A scandal is brewing in Georgia's Republican gubernatorial primary, with candidate and former Sen. David Perdue accusing incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp of engaging in shady backroom deals and lining the pockets of liberal megadonor George Soros as part of a massive new economic development project in the Peach State.

Can’t we wait for Kemp’s rebuttal before we call him a crook?

Radio host John Fredericks had some positive news on Perdue this morning. He claims he’s really gaining on Kemp. I’d like to see DJT make one last Georgia stop.

So I went looking for how Rivian was tied to Soros and found this...
“Soros bought nearly 20 million shares in Rivian Inc., worth about $2 billion, in late 2021. That made Soros Fund Management among the top investors in the electric vehicle manufacturer, Reuters reported. Other major investors include Amazon.com Inc., Cox Communications and Ford.”

This explains why there was so much Hydrogen funding in the infrastructure bill. Because it benefits Soros.

After watching 2000 Mules this weekend, attack ads are begging to developed attacking Kemp and Raffensberger for all the fraud in the 2020 election.

Not only did it cost Trump the State, it cost Georgia both Senate Seats.

The State of Georgia and their GBI had all the information about the fraud last summer and did nothing with it and in fact tried to hinder any investigation into voter fraud.

I am afraid to tell you but this ‘is’ the real Perdue and what to expect when he is in office.

Vote Kandiss!

I don’t know if Perdue is getting a little desperate or not, but I am reasonably sure that is the way government normally “does business”.
Paying top dollar for land owned by the right people is one way and a time honored way of rewarding your friends & supporters.
Giving tax incentives to very deep pocket ‘investors’ in private enterprise is another.

Yeah, it sounds to me like Perdue is clutching at straws.

The two aren’t linked.

Nasdaq is down.

Tech is down.

Electric Vehicle companies are down.

Ford owned 102M shares in Rivian last week. Sold 8M.

Amazon owns 180M shares in Rivian.

Soros purchased 20M Rivian shares around Valentines Day 2022.

There is no scandal.

The incentives for the Rivian factory in Georgia are similar to other automotive factory incentives.

Probably too late to stop Kemp. The rats stole the POTUS and the Senate through Georgia and we didn’t need a movie to know it. The GOP did nothing. The same scumbags are running the primary and the general. I don’t have much hope.

It’s a lot for an unproven company that is tanking and may be unsuccessful.

If it was a more successful company like Toyota making a deal to make trucks in Texas, then that would be a different.

Perhaps, but from what I heard today on Steve Bannon’s War Room, if Kemp doesn’t get 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff, if that happens all bets are off and as of right now, it’s a tossup if Kemp gets to 50%

No waiting. He was already a crook. Remember the 100 million $ no-bid contract he let to Dominion for voting machines for the 2016 election? Nothing crooked about that. No Sirree. Never mind that it was illegal by the state’s own rules. The no-bid part is the sort of thing that generates biggish kickbacks.

How does Kemp get his lead in the polls other than through dirty dealing to hustle and buy the voters.

The slickest politician since “Slick Willie” of Arkansas but now he’s got an R next to his name.

Kemp is a hustler he’s cutting taxes deliberately to buy votes ahead of the primary.

Just happened to sign the legislation the other week in Perdue’s home turf.

I will never forget sleazy Kemp, showing up at the White House Christmas dinner to mock Trump.

I have been feeling bad about missing out on getting a Rivian. There is a 2-3 year wait now. I didn’t realize Simon Barsinister’s evil twin George Soros is heavily invested. Thank goodness I didn’t get one. Evil SOB!!
