Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced on Twitter Thursday that the state would be allowing certain businesses to reopen for limited operation, in light of encouraging data concerning the novel coronavirus.
Kemp, a Republican, made the announcement despite vocal opposition from President Trump, who said he disagreed with the decision but "at the same time he must do what he thinks is right."
"For weeks now, my team has worked closely with the Trump Administration and our federal counterparts to mitigate the impact of #coronavirus in Georgia. Our decisions and direction are informed by data and public health recommendations," he began.

‘That story has little information but makes sure to let everyone know that President Trump does not agree with Governor Kemp’
I think Trump himself let everyone know that he does not agree, by saying several times on national TV; ‘I am not happy with Brian Kemp...’
What a novel, but 20th century concept!
Trump’s statement on this yesterday reminded me of his appearances on WWE. Over the top and staged. I’m starting to think the reverse psychology theory is in play. Act like I hate this and then wait for Democrats to start doing the opposite.
Bingo I agree. The Democrats\Media don't know what to do with this one. They don't see Kemp as real meat to tear apart on the national stage. He's a small time player. I can hear them in that news conference..."Wait whaaaat you are against it, um why, huh, wait...". Kemp will support Trump in November. Nice try media..lose again. I just love all the winning.
It’s an act, and a good one...PDJT can spare the political capital in “being wrong” on Kemp opening economy. PDJT likely let him know...then, no one can say PDJT told Kemp to open...then PDJT later can say, I guess it was ok to open...then a trend starts...open...open...open
“charges” ??
Would think the main concern is with barbers, hair salons, tattoo parlors. Places the strictest isolationists might never let open. Hard to have any of those services performed from 6’. Good to get those started open to just eliminate a potential issue. Even the great Dr. Scarf struggled with a question on such places earlier in the week.
Kemp is Mikey in that Life Cereal commercial.
“I’m not gonna try it. You try it.”
“I’m not gonna try it.”
” He likes it! Hey Mikey... “
Georgia reopen without disaster will open the floodgates.
‘Bingo I agree. The Democrats\Media don’t know what to do with this one.’
you guys ought to go into the toy industry; you’d make the finest spinning tops the world has ever seen...
Good point. Scarf did not oppose and even Fauci’s criticism was muted. I think they’ve seen the protests and realize that like it or not the clock is going to run out on mitigation.
Trump’s 10th. Amendment baiting of the governors had a similar WWE quality to it.
‘Georgia reopen without disaster will open the floodgates.’
don’t tell us; tell the president...
‘Trump’s 10th. Amendment baiting of the governors had a similar WWE quality to it.’
so you truly believe that Trump publicly berates a political ally on national TV, which is something I think other allied governors would like not to happen to them, simply in order to play with democrat heads...? you really don’t think Trump’s actions were genuine, born of his well publicized germiphobia...? it’s beginning to look like if Trump gets his way, those businesses would be the last to open, if ever, regardless of the fact that millions of people frequent these places, and local economies thrive with them as part of the commercial scene...
Maybe it’s all as simple as the Governor grew tired of the Mrs.’ cooking and listening to her go on about her figure, hairdo, and other girl kinda stuff.
Years ago my sister met Rush Limbaugh.
He was very cordial but would not shake hands with her. Would not shake hands with anyone. She was stunned to discover that Rush was a germophobe.
Yet no one has been more vocal that the shutdown needs to end now.
Don’t take every word coming out of someone’s mouths at face value is all I’m saying. Nor do people always allow their own foibles to dominate their political views.
Kemp is a fool and should probably be removed from office in order to save lives and the economy.
If he praised Kemp and it backfired, the Fake News frenzy would be humongous...
It gives Trump political cover. It’s a no-lose position. Trump wants the states to reopen asap but doesn’t want the blame if there is a China virus spike
