After pushing for Governors to cut back virus generated restrictions?
The Georgia Governor comes out and says he’ll reopen his state’s retail stores…
The media blowback is swift and immediate …
NOOOOOOO!….No so fast for EVERYTHING!
Polling is also NOOOOO…No so fast for EVERYTHING!
So?
President Trump has now changed directions and is saying he’s NOT behind Georgia Gov. Kemp’s decision…
Surprised ?
You shouldn’t be…
This was coming from the jump…
Donald J. Trump does NOT take responsibility for ANYTHING…
Kemp is open his own before the virus numbers come in for the next few weeks…
Low or no spike means Trump will claim HE did the right thing….
Big spike new infections means Trump was right in disowning the guy…
Being a Governor these days ain’t fun job….
President Trump said he told Gov. Brian Kemp (R) he “totally” disagreed with his decision to roll back coronavirus restrictions and allow shuttered businesses such as nail salons and barber shops to reopen this week, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
Said Trump: “So do I agree with him? No. But I respect him and I’ll let him make his decision. Would I do that? No. I want to protect people’s lives. But I’m going to let him to make his decision. But I told him I totally disagree.”
He added: “They can wait a little bit longer. Safety has to predominate.”

Kemp has not backed down yet.
Indeed, he said he talked with Trump and told him he was still proceeding as planned.

Meanwhile these dopes protesting to open everything up immediately keep waving Trump signs.

The true mark of a Cult.
Whatever the Leader says or does,even if it totally contradicts what he said or did even a hour ago becomes the “gospel.”
They are a sad bunch.
The tragedy is they are so full of some indefinable rage they are blind to what they have become…
“Useful idiots.”

With the U.S. coronavirus death toll topping 50,000, Georgia, Oklahoma and a handful of other states took the first tentative steps at reopening for business on Friday, despite the disapproval of President Donald Trump and health experts.
Gyms, hair salons, tattoo parlors and some other businesses were allowed to open their doors by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who disregarded warnings from public health officials that relaxing restrictions could lead to more infections and deaths….
More…

A demonstration by several hundred Republicans took place in Columbia S.C. today demanding that the state be “reopened.”
Republican Governor Henry McMaster has authorized some minor reopenings;however, unlike neighboring Georgia, he has not opened restaurants, barber shops, salons etc.
Many of the participants when interviewed,(many were holding Trump signs) when reminded that they seemed to be protesting Trumps own policies , opined that “Democrats”:and the “media” has “forced “ Trump to order those policies.
That Trump!Such a wimp!

Your state has company on the political based protests and the beginnings of restriction rollbacks…
How is testing in ur state?
My Name Is Jack says
They’ve done around 45000 tests.
The State Health Department estimates that there are around 35000 infections, although confirmed cases are only a little over 5000.
There have bern 159 deaths.
jamesb says
More testing!
Slow openenings!
My Name Is Jack says
S.C. infections may have leveled off with 160 new cases reported today .New daily infections have been around 160 this past week.
159 have died.59% were Black.The State population is around 30% Black.
jamesb says
NY numbers are disproportionately black and of course older folks…
My guess is Cuomo will be relaxing a few things next week..But nothing to too much until he gets deaths below 250-300…
The average normal numbers vary but are 150-200 a day…
NY numbers dropping bring the national numbers down…
California IS a hot mess
Their numbers have climbed seemingly because their testing was way off..
This while more beaches open..
