Pence is crashing St Patrick's Day party in Savannah Ga

[liberal N proud]

Savannah has one of the largest St Patrick's Day festivals in the country and is generally an open container event, but this year the righteous, pompous Pence announced he will attend thus sparking "enhance security" bound to spoil any party.

12 square block of the city will be on lock down, residents will need to prove e residency to leave their homes during his presence.

1. I'd kick him the fuck out. The words "party "and "Mike Pence" don't belong in

the same sentence. Mother won't approve.

2. He'll be the life of the party.

3. A lot of people are not happy thT Pence is visiting but restricting alcohol is very unsettling

They says it’s the second biggest St Patrick’s Dqy parade after NYC ( sorry Boston).

And restricting alcohol and backpacks and chairs and other gear will really make people angry people have mutilgenrational gatherings along the parade route.

4. I have a feeling that Pence will regret this.

[smirkymonkey]

5. So do I. He is figuratively "raining on their parade".

Why is he doing this? Why Savannah?

[liberal N proud]

7. Nothing on local news about why

It was just confirmed on Tuesday and new rules rolled out today.

This will really piss a lot of people off, this is a huge party and a lot of alcohol is consumed.

6. Next year, NOLA, Mardi Gras, right Mike?

If I were the parade organizers, I would animal house it, or move the parade to an undisclosed location, postpone it for a day, tell pence, sorry we're closed, sorry mr. VP, no booze, no entry....

8. My sister was planning to go this year and now she's thinking better of it..

who the hell wants Pence there.

9. I want to see pictures!

I've been to St. Patrick's Day in Savannah. The parade is pretty family-friendly, but there's a thriving drag queen culture in Savannah (think Lady Chablis in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil".) I would LOVE to see Mike Pence in the middle of a throng of drag queens. And, it can get pretty raunchy when the sun goes down.

12. Good to know ! A group I'm part of might be taking part in the New York

Parade next year, but there was a suggestion to go for the Savannah one instead, as it's supposed to be the best.

14. Never thought of this

Hope they acknowledge his presence with a good flash or some thing that will embarrass the ass!

17. Rumor has it...

...that a lot of folks are dressing up as Stormy Daniels!

10. Is mother with him?

[NightWatcher]

11. No alcohol in the secured area (1/3 of parade route). I see Georgia going Blue

That is insane.

Why does Puritan Pence want to go to a drunken orgy?

[NightWatcher]

13. I'm from Savannah and can tell you this will suck for them.

Who invited the Puritan to a drunken Catholic holiday? Traffic and parking is already the world's largest clusterfuck on a midweek parade, but a Saturday parade with the veep in town will be catastrophic.

What is he going to get out of it, except plastic cups of warm green beer heaved his way? There is no safe secured viewing area as the big wigs ride in the parade and THERES NO WAY IN HELL they'd be dumb enough to ride him down the route.

15. The whole purpose of living in a place like Georgia is being able to drink and pack heat at the same

time and Pence and his boss both 'respect' the 2nd amendment, so why would Pence want to take away southern freedoms?

16. Calling St Patrick, *snake* sighting!1
