As the Republican Party of Texas moves forward with plans for a controversial in-person convention scheduled next week, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D) said Wednesday his administration is investigating ways to cancel it.
Republican Party of Texas Chair James Dickey responded to Turner’s renewed efforts to stop the event later on Wednesday by ripping the mayor for “seeking to deny” the Republican Party of a “critical electoral function”…
You misspelled “criminal.”
Just don’t issue any of the permits. Unlawful assembly. You know gas, semi-lethal projectiles.
Houston Mayor Is Exploring Options to Cancel State’s In-Person GOP Convention
Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
In a normal country this shouldn’t be ever matter of discussion
Aw, let them meet, If we can’t get herd immunization, then lets thin the GOP herd.
If he cancels it will the hookers be eligible for PPP?
… elected officials including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) would make remarks remotely in videos…
… because it’s totally safe. Cowards and hypocrites all. Double snark for Dan “die for the economy” Patrick.
DONE - Adios MOFOs
Well, at least we now know of ONE Republican official who has some common sense, not to mention a healthy respect for what the Coronavirus is capable of doing to his city. Thank you Mayor Turner.
Does Texas still have a drive in movie theater? I mean it’s Texas, and everything bigger in Texas so they must still have one. Or does the Texas Republican Party have $6000 to buy each attendee their own Zorb ball?
Well then all attendees will have to submit to radio tagging. Gotta keep track of the infection somehow.
I’m happy for Houston. Good on you, Mayor.
They’ll all get infected eventually when they go to church.
IF they all really go to church.
Every time they go to an event with more than X number of people then they get tagged for each event.
I can just see the game wardens being entrusted with driving around with their radio antennas checking wear these party people are.
“…We shut down the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, and this event is no greater and no better.”
Right. The livestock show has all kinds of livestock. This is only going to have pigs.
Turner’s a Democrat
Well they announced yesterday that the State Fair of Texas which is a big fucking deal, is cancelled for 2020. That ought to be a big fat clue to the rest of the state, even bigger than the cancellation of SXSW.
Psst… Turner is a Democrat. So no, we’re back to NONE.
