Donald Trump wants thousands of Republican delegates crammed into the convention hall in North Carolina ... or else.

I approve.

I say cram as many fucking Republicans in there as humanly possible, then watch with glee as they all die by election day.

Do it..! Great idea....

My sentiments exactly R2.

Yep, you'll really "stick it to the libs" if you cram all your sorry republican asses into a convention hall. Do it!

Oh no! The Orange Afterbirth is gonna move the Communist Party Congress to a red state if Governor Cooper doesn't allow them to all infect one another. The poor hookers, rent boys, and trans sex workers of North Carolina WILL suffer without all those fat white crackers to pay for their services that week. But I guess the hookers and trade in any of those red states will happily take the uptick in business wherever the Communist GOP moves it's Klan rally.

Fucking idiots.

R6, your enthusiasm is infectious!

I'm surprised the Tangerine Toddler referred to the Governor as "Democratic Governor" as opposed to his usual word play of "Democrat".

Watch, he'll move it to Mar-A-Lago.

i'm gonna be there. this will end so goodly 😉

Governor Cooper, please, please, please accommodate Trump and the Republicans demands. The best possible outcome of a Republican convention in the face of an epidemic is to load as many Republicans and Trump supporters in one place as possible, turn off the air conditioning, and let them stew in their juices. They're too stupid to realize their mistake, too slow to respond to save lives, and too conceited to admit their error. The end result will be hundreds, if not thousands of additional cases, and dozens, if not hundreds, of dead. This will shift North Carolina into the blue column for decades.

The only good Republican and.or Trump supporter is a dead Republican/Trump supporter.

R9: The only way the RNC will allow that is if there are easily accessible hookers (female, male, and trans) withing 10 minutes of his dump. Anyone know if this is the case in Palm Beach County?

Please invite all Republican elected officials. And that Bexar County GOP lady.

Oh, R12, honey... they won't have to look beyond the grounds of Mar-A-Slago for hookers of all stripes.

Bear in mind that Charlotte was the only city that even WANTED it. There are no alternate locations ready to go.

[quote] I'm surprised the Tangerine Toddler referred to the Governor as "Democratic Governor" as opposed to his usual word play of "Democrat".

He didn't. He called him "Democrat Governor."

They should definitely do this.

Actually, they should also open it to spectators, family, and friends of delegates. Make it into a huge party.

Forbid masks or any facial covering, as well.

Let him have the convention center, but keep the hotels closed. They can bring sleeping bags.

Oh I hope so and when they get sick it’ll be like Nazis being sent to concentration camps (and guarantee loss of the election).

I want all those delegates crammed in my office to take turns tongue-fucking my boypussy.

Does he even have the authority to make that decision unilaterally? it's supposed to be the decision of the RNC.

they do what he says, r21.

Breathe deep the gathering dooom.

Ventilator lights fade from every room.

Bedsitter people look back and lament, maybe I shouldn't have gotten that bent.

Impassioned operatives hit the conspiracy sites.

Incels and ammosexuals believe the freedumb hype

New trumptard picks up and screams MAGA at his son.

Seniors wish they could still be that dumb.

Orange traitor that rules the air, removes the science from our fairs.

Red is dead and never right.

But we decide to fight and end this cult delusion.

The president is the party leader.

They should have MULTIPLE conventions, Vegas would be perfect for this. Anyone welcome! No masks allowed. Standing room only!

Sounds like a new version of assisted suicide.

Kindly proceed!

This is all a ploy by Mango Mussolini. He wants the convention at Mar-a-Lago in Florida for two reasons: 1) to pour money into his personal bank account; and 2) to help ensure he wins Florida.

However, is Mar-a-Lago even big enough to hold a convention? Doesn’t look like it.

My god, Republicans truly are like gays clamoring to go to the bath house at the height of the AIDS epidemic! I’m sure they will this comparison!

R15. I hadn’t heard that Charlotte, NC was the only city that wanted the Repig convention. If that’s true, it’s all the more reason that the asshole will try and move it to Mar-a-Lago, which will be total chaos since it’s probably not big enough, and the heat in Florida is like going to hell in August despite air conditioning.

No way does Trump want all that deplorable crap roaming around his Florida property.

I do too. And I'd gladly donate some money so they can all attend

And as repugnant as North Carolina is, once in a while they've been known to have a tiny shred of decency. So Florida should be second choice

As much as I wish Covid-19 cases would spike among the Trump fans, I fear it won't happen as there's little justice in this world.

Instead of Mar-A-Lago, I think the Orange Pustule would rather move it to somewhere near Doral (Miami). Remember how he tried to get the G7 Summit to happen there?

[quote] I hadn’t heard that Charlotte, NC was the only city that wanted the Repig convention.

....

Bootsy, where did you get that image? Perfect!

I agree that he'd move it to Doral. I think they'll move it to Florida since it looks like the state is turning against him.

The Kool-Aid is orange and plentiful. Drink it up Republican brothers and sisters! Let us see your patriotic, maskless mouths sup strength from the Chalice of Freedom!

Or are you disloyal to your Fuhrer?

Isn't the Doral where the Pritikin Diet Center Retreat is located? Why haven't they offered the orange blimp a complimentary program, seems like the neighborly thing to do. Wonder if the Slovenian Hooker gets a free stay whenever she needs to drop a few.

There isn't much to do in Charlottee, otherwise.

I hate to be the proverbial turd in the punchbowl...I would be all for the cheerleading here if it were only the convention goers and their Republican friends and families who suffered and died. But there's also the hundreds of convention workers (and hotel workers, etc.) who have no choice but to show up and earn their paycheck, and the medical professionals back home in West Bumfuck who have to take care of the selfish pig Republicans once infected. This is the total Libertarian Fallacy that's so obvious a toddler should understand: "individual freedoms" are never limited to the individual.

