The Republican Party of Texas will hold its disputed in-person convention but elected officials including Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick have opted to offer their remarks virtually.
Patrick, after his world wind Media Tour with his message of sacrificing for the economy, had better show up in person.
Yet they want to open schools, consequences be damned,
Chickenshit. Every one of them.
Itâs just going to be a grotesque âreality showâ for the self-aggrandizement of Donnie so WTF is the point of it anyway?
When Dan Patrick said you old people should go ahead and die he didnât include himself, obviously. Heâs a one-man death panel who gives his own self a get-out-of-the-morgue card. Dan Patrick, the talk show host who still knows how to get attention for his god-damn cowardly loudmouth self.
That hypocrite Tx Lt GovâŚ
How dare he NOT attend in person when he said it was okay to KAG = Kill American Geriatrics for Wallstreet!
So has the Tx Lt Gov Dan Patrick taken Dr Fauciâs advice after all or is he just a âsnowflakeâ after all?

Addendum:
Meanwhile in Ohio, another wanna-be DeSantis or an aspiring Mini-Trump Germ-Over-People Party member demands that Americans should stop getting tested for Covid despite rising Covid casesâŚ
Well, Iâm sure heâs determined that his own personal death wouldnât help the economy as much as the right and necessary death of other people whoâve grown old and useless.
US flags as snot rags? I still find face masks with images of the US flag kind of creepy.
âwe will continue to see what the standards are that will be issued by the SREC, by the state Republican Partyâ
And to hell with what the health experts say.
âDo as I do, not as I say.â
Itâs becoming painfully obvious that elected GOP officials are just cowards⌠unwilling to risk their lives for their leader.
SoâŚwhat is the point of making all the worker bees tempt fate? Youâd think this might make at least some of their party ponder if their lives are really valued.
The nobility is going to stay safe and let the serfs spread COVID-19 among themselves.
I would never begrudge someone the opportunity to save their own skin, but what about the rest of these poor schlubs? Of course our politics and our culture have deteriorated to an unbearable place, but donât their lives mean anything to the puppeteers?
I see a guy like Abbott and I get it - he looks and sounds like a politician. His policies are bilious, but I get it.
I see a guy like Dan Patrick, and I think âwhat the hell is a Lieutenant Governor? What is the purpose of this office? Is being a complete troglodyte a strength in this office?â Concluding his voluntary death tour by opting out of actually exposing himself to anything is pitch perfect for the Texas GOP.
All those folks screaming about burning the American flag and wanting to imprison people for doing so think itâs fine to go around with the flag on their butts or stretched across their overstuffed stomachs. Now thatâs really disrespectful! And pretty hard to see. 
Language matters. In a recent paper on industrial policy in the time of covid, Reda Cherif and Fuad Hasanov note that âflattening the curveâ with periodic shutdowns and reopening may not be as desirable as âsquashing the curveâ.
Instead of âflattening the curveâ, an alternative strategy consists in âsquashing the curveâ by imposing stringent measures such as lockdowns and business and school closures. By bringing R0 substantially below one, the number of infected would dwindle rapidly while sparing most of the population from the infection.
Finland, New Zealand, Norway, have used this strategy to good effect. Few dead and no government shitshow like in the US at present. Have we once heard and American politician talk about squashing the curve?
Apparently the Texas Lt Gov has legislative and administrative powers greater than the Gov?
Itâs Texas.
The Texas governorâs primary function is to sign execution orders and kiss babies.
This is axiomatic.
The GOP politician CARES ABOUT HIS FUCKING JOB, WITH ALL THE PERKS ATTACHED TO IT. He is the weakest link in the chain. We just are lazy in attacking them. They support killing people. They WILL not put themselves in danger because they crave their FUCKING JOB.
I would hound that fucking Moscow McConnell to the Ends of the Earth. He would not get a minuteâs sleep until Nov, 2020. He is 100% responsible for every death Trump has caused and history will say so.
âOpen the schoolsâ
-TEA from their home offices
