Republicans have already murdered one Governor of Kentucky...
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Trump has threatened to move the GOP convention from North Carolina unless the Democratic governor lifts the half-occupancy rule.

Jesus. I mean whether or not you agree with that rule that is really some bullshit.

Don't the Republicans worry what all these attacks on the sovereignty of the states is going to mean as far as precedents?

I don't see it as an attack on state sovereignty for the same reason I didn't see various companies decisions to threaten to pull events if North Carolina didn't revoke their boys only pee with boys law.  Having a convention anywhere is a free choice after all.

I thought it was funny because Trump wants to jam a couple thousand conventioneer loons in boaters (and himself) into a room and have them cough on each other.

I don't think precedent will mean much going forward. If the GOP does it then it's fine, but if Democrats do it then it will be denounced and fought tooth and nail, regardless of precedents.

This is not an isolated instance, he is throwing around all kinds of threats to attack the governors.

But really it is the very public way he is attacking them from his position that is a problem, I don't think he has actually done shit yet.

I see a difference between threatening them with powers of his office vs. threatening with what is essentially a private, nongovernmental event.

Maybe he can just go with the second place state's bid? Oh. Whoops.  ;)

I think everyone should do everything possible so that the GOP can have a very tightly packed, crowded convention. :goodboy:

Wearing a mask is surrendering to fear. Things these strong man will go to enormous length to not appear to be.

Wearing a mask is showing respect for the lives of others.  Things these strong men couldn't give a slightest shit about.

Empathy is weakness, apparently.

The way I heard is that empathy is enabling the weak and therefore bad.

Sure there is a difference, even if it is part of the same effort.

God, watching the Governor of North Dakota choke up was depressing.  How the fuck did we get to this point?
