Trump is engineering an extinction event for the GOP.

[drray23]

Both politically and literally. The convention will take place in Jacksonville with no social distancing or masks. For good measure, since there are not enough hotels, they are commandeering a cruise ship to house the attendees...

And you know what ? The magats will go for it. Trump has a Jim Jones hold on his cultists

34. Yeah I was gonna make the same remark

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. He's on a roll! Killing innocent Americans isn't enough.

Now go for the heart and soul of your Party. Covid or Trump? Who you gonna believe?

[madaboutharry]

3. This sounds like the plans of a madman.

Oh wait....

A cruise ship? You couldn’t pay me to get on a cruise ship. Literally. If someone offered me $1,000,000 to stay on a cruise ship, I would say no.

[demtenjeep]

8. I will

I would live on a ship if I could

[scarletwoman]

22. With 3000 other passengers onboard???

[lambchopp59]

25. Providing I had an open porthole, or better yet, a balcony room I'd be game.

Just all other activity out, room service or pack-in food all the way. I wouldn't hurry to disembark and wear a PAPR with every excursion through the corridors until outside, far down the plank.
I'd take that over taking any flight anywhere, sealed inside a tight airspace no matter how carefully masked all other passengers were.
Wishful thinking all. I wouldn't even consider the latter, couldn't dream of affording a luxury cabin.

4. His supporters are mostly evil, but they are not (mostly) idiots.

I suspect that his convention will be very poorly attended.

-Laelth

[jrthin]

10. I don't know about the idiot part. I am going to place

bets that they are also (mostly) idiots.

[Laelth]

12. Perhaps.

But the ones who could afford to go to the convention are not.

It will be poorly attended. He will be butthurt about it. He will blame someone. It’s all too predictable.

-Laelth

[GulfCoast66]

18. Can't find the article but read they were having problems finding enough alternate delegates

Because so many are not planning on attending.

The ones attending the convention are not the average trump cultist. They are the rich happy to exploit the cultists. But not anxious to get sick.

[Laelth]

19. That's what I am thinking.

His convention is going to be a bust, and I will be laughing at his arrogance and stupidity.



-Laelth

[NoRoadUntravelled]

26. He'll just make up numbers like he did for the inauguration.

Then one of his staff will photoshop something that looks obviously photoshopped and his base will eat it up.

[keithbvadu2]

39. Some photoshop skills will take care of the attendance.

Some photoshop skills will take care of the attendance.

[Laelth]

42. Highly likely. n/t

[soldierant]

28. I believe they are contractually obligated to hold the delegate voting in

North Carolina, and that the Jacksonville event will be for theater. I honestly am betting on "mostly idiots" for Florida, and probably "mostly evil' for NC.

[Laelth]

32. I think you nailed it. n/t

-Laelth

[smirkymonkey]

15. Yeah, I'm with you. Not only are they mostly idiots, but they are brainwashed

cult members. I don't think most of the people at the Jonestown massacre were idiots, yet they either willingly participated or were coerced. They were brainwashed.

These people in Trump's cult are the die-hard faithful. They will do anything for him. Even risk their lives.

Whatever they have to do to convince themselves that supporting their Fuehrer is more important than anything else in life, they will do it. Even if it means endangering their health.

[drray23]

17. We will see firsthand with the Tulsa rally.

if it's well attended. Its a good bet the magats will go for the convention.

[katmondoo]

35. I read the hotels are full in Jacksonville, Fl.

I worry because my Granddaughter lives and works in Jacksonville. So many problems there.

[SergeStorms]

37. They'll all lay in a good supply....

of Hydroxychloroquine and Clorox Chewables. Maybe a few Lysol chasers, just to be sure. They'll be alright.

[3Hotdogs]

41. Not so. They all know C-19 is Democratic bullshit.

And if you wear a mask or keep 6 ft. apart, you're a libtard.

[Laelth]

44. LOL. Then I wish them well.

I highly recommend the Clorox chewables.



-Laelth

[hatrack]

51. Well, I hear Gov. DeSuckup has about a million doses he'd like to unload . . .

What better time than late August in Jacksonville?

[IronLionZion]

50. You're giving them too much credit

The dumbest ones will attend the convention to own the libs.

Political candidates and party leaders will still have to show their faces at some point, even briefly. And that would put them in close contact with COVIDiots.

[lunatica]

5. I've chosen to stop worrying for their lives and health

It’s going to happen no matter what and people will die, and Trump is counting on that two week period before symptoms occur to divorce himself from any responsibility. Hell! He might be doing it deliberately to punish them for not going out during the demonstrations to kill the liberals for him.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

6. He's playing 5-D chess against the GOP!

Or whatever dimension he has supposedly reached by now. Lol.

The end result seems to be the same, even though Trump is a bumbling idiot.

[demtenjeep]

7. where is the bit about a cruise ship?

