Kemp is killing Georgias. He has to go.

maggieNYT Dumb white man lost to smart black woman.

maggieNYT Gov. Kemp chose DJT over the people of Georgia. The Trump school policies are failing yet Kemp continues to carry the MAGa flag. Teachers and students in large numbers have tested positive for Covid. How long before the Gov. wakes up to the Trump hoax?

He should withdraw himself.

maggieNYT Why? He doesn’t want to open himself up to negligent homicide charges?

UROCKlive1 Mighty white of him.

UROCKlive1 Ah! I guess his head on a spike didn’t appeal to him.

maggieNYT I’m not a violent man so this doesn’t really matter, but why are their faces all so punchable?

He’s an idiot to start with lawsuits.

Does he always look like a cooked ham?

Kemp stole his election. He’s crooked, stupid and corrupt.

maggieNYT THIS guy, cheated his way into the governorship, and recklessly ignored all medical guidelines for his constituents in order to suck up to Trump's desire to pretend this virus away.

Definitely, because she's a woman. Kemp wants women who are subservient not smarter not outspoken.

maggieNYT What a stupid thing to have even considered

What. A. Tool. An order 'against ' safeguards?! Who does that!?

I am a moron and I have an issue if those around me aren't morons.

George Floyd got 348723 funerals, a gold casket, a mural with MLK Jr and Malcolm X, and a folded flag. What will Cannon Hinnant get?

He should pay court costs.

maggieNYT More taxpayer funds used wisely.

maggieNYT Jackass

maggieNYT Hahahahaha

Kemp is the one who should be worried about law suits.

as it to say, i was wrong but I can't say I was wrong. my voters would tear me apart.
