Oh thank God! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, unless it also included a ban on wearing masks!

Too bad it couldn’t be a little sooner, you know, so it could take full advantage of the virus.

“And there’s ample time for us to adjust, if necessary,” [Ronna McDaniel] told reporters.

I hope the venue had the wherewithal to add a steep fee for deep cleaning once the convention is over. And maybe add that they have to bring their own toilet paper, just for shits and giggles.

All it takes is one of these inbred Rugged Individualists™ to cut a hole in their masks and they’ll all do it.

I don’t care how many temperatures they take, and how many masks they (haphazardly for sure) wear, the end result here will be to spew super spreaders all over the country. If they could all just die, fine. But they’ll infect innocent people, and burden hospitals and healthcare workers. This is totally irresponsible.

And will they wear masks? Wouldn’t that be the wrong optic – and of course Pence and Trump don’t. So I think there will be a lot of delegates flying their freedumb flags high even if some do try to protect themselves.

Anyone think he will return the 206,000 dollars he raised for legal fees via GoFundMe ?

So there will be a those on a ventilator only section? I wonder if the RNC will pick up the hospital bills for attendees that get hospitalized 2 weeks after the convention?

I’m all for culling that particular herd. But just think of all the local hospitality workers, etc who will be, in effect, held hostage by that convention.

These are the same “patriots” who wore “Purple Heart Band-Aids” to mock a wounded Vietnam vet.

Rest assured they’ll mock Fauci and healthcare workers by cutting holes in their “Hoax Masks”.

The way things are going, I think the virus will still be at peak capacity when all these loonies get together to cheer on Fearless Leader.

Yelling and cheering, I understand, is an extremely fine way to spread much more virus around much more quickly.

So, yeah, please proceed. And don’t forget to inhale deeply between whoops.
