeth in.
Rock on!!!
16This is mind-boggling. Back in the day I used to help run workshops for teachers: one week, two dozen teachers. We’d start our planning 6 months before, have an agenda published 2 months before including accommodations, food, breakout rooms, speaker list. How can a national convention be not planned a month before?
17Lazgrl @17 I think the takeaway is the any gathering of Republicans is all generals and no soldiers. Being competent and able to stomach GOP bs has got to be one of the rarest, and best-paid, skillsets in the world.
18Even without a pandemic, you can’t throw a convention together in a few weeks. It takes as much planning as D-Day. Have all the party professionals decamped to The Lincoln Project?
Anyway, it should be entertaining. Like the Fyre Festival in the Bahamas. Google it.
19@Buttermilk Sky #19 – You win the Internets today! Fyre Festival!!!! 😀
20Let them have them all. Let them hug and kiss. Hopefully when they return home, the people with brains will avoid them like the plague they are -and the orange criminal will have killed off a good portion of his cult. I know – sounds really cruel, but so do the stormtroopers ordered out by the orange criminal.
21August. In Florida. Outdoors. Without a/c.
Boy, there’s some real smart boys in that group.
Not.
