Another Trump campaign speech, this time in Georgia because it's infrastructure week again in 1952
Trump went to another COVID “hotspot” and gave an infrastructure speech because it's that week again. CNN and MSNBC had the good taste not to broadcast it. Trump wore no mask, in violation of Atlanta policy. Strange how only GOP governors void local mask mandates, not coincidentally they have higher COVID rates. x The deaths…
AZ & GA-Sen B: NYT, “Republican Senators in Arizona and Georgia Have a Problem: The Base”
From The New York Times: As Representative Doug Collins went booth to booth at a recent Republican jamboree in northeast Georgia’s Rabun County, he was a hero, not an insurgent.

Georgia officers held 5 black young teenagers going through a neighborhood at gunpoint.
Here we go again. Police officers decided to hold young teenagers at gunpoint as they walk through a Georgia neighborhood. See the entire episode here.

I told you Georgia was dumber than Florida and Florida is pretty dumb.
Many here and other liberal sites always believed Georgia was going to go blue. I don’t think so. I hoped so but with that idiot governor Kemp in the statehouse, I don’t see it. I am a Georgia native and not a proud one but I am one still the same. The Florida beaches opening…
