Bay Area Houston

After refusing to cancel the in person convention for the Texas Republican Party the elected officials responsible will not be attending themselves. Instead they will address the COVID Convention by video. From the Texas Tribune:

“All the elected officials are switching from a live, in-person speech to videos,” Kyle Whatley, the party’s executive director, said during a town hall livestreamed Tuesday night. “They’re doing that for us in order to focus all the attention on the business of the meeting and to get everybody in and out of here as quickly and as safely as possible.”

“Just because there are 6000 stupid people willing to attend a COVID Convention in person, in a Petri dish,  doesn’t mean we have to subject our families to this virus by also attending”

Ok. That last sentence is satire but it’s probably what they are thinking. Cowards like Patrick and Abbott are afraid of the virus as well as taking the stage and being booed for screwing up the response to the virus. I bet most of the attendees will cancel. 

At least they can bring their guns in case they need to shoot the virus. 

In 2018 Kathaleen Wall spent $6 Million of her own money to win a seat in Texas Congressional District 2. She didn’t even make the runoff. Now she has spent another $7.5 million to win the Republican nomination in another district, CD22.

According to her latest report on the Federal Election Commission’s website, Wall has donated $6 Million of her own money to her campaign with another $1.5 million in a loan. She received about $12,000 from other sources.

Wall is another Donald Trump with a dress, a gun, and a bullhorn for her dog whistles of divisiveness and racist comments. She is the perfect representation of the new Republican Party.

Remember when Trump labeled himself as the “wartime president” fighting the Coronavirus pandemic? From Politico:

“I do, I actually do, I’m looking at it that way,” Trump told reporters during a press briefing at the White House when asked whether he considered the U.S. to be on a wartime footing. “I look at it, I view it as, in a sense, a wartime president. I mean, that’s what we’re fighting.“

After just four months of battle resulting in 3 million infections, 132,000 deaths, 14% unemployment, and trillions in lost revenues the wartime president has tucked tail and declared he is quitting. From NBC News:

Eager to move forward and reopen the economy amid a recession and a looming presidential election, the White House is now pushing acceptance. 

“The virus is with us, but we need to live with it,” is how one official said the administration plans to message on the pandemic.

Just like during the Vietnam war, trump has morphed into a COVID Coward. A weak, incompetent, lying, confused, COVID Coward. We haven’t lost the battle over the virus. We have just lost the coward in chief.

Since opening up the state, Greg Abbott’s numbers of COVID cases has nearly TRIPLED! We were warned this was going to happen. Abbott is responsible for this. Trump is responsible for this. The Unites States unlike European nations has been unable and unwilling to flatten the curve. Texas has become the new New York with 8000+ new cases each day.

Because of this incredible stupidity by Abbott we should expect home schooling for 2021, no traveling, continued lockdown at home, and more.

According to The Texas Tribune:

Gov. Greg Abbott is allowing limits on outdoor crowds — but not indoor gatherings. His party’s convention — with an expected attendance of 6,000 — so far will not require attendees to wear face masks.

This is nothing but a COVID Convention with an outbreak about to happen right here in Houston. How many people are going to be exposed to this group of morons? How many convention workers? How many hotel workers? Abbott, the Mensa of the Coronavirus response is about to close down the state but I am sure he will allow his party to have their fill of COVID and allowing them to possibly spread the disease to Houstonians.

They will probably stick to firm rules. No Mexicans, Muslims, non-Christians, Jews, teachers, sick, poor, and others. No masks will be allowed. Only hoods. Wear them proudly.
