Dead people is an, “It is what it is.” Failing businesses though are grounds for impeachment.

This Nino Vitale fellow seems nice. Christian too (if nailing Jesus to the cross is part of the doctrine these days). Which, sadly, in the case of the evangelicals appears to be the case.

“With deaths and hospitalizations from COVID-19 flattened, the Governor continues to press his boot on the throat of Ohio’s economy,” wrote Rep. John Becker ®, the lawmaker who is leading the charge, in a statement.

"Press his boot?" I call that inflammatory!

This new breed of Republicans are hard to believe. You’re either with Trump 100% or you’re impeached? Not scolded, or shamed, or called a RINO, but removal from office!

Any and all moderate GOP members might as well just make the R–> D switch now, before you’re tried in absentia for the crimes of Dear Leader Disloyalty.

Waving hello to Ohio from your neighbors in Pennsylvania who “reopened” back in June and saw our daily infection rate go from under 400 to the better part of a thousand daily in very short order. How you damn Republicans can act like you’re a legitimate party and not commit mass suicide for shame is a mystery to me, it really is.

Trump’s already in Charlotte yapping away. He’s going to be a tired little fellow at 10 p.m. carrying on like this.

He’s listing his accomplishments now. :roll_eyes:

Lots of hooting and hollering. This is what this convention is about—narcissistic supply.

Not sure I’ll be able to hang in there myself at 10 p.m. This is so incredibly boring. He’s telling “Sir” stories all over the place.

So some of the 57%ers that votes/lives in Ohio wants to infect or kill more people now?

"Rep. Nino Vitale ®. Vitale has refused to wear a mask, claiming that it obscures “the image and likeness of God,”

If she wears any clothes, she is a hypocrite.

from the blog coverage

A member of the audience yelled “monkey!” as Trump began ranting about Obama, to which Trump responded “let’s be nice,” then snickered.

“This can only happen in North Carolina,” he said, to which the audience laughed and applauded.

May as well close up shop today Trump. Unless you up your game later, I think this will be what gets the most play at the after party.

It’s in the water, right?

Jesus. These people are politicians; they work with the public. You’d think they’d understand not to yell that on national TV.
