Trump says he's yanking RNC from North Carolina over potential pandemic restrictions

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump said Tuesday said that he will be seeking another state to host the Republican National Convention because the North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper had refused to guarantee that coronavirus restrictions wouldn't affect the party's nominating convention.

"Governor Cooper is still in Shelter-in-Place Mode, and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised," he wrote in a string of tweets. "We are now forced to seek another state to host the 2020 Republican National Convention."

Earlier today, Cooper said he would not provide the president and his party with a "guarantee" that the party could hold a full-scale convention in Charlotte this summer, citing public health concerns.

"The people of North Carolina do not know what the status of COVID-19 will be in August so planning for a scaled-down convention with fewer people, social distancing and face coverings is a necessity," Cooper wrote in a letter to Republican National Commitee officials.

1. Don't come back now, y'hear?

Toodles, Bunker Boy.
Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

We are all filled up with enough Republicans here in this state as it is. We don't need any more all up in our state with disease.

6. The RNC should hire a cruise ship

They could probably do that fairly cheaply. They might even find staff who survived outbreaks and wouldn't mind serving a bunch of self centered pigs, they're used to that job. Go out in international waters, have that totally lawless Utopia they dream of, laws applying only to the crew, the "servant class."

It's either that or Florida.

7. They should just pick a state that doesn't care about

high numbers of infection because they lie about them anyway like Georgia or Florida.
