1. Nice how he's painting his humiliating concession to reality as a win.

2. FUCK this DEATHPANEL bastard!

The Mayor is 10000% right on the money, and they know it!

3. Once again internal polls are probably not good.

Plus he couldn't afford a loss in court to make him look even more stoopid.

5. +1

Took the words right out of my mouth!
Both notions!
PR and a probable loss in court!

4. Didn't something happen this week in Georgia...?

Something about schools opening and masks...?

Just askin’...

9. Paulding County and Cherokee County ISDs have

Huge numbers of students in quarantine after positive tests in the schools. Voluntary masking.

6. Late July 2020, Covid explodes at Georgia state YMCA camp.

(Days later trDump says children are poor vectors of Covid virus and are somehow magically immune. He insists all schools across the country open for the coming fall session.)

Back to the YMCA Camp in the state of Georgia,

260 children and staff at Georgia overnight camp test positive for coronavirus, CDC says.

The camp did not require its more than 360 campers, who ranged in age from 6 to 19, to wear masks.

7. Well, well, well. Optics are double-plus-ungood for Kemp these days.

Eventually he's going to have to break down and mandate masks. If he has any sense (and elephants will fly, I know) he'll put the mandate in place before Biden makes him do it in January. The only thing a control freak like Kemp hates more than not getting Bottoms to back down is putting himself in a situation where someone else makes him do it.

8. KKKemp is dumbest Gubnor in USA, plus he sounds/looks like he's chewing a big plug of tobacco.

12. ...

10. Chicken shit blowhard!

He thought he could rant and rave, threaten and scare Democrats into backing down, now he slithering off with his rail tucked between his legs and egg on his face.

Loser!

11. Someone finally figured out that he was enroute to a horrifically embarrassing loss in the courts.

Kudos, Keisha.
