Good to see that the Sunday news shows can find smart people to interview instead of the gross RonJon and worse Lindsey.

“Yesterday, Major League Baseball caved to fear and lies from liberal activists,” Kemp said at a news conference on Saturday. “In the middle of a pandemic, Major League Baseball put the wishes of Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden ahead of the economic well-being of hard-working Georgians who were counting on the All-Star Game for a paycheck.”
In the middle of a pandemic which is why some systems and procedures were changed for the 2020 election. But this All Star game which had the potential to generate a specific sum of money for 2 weeks must go forward in ATL because workers need money that they lost over the last 12 months, because certain governors and a president didn’t, or wouldn’t value people’s lives over $$$. Frankly why is ATL more deserving than any other city with a major league team? Why aren’t the workers that the All Star Games ends up in not deserving? This is not like Honda, GM or any other manufacturing company deciding that “oh I don’t think we want to build our new plant in your state”.

The CEA chair was pressed on whether the President’s demand for the MLB means that the White House is urging corporations to use their economic power to take political positions.
Was this said with a sarcastic tone? The idea that corporations do anything but take political positions with their economic power is absurdly naive.

Lol, I don’t watch them either. I’m going by TPM’s and readers comments.

No…let’s allow Kemp to steal votes and rig elections…it might as well have been sarcastic.
I do not believe that it has sunk in how embedded this racism is. Especially being that the United States is a special type of nation: peopled by refugees.
The Masters’ silence was a SHOUT.
This is the right to vote that we are talking about. This is a cliff. And falling off is no fun.

There’s another important tangible benefit to what’s happening in Georgia. Other states considering similar bad-faith voting rights abuse now have a pretty good picture of what the consequences are both in economic terms and in the kind of press that comes with defending the indefensible.

And then there is this:
Conservatives policies are becoming more unpopular around the world so their solution is to stop the protests? Choke holds and water cannons; no knock warrants and rubber bullets are not enough to teach taxpayers a lesson when they refuse to accept oppressive laws?

People (and I use that term loosely here) who do not believe in the concept of good governance are always really shitty at governing.

Heaven forbid someone protest a policeman killing a woman. During a pandemic, no less. I mean it’s not like some corporation that might lose business due to a lockdown, right?
Authoritarians will use any excuse to ratchet one more notch away from freedom.
