"SNIP.....


Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) mocked the capital city of Jackson — which went weeks without clean water.

Said Reeves: “It is a great day to be in Hattiesburg. It’s also, as always, a great day to not be in Jackson.”


......SNIP"

1. I have no idea about this area of the country, can I assume Jackson is either democratic or Black or

both?

5. Yes. 78% Black/AA. 73% Biden in 2020.

6. Of course.

8. It's the capital

So this joke may be a Republican “the government doesn’t work” type thing but, I mean to be fair, Reeves reminds me a Rejected Muppet character.

2. Where or where is Karma? I have been waiting for her to visit at least 5 governors, 16 House member

4 Senators and 1 former President.

7. Karma does its best work out of sight of those uninvolved

For the recipient of karmic-comeuppance, it is always an unseen, unwanted in-your-face surprise to face the fact that they were not right.

17. Only 16 and 4?

Sad aint it?

Zero shame and arrogant to boot what a cluster about to finally see the start of the end in sight, maybe?

3. What else does anybody expect, from a fuck-hole like Tate Reeves?

He's probably putting together a planeload of immigrants for shipment to Martha's Vineyard, just to keep up with DeSantis and Abbott's asshole quotient.

4. The governor ... emblematic of one of the significant problems in Mississippi. Politicians.

Governor, go fix your state!

[underpants]

9. Like taking social services money and passing it around to rich people

Including paying a football player for speeches he never gave?

[RKP5637]

11. Yep!!! n/t

[Kid Berwyn]

10. African Americans are about 80% of Jackson's population.

Tate sounds like he’s a frightened, shamed and small-minded Governor.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Because Of Course He Did

It's Tate Reeves.
No further explanation is necessary.

[PortTack]

13. What a disgusting turd!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

14. Shithole Gub'ner sez what?

[a kennedy]

15. And was this the Governor that absconded with all those millions for his buddy Bert Favor??

Or am I wrong?? 🤬 🤮 🤬

[Boomerproud]

16. It's the capital of your stupid state you worm.

Isn't there a southern joke that goes "At least we're not Mississippi."?
