Disgusting. This kind of corruption is obviously creeping out of the sewers because of the lack of federal civil rights protection, but don’t think that’s going to be forever, you punks. And we can have a nice little national boycott in the meantime. You want to carry on like that, I’ll spend my money on an ethical state’s beaches.

They must be really scared.

One more indication that the republikkkan political crime cult is going all in on fascism. They are quite blatantly engaging in a campaign of persecution of their political opponents. Their goal seems to be to turn the US into the world’s biggest shithole country.

His commission reportedly claims to have also audited the filings of Republican gubernatorial candidates as well, but found no irregularities.

Sounds legit.

They’ll decide on prosecutions on a case by case basis? That seems to assume that there will be prosecutions. Of course he already is planning to charge someone, maybe several people, in retribution for that nasty Black woman getting so close to defeating his friend Kemp. Why, she caused Kemp and the Republicans to expend a lot more effort to suppress votes then they normally would have needed.

Don’t blame me; I voted for her.

As for the rest of you who voted for this corrupt admin in GA, after all those nice little tax revenues from Hollywood start drying up when this boycott kicks in, when businesses start leaving the state, and when people realize that they were voting against their best interests all along, I’ll just have one thing to say:

Suckers!

Probably illegally. I’m sure the Ethics Chief will get around to investigating your vote, along with every other Democratic one in the State.

Yes, bummer that though, Amelia Island is nice and The Concours d’Elegance car show there is pretty great.

Also too:

Fruitcake from Claxton, GA
Georgia peaches.
Pecans
Coca-Cola in Atlanta.
Carpet - Dalton, GA.
Augusta National
Vidalia onions - oh wait…that’s a tough one. :wink:

(just kidding around)

I know, I have a book on fishing opportunities along all those beaches from NC south. Good food, lot of nice folks, pretty scenery. But the innocent have to suffer along with the guilty, that’s how boycotts work, the innocent run to the guilty and say WTF, guilty? WTF?

ETA I was at a convention long ago in Atlanta and it was a great disappointment. It wasn’t too long after they’d had the Olympics and they’d renovated the center city and taken away any old-world charm it might have had. No country ham and grits for breakfast, just the same overpriced hotel omelet you’d get anywhere. Phooey.

They’re Republicans. Payback is their 1st reaction followed by, “I got mine, sucker.”

This is utter BS. To launch investigations ‘just because you can’ should have Georgia voters up in arms. Not only is it corrupt, it is a waste of taxpayer’s resources and I don’t thing Georgia can really afford that. But hey…keep it up a$$hat and Georgia can suffer the same fate as NC from the business/Hollywood communities.

Look, all Republicans are Nazis or Nazi sympathizers and apologists (Nazis were good at crime as well). This is just out of their playbook. Nothing to see here.

Of course there is more to the story then TPM summarizes. Follow the links within the link and you can come up with this.

Partisanship? Who could think such a thing!

Oh I agree, your comment just put Georgia on my mind as I’ve been through there many times and have friends there or from there. I managed a 4 day history tour a few years ago, base in Atlanta with a big circle through Macon, Andersonville, Americas, Plains, Columbus, FDR’s Little White House, etc. Great tour.

One of the many highlights was the profoundly moving POW Museum near Andersonville. Our group was there when 2 busloads of young military soldiers came in to tour it, in uniform. That was some powerful stuff touring a POW museum along with young currently serving military. Plains was so charming, CW Naval Museum, FDR’s place and I really loved the Atlanta History Museum. The Swan House, a semi-historic Gilded Age mansion on the property was very cool and used in the Hunger Games films. And of course the wonderful Atlanta Botanical Gardens. There was a lot more we enjoyed. Your comment just took me down memory lane.

Emandi intends to probe the campaign’s financial records, as well as those of the PACs that supported it.

“In the relatively near future, I expect we will make the decision (whether) to go forward with prosecution on a case-by-case basis,” he said.

Someone putting the horse before the cart? Got out over his skis? Did he mean to say this part out loud?