We were supposed to be on our family cruise this week




dumpt can kiss my ass

[drray23]

11. It turns out that when Jacksonville hosted the superbowl

back then in 2005 the city was too small and did not have enough hotels so they docked five ships and football fans booked rooms in them.

Trump just moved the convention there and once again all hotels are full so they want to again get cruise ships to host the attendees.

[Ligyron]

21. Perfect! Just don't let them back on land, quarantine ship.

[Ilsa]

13. don't forget Juneteenth!

every rally they have is another nail in the coffin...pun intended

[Blue Owl]

14. Optics! Optics!

Don't think, just -- Optics!

[JHB]

20. NeverTrumpers are the ones who engineered it. Trump's just drag racing on what they built.

Best scenario? He takes them both down.

[drray23]

49. Your sig is interesting . It looks like the shaddoks.nt.

[JHB]

54. It's the frames from an Ann Telnaes animated cartoon

[Under The Radar]

23. The result may be the same but Trump doesn't have the ability to plan

...or to have a strategy. He is spontaneous only

[budkin]

24. I hope they all get sick

I don't care anymore.

[BarbD]

27. It will be a convention of paid alternate delegates.

[Pluvious]

29. You could have never sold this as a movie script n/t

[Doreen]

30. Maybe someone should post signs around to remind people

in that area at least to be sure to wear masks, gloves, and have extra sanatizer to better protect themselves from the idiots who went to orange blubber's rally. Just to note there is going to be a higher risk after this rally. Don't let the trump humpers take you down with them.

[Thunderbeast]

31. If I were a nurse or doctor working in an ICU...

I would be tempted to say "SCREW IT" and walk out when all the Magats arrive in the ER demanding that I risk MY life to save their sorry asses!

If contact tracing finds a patient negligently contracted the virus at a rally, I would roll their gurney out to the parking lot and dump them out. Let their wife/sister/cousin load them into the back of the F-150, and take them home to die. Instruct them (using 4Chan I guess) to dig a grave big enough for both of them.

If these asshats want to kill themselves...FINE! Stop providing the medical interventions that kill innocent people.

[seta1950]

33. I'm not surprised

I’m just worried where those people are going to go afterwards ☹️😳

[Jirel]

36. Be still my heart!

Win both ways - either they get on the SS Jim Jones or they all stay home and the convention is filled with the sound of crickets.

With any luck, every employee in the area will refuse to serve the plague rats.

[Initech]

38. Go ahead, take the hydroxychloroquine, it will cure all that ails you!

[catbyte]

40. Who in their right mind would cram aboard a floating petrie dish like that? But then again,

being out of your mind is a prerequisite for being a MAGAt so nevermind.

[Scalded Nun]

43. Please, proceed.

[LudwigPastorius]

45. The most fucked up part?

The guy who struts around promoting this giant virus incubator is making attendees sign a waiver saying they won't sue him if they get sick!

I guess we're going to find out just how fucking stupid the Trumpistas are.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/06/trump-rallygoers-must-agree-not-to-sue-if-they-get-covid-19.html

On Thursday, the Trump campaign sent out registration info for the president’s first rally since the coronavirus shutdown, including a waiver for attendees to agree to acknowledging the “inherent risk” of gathering in an enclosed space to yell for hours at a time. “By attending the rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.,” or the venue liable “for any illness or injury,” the agreement read.

46. Be our guest, Donnie Boy.........

[BadGimp]

47. If I could toss some Gold, right now I would.

drray23 ... my meme has been #GOPSurrender

My slight edit:

Trump is engineering an extinction-level event for the GOP.

[calimary]

48. Hey, works for me!

I got nothing but a big "GOOD RIDDANCE" to the whole miserable lot of 'em.

[JudyM]

52. Here's hoping they all crowd around McConnell.

[0rganism]

53. unfortunately the event is a not going to be GOP-only

sadly, the GOP delegidiots will not take ill and die at the convention, a la Poe's Masque of Red Death

instead they will bring the virus back home with them, exposing and re-exposing their family and associates. within a couple jumps the virus will once again become statistically agnostic to the political leanings of its food supply. a few more transmission hops and it will be back to preying on the weakest and poorest among us.

there is no win here. the self-goal is at the species level, not merely one political sect.

[drray23]

57. Yes but we liberals are fact based.

Which means we will wear masks and socially distance. I have removed from my life interacting with anybody who is a Trumper. I don't frequent places where they congregate.

I am lucky that every single person in all sides of my family is a liberal. I know that's not the case for all families but then, that's a good opportunity to socially distance with them anyway..

[womanofthehills]

55. Trump supporters are not exactly a healthy looking bunch

Easy pickings for the virus. All the Trump supporters I know are low information people who act like the virus is no longer around.

[Calculating]

56. Mistakes by our enemies are meant to be capitalized on

That's how I view this.

[TexasBushwhacker]

58. But attendees of the convention and his rallies have to sign a waiver

that they will not sue him if they get COVID-19.
