“These men and women are doing their very best to put food on the table for their families while local elected officials are trying to keep people alive. How dare they think the lives of citizens more important than commerce."

Wow. Doubling down on stupid. And his reasoning about businesses makes no logical sense. I do hope the Georgia courts are better than this.

This seems questionable even on its face but since his ‘executive action’ in this case puts lives at risk it seems double so. IANAL but I just don’t see how this can fly.

That aside, I would not be unhappy if Kemp became seriously ill in the near future, maybe enough to put him a ventilator. The man is trash.

Gov Kemp got his degree in diplomacy from Trump University.

Georgia courts are full of reactionaries, there are some that would make Roy Moore look like a Jacobin.

I am repeating myself, but again, Kemp, like Trump, enjoys being an asshole.

The Governor of fucking Arkansas, a place where people inbreed, said today everyone must wear a mask. The Governor of Georgia, with the largest urban area in the deep south, and one of the more educated work forces (not sure if NC is more education) in the entire south is going to die on the hill of “don’t wear a mask”

What this is is David Purdue and Kelly “insider trading” Laugher/Doug Collins not being in the senate come 2021.

The only person who this will really make happy is Majority Leader to be Chuck Schumer, who is right now wondering if he can make MoscowMitch go to a closet if KY reelects him.

Hard to believe this is the same nation that fought WWII…perhaps even harder to wrap one’s head around that the irony that it’s that generation’s self-centered douchebag children who decided to ruin us.

Just imagine, if all the votes had been counted, Stacey Abrams would be GA Gov. today, not “Kemp the Tool.”

If this idiot Governor can get away with bigfooting a mayor, then I can’t wait until President Biden bigfoots this mother-fucker. Of course, he’ll sue about that too, by making the opposite arguments.

Kemp is obviously a sociopath. That’s the only explanation.

Kemp is a corrupt f*****g moron. Perfect for the inbred trailer trash that makes up the most of Georgia.
