Great - can't wait to see the droves of trumplicunts come here locked and loaded. It'll cost the city 300M in security alone. But at least the hookers will get their inflated rates that week.

The city will profit bigly, Einstein. That’s why the mayor is advocating for it.

Yes, that’s exactly what will happen. The party reimburses the host city for additional security, nearly 44mil for Cleveland in 2016. The convention was basically online in 2020 due to the coof.
Go back and review your 2nd grade grammar, btw.

Mebbe all the patriots from the surrounding counties will come and clean out the shithole that Allegheny county is.

No different than when the G20 was here a few years back and had the entire downtown blocked off by armed military.

And right on cue - the libtard politicians show they hate Pittsburgh businesses who would get a nice boost in revenue from holding this convention. What a bunch of fucking idiotic tools
Democratic Politicians Protest Pittsburgh Being Considered For 2024 Republican National Convention
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — After the announcement Pittsburgh may be one of several cities where the 2024 Republican National Convention could be held, local Democratic politicians are speaking out.
On Sunday, both District 9 City Councilman Rev. Ricky V. Burgess and Congressional candidate Jerry Dickinson publicly stated that they are opposed to the idea of the city hosting the convention.
Burgess wrote a letter to VisitPITTSBURGH, which he says is encouraging the RNC to happen in the city, and asked them to withdraw their interest:
“As disturbing as it is to learn that the Republican National Committee is considering Pittsburgh for its 2024 National Convention, it is appalling that VisitPittsburgh, which receives millions of dollars in tax revenue each year, is leading this charge.”
“VisitPITTSBURGH has inquired about submitting a bid to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention, but at this time, we have not been invited by the Democratic National Committee to submit a formal proposal,” a spokesperson for VisitPITTSBURGH said on Friday.
Meanwhile, Dickinson criticized new Democratic Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey and Allegheny County Executive Fitzgerald for comments they allegedly made in support of hosting the convention.
“Mayor Gainey and County Executive Fitzgerald want to offer our city to the Republican Party to use as a megaphone and national stage to voice anti-democratic values months before Republicans likely attempt to overturn the 2024 election,” he said. “I’m calling on the Mayor and County Executive to renounce the allure of big business in the name of safeguarding our democracy.”
Another member of city council weighed in this weekend as well:
“I realize I don’t get a vote here, but just for the record, I vote nope,” District 8 Councilwoman Erika Strassburger tweeted on Saturday.

After reading how much the city is going to make in cash flow from this, I'm in favor of it.
However knowing how many rascist, homophobic, ignorant trumpets it is going to attract, I want to be against it.
None the less, I'm not going to see any of the money coming in, so I'm more on the side of 'no' in regards to this..

Economically it's a yes, but from the backlash of cancel culture, I'd say prolly not. Hate to see it but just like the pillow guy who got a kick to the nuts, I don't want to see a specific business get bounced out of business. On the plus side , the little Trump house would be living a 2nd reincarnation!
