Kemp is a racist murderer. Bet some voters wish they had Stacy Abrahams now!!!

1. When will people learn?

Republicans are the enemy of the people.

[CaptYossarian]

14. The Party Of Death: the POD People.

Guns, starvation, homelessness, war for oil/imaginary weapons of mass destruction, denying health care, and now a pandemic.

They aren't pro-life. They're pro-fetus (anti-women) and xenophobic to the point of violence.

No sane person or true patriot should ever vote for these reptiles.

[Odawg]

21. Stupid people have learning disabilities

[Takket]

2. They would literally rather die than accept they might be wrong

Ignorance is a badge of honor for them.

[Odawg]

16. You are so right...

[Kitchari]

4. Exactly

I did not think of this before, but now it's perfectly obvious

[yardwork]

5. That's it.

[RoadRising]

6. Kemp stole that election.

The majority of Georgians always wanted Stacey Abrams.

[crickets]

22. Truth!

Welcome to DU, RoadRising!

[niyad]

37. Welcome to DU.

7. K&R, So Kemp is selling out to the insurance companies and can't afford UE

[oldsoftie]

20. You can still collect UE if you decide to NOT reopen.

The named businesses are being allowed to reopen; not told to reopen. The choice is up to the owners.
And workers can earn up to $300 a week and still get UE.

[Grokenstein]

8. Aw, no worries!

Society will still continue to function when this shit hits hundreds of reopened businesses and thousands of employers and employees! The economy will be booming, in fact! Kay Ay Gee Twenny Twenny wooooo!

/sarcasm

Seriously, though, get this out there, distribute Gianoulidis' tweet everywhere you can, even to venues you know are already crawling with wrongwing idiots. The ones who are in the crosshairs of this idiocy need to know, and they need to speak the hell up.

[superpatriotman]

9. Time to roll out the guillotines

I’ve been saying this for months

[McKim]

12. The French Would Never Put Up with This!

The French would never put up with this level of abuse. We should have been in the streets en masse months ago! This country is behaving like a battered wife watching a horror film unfold.

[generalbetrayus]

15. I've been recommending bringing back crucifixion

for all these faux Christians like Kemp.

[OMGWTF]

36. Time to re-read "A Tale of Two Cities" -- I've been saying that for decades!

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. Hello media, can we talk about this please?

[Yavin4]

11. That belief in racism/White supremacy never ceases to amaze me.

There is a resilient segment of the GOP/White vote that values being White over life itself. It's more than their identity. It's their entire existence.

If government helps everyone equally, than that diminishes their "Whiteness". Better that folks should die.

[cab67]

13. What I think needs to happen -

Airports outside of Georgia (both within and beyond the US) should ban arrivals coming from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. Given Georgia's unwillingness to take the pandemic seriously, there is too great a risk for infection arriving by air from that state. It's a matter of safety.

Hartsfield-Jackson is one of the largest and busiest airports in the US, and it's the major hub for Delta.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. Isn't it also

the major hub for Fedex and/or UPS.........

[oldsoftie]

29. The FAA insures airline commerce continues. And A ton of flights connect thru ATL.

So Chicago cant just say "no more flights from ATL"

[cab67]

32. You're probably right.

But airports in other countries certainly can. And, in my opinion, should.

[IronLionZion]

17. Dying for dollars. These pro-lifers are absolutely diabolical.

They're hoping enough voters die before the next election as their strategy to stay in power to avoid raising taxes on the fabulously wealthy corporations of Georgia.

[live love laugh]

18. It's not as if they didn't vote for Abrams. Republicans steal elections

and Georgia is no exception.

[oldsoftie]

19. "John" is not being honest. NO ONE is being "forced" to open. Unemployment is NOT stopping.

I know of some places that have announced they are re opening with the new guidelines, and others that are waiting.
NOT opening does NOT stop your unemployment insurance. You can even earn up to $300 a week and still get UE.
Banks have NEVER closed.
Almost all of the businesses being allowed to reopen are self employment type places with small numbers of people. Those are the best ones to stat with to see if the new guidelines will help with control. Instead of concert halls, theaters and other places where you'd get 500+ people together.
My friend is a hairdresser. She said her shop will allow one client in at a time & clean everything in between. Her salon has "cubicles", so you're never close to anyone BUT the stylist. They all will be wearing masks; as will the client. Seems like a good way to go. I could be wrong, but how often does that happen


Regardless, in 6-8 weeks we'll know what the right decision was.

[Scarsdale]

27. The ultimate wrong decision

was allowing tRump to be placed into the WH by Putin. The gop is responsible for that major disaster.

[Dan]

34. I think 2 to 3 weeks.

[oldsoftie]

35. Well, I'm being generous. Because what happens if 2-3 go by & not much happens?

It may still be too early. But if a month and a half goes by and hospitals arent overflowed, then it may mean something.
I'd still want to see antibody testing

[Politicub]

23. Georgia has always been a sadistic state.

The republican majority can’t allow people to have a little relief from suffering so they turn the thumbscrews to increase pain.

[BComplex]

24. Most of the poor, uneducated white people in the south vote republican.

Walmart is full of republican employees. These governors are cutting their own throats.

I just feel for the good democrats in the south that don't get a say in all of this because their redneck neighbors keep voting for these damned republicans, and then these damned republicans gerrymander the voting districts to keep democrats out of office.

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. And then Georgia has saved money on unemployment, and as people get sick and die -

and they can't afford their medical bills, then the feds (that is, the Northern/Yankee/Blue states) have to pay for it.

So Georgia wins triply: they reduce their minority population, they save money on unemployment, and all the costs generated because of their malfeasance and idiocy as people get sick and/or die get shifted to the "goddamn gummint" that they hate so much but which has been covering their financial mismanagement for 150 years.

[oldsoftie]

30. You can still collect UE if you DONT open. And if you earn up to $300 a week.

The State isnt forcing anyone to open
Per WSB Atlanta ABC news last night. I trust their sourcing better than some random guy blathering on Twitter

[Scarsdale]

26. All wages and benefits to politicians

should be suspended, until they come up with SENSIBLE solutions to this mess the stupid president has caused. No matter how they slice it, this is TRUMP'S fault. He has no idea what the duties of a president are, nor does he care. He makes money from ignoring the emoluments clause, with his businesses and that is his main objective. Easiest, most lucrative gig he has ever had.

[oldsoftie]

31. Why has the emoluments issue not made its way through the courts yet?

Or has it?

[Hamlette]

33. If Georgia can't pay unemployment benefits the federal government will/must

its the law.

Just saying, benefits will be paid but Georgia will owe the feds.

[Mike Niendorff]

38. K&R

Best post I've seen this week.

100% spot-on.
