I cannot believe the stupidity and hatefulness of GOP governor of Georgia!!!!!

He is issuing orders NOT allowing cities and counties in Georgia to mandate wearing masks as COVID desthes and cases spike there and in neighboring states.

why can't they recall that miserable shit stack?

So Kemp is taking her to court! He is suing because she told him she was going to require masks in her city and she didn't care what he decreed.

Go Keisha!

The legislature could do that, but the Governor can not. Ms. Lance-Bottoms and the city of Atlanta should win this fight in court.

I'm guessing Kemp figured she would just roll over and agree to his demands.

I suppose not!!

Thanks for the information.

I am a native of Macon-Bibb County, Georgia, and by the time I left that medium-sized city in 2016, one couldn’t be elected to a county-wide office unless one ran as a Democrat. Like the rest of the country, the rural areas are generally red, and the urban areas are generally blue. In Georgia, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, and Albany are blue ... believe it or not. That said, nearly all of the rest of the state is red.

We nearly elected Stacey Abrams. Georgia deserves a little credit. Georgia is definitely NOT Mississippi.

I think on a national level, Atlanta is very important. Major airport, pro sports, development, progressive restaurants, social museums...etc.

ATL has become very important to our country. That's all I'm getting at.

Yes. Atlanta has become a colossus of a city, and I am glad that fact is widely recognized.

They must see it as their chance to commit genocide, even at the expense of some whites.

He has no choice but to double down for the turd.

He knows he and his party are soon to become extinct.
