Georgia says yay to killing their residents with COVID. Oh my! What a surprise...




Starting Friday in Georgia, you can go to gyms, get your nails done or hair styled. You’re welcome to preplan your funeral, and choose your plague. *Locusts sold separately.


All sensible states should stop people from Georgia accessing their space. Let all these red states drown in their own lung fluids.

It's as if it's Halloween and they get to play dress up. Unfortunately, I assume the weapons are real.

JFC, where do these people come from? Seriously? Please go back to your Mom's basement and your video games. We'll even buy you some Oxy so you can stay down there for a while.

corner. Remembering when the rwnj-s used to scream about someone wearing the flag, or using it in protest. But, apparently it is patriotic for them to use the flag as clothing and accessories (guessing they never read flag protocol).

4. Presumably employers will be firing anyone who declines to come back to work at said gyms

and salons, etc, due to the danger that still exists (assuming they're not all already fired)?

That's ... flippin' awesome.

Hey, maybe they can cancel the UI benefits of the people they fired if they're invited back to work, but decline, too?

How sweet would that be?

deaths by his delayed and continued and bungling response to the virus, Georgia's citizens will get an additional jolt of stupidity from Kemp's foolish decision to open up many businesses despite a paucity of virus testing, not to mention no contact tracing.

...but I always wonder why we comfortably call these republicans "stupid" and other pedantic names like "morons".

These actions are actually "cruel" and "hateful". As a matter of fact, Red State governors are the opposite of stupid. I think this "opening" of the governments are calculated and serves towards a long term agenda of maintaining power.

states on planes and start more outbreaks. 15 airline employees have died from COVID between Apr. 5th -13th. This will be a disaster.

Personally I think we should have done that in MI already. Only essential travel in or out.

10. I wish we'd do it here in North Carolina. Our biggest city, Charlotte, sits on the border with SC