Cooper will not fold.

I say pack 'em in there like sardines and anyone attempting to enter with a mask and gloves should be executed on site. NO EXCEPTIONS!

And the ones that do get covid-19 need to sign a waiver refusing all medical care.

r41, it's a joke, like when Trump suggested people shoot up with Pine-Sol.

Charlotte in August? Sounds delightful!

For entertainment they should do the conga, play Twister, and bob for apples.

[quote] as repugnant as North Carolina is, once in a while they've been known to have a tiny shred of decency.

North Carolina has long been held red by its largely rural areas and the city of... Charlotte! which just happens to boast the highest number of Covid infections in the state, by a long shot.

Former Lt. Governor Stone, when not whining about Pottery Barn’s hour, pointed out that Charlotte’s numbers appear artificially high because there are no hospitals in the surrounding counties, so everyone heads in for diagnosis.

That logic makes the city of Durham look pretty good, in comparison.

Be best, NC.

I'll fixted it.

What does this mean?

His best idea ever!

[quote]Oh no! The Orange Afterbirth is gonna move the Communist Party Congress...

R6, the "Communist Party Congress"? Please explain.

r50 sorry, typo. ^^hours

Stone publicly complained to Pottery Barn that they hadn’t reopened when everything else had, which sparked a backlash until he made his Twitter private. there’s a thread.

Thanks, R53. I blink and miss threads here.

r54 you didn’t miss much. entitled republican is entitled.

What happens if a person casts a mail-in ballot and dies before Election Day? Serious question? Does each state make its own rules?

Out of respect for our freedum ,there will be no masks allowed and Open Carry is encouraged !

...or else he'll shoot somebody up in the middle of Fifth Avenue?

Answering my own question from R56.

Yes, it depends on the State. Some count the dead person’s vote. Some will discount it if challenged and proved, which is apparently rare.

[quote] Does each state make its own rules?

Yes, they are all different, which is why some states have more trustworthy systems and some are completely corrupt.

I don't have a problem with this. Go ahead and gather, Repugs.

All they need is one super spreader. There was that guy from New Rochelle who spread it to his temple members at home and people where he worked, and people on the subway. It’s the reason N.Y. so quickly led the states in infection. This week, there were two hair stylists in Springfield MO who may have exposed 150 people to infection, though I don’t know what the number of infections actually was. With the Convention in August, they could have a considerable number of people struck with illness by the end of September.

Maybe HM, the Queen, can provide prophylactic doses of his current favorite med to convention-goers? She doesn't care too much about blindness just as long as they still can vote!

He must be… I don’t know what he is. But truth and common sense must simply elude him. This is courting disaster. Within a week or two that virus will spread, and it will be because of him. But doesn’t he get that? Does he know what that would do to his reelection chances?

This can only end well. I live in Boston where the now infamous BioGen conference was responsible for early spread of COVID19.

Are we never going to have public gatherings again for the rest of our lives? At some point, soon, the prohibitions need to end.

I'm happy to let the Republicans go first, R67.

I hope there is a lot of hugging, and bare cheek-to-cheek contact, involved. Let them own us Liberals like never before.

Well, this should work out well for them.

[quote] R67: Are we never going to have public gatherings again for the rest of our lives? At some point, soon, the prohibitions need to end.

If you play your cards right, “The rest of your life”, “some point soon”, and “need to end”, will all work together for a satisfying outcome, if you know what I mean.

cram as many of them together as humanly possible. Where, I dont care. I dont even care if it ends up at a trump property

Can we just lock them in?

Maybe start a fire?

The thing is, I’m no longer convinced DJT can win in FLA. I have many friends from the NE and Chicago who live there as retirees, and they are PISSED at that governor. I am hoping there are enough pissed Yankees to shame their governor into protecting public health. I know they are just a small faction of voters in FL, but I think they are big enough to move the election our way.

I hope this fucker loses bigly then dies.

Who wants Nazis coming to their state, during a pandemic?

Any takers.

[quote]I'm happy to let the Republicans go first, [R67].

Me, too. However....isn't the Democratic convention a week prior to the Republican convention?

Diamond & Silk are from NC and will be there.

Trump’s interest in the outside world extends to the tip of his nose.

Yesterday on the news, the Governors of Texas, Florida, and Georgia were expressing a willingness to host as an alternative to Charlotte. These are very pro-Trump, open early, Governors.

Doubtful Mayor Bottoms of Atlanta would embrace having the convention in the city.

Move it down I-85 to Greenville, SC. It is close enough to have hourly bus tours to the little community of Central, and see the childhood home of top Trump enthusiast, the fabulous Lindsey. It is now a trendy restaurant featuring fish.

R47, While I appreciate your views, you’re wrong about just about everything you said. Charlotte and Mecklenburg County voted for Clinton over Trump by 30 percentage points, and other than part of one congressional district, overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic candidates in all races in 2016. The mayor of Charlotte is a Democrat and nine of the eleven member city council are Democrats. Mecklenburg County is not why NC went red in 2016. Your point might work for the bedroom communities of Davidson or Concord, but it’s not true at all about Mecklenburg County.

In terms of Rep, Scott Stone, he is not the former Lt. Governor of N.C., he is a relatively new member of the state house. He unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination in this year’s primary for Lt. Governor but came in near the bottom.

Durham is a great city, but there is no need to smear Charlotte, which is also a liberal harbor in a conservative ocean.

Here's a Reddit thread on gerrymandering in North Carolina.
