#BREAKING: President Trump says that he told Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp that he disagrees "strongly" with his decision to open up certain businesses at the end of this week. #gapol #Coronavirus

I think will make all other rep governors think long and hard about opening up

I was thinking about voting for him this time to keep biden out, but its back to my default of voting for Ron Paul

It appears Mr Kemp is not backing down and going ahead with reopening state businesses as announced.

Are you aware you created a fake news thread?

Trump said he disagreed with him, but he would let him do whatever he wants. But he only disagreed with him on letting tattoo parlors and salons open up in phase 1, he did not say he disagreed with opening up businesses in general.

Trump has continually let governors do whatever they want and is encouraging America to open up, but also to watch closely as they do.

No mandates have come down from the Federal Govt, they have only released guidelines.

You are so far off the rails, what do you do watch CNN all day or something? Do you also think Trump told people to drink bleach and inject lysol?

More than 120 Atlanta restaurants refuse to open despite Georgia Gov Kemp lifting stay-at-home orders

Chefs and restaurateurs have signed onto the #GAHospitalityTogether initiative, saying they will not reopen dining rooms until it’s safe.

Story at a glance

• The group published an ad in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, stating it’s in everyone’s best interest to keep dining rooms closed at this time.
• Georgia has allowed businesses to open with some restrictions.
• The state reported 1,000 new cases Friday.

More than 120 restaurants in Atlanta are refusing to open their dining rooms to patrons until they believe it’s safe, despite Georgia’s decision to allow restaurants and other businesses to start reopening this week amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Chefs and restaurant owners have come together to pushback against the state law allowing restaurant dining rooms to reopen with some restrictions, forming the “#GAHospitalityTogether” initiative. The group includes award-winning chefs Ford Fry, Anne Quatrano, Hugh Acheson and Mashama Bailey.

“We agree that it’s in the best interest of our employees, our guests, our community and our industry to keep our dining rooms closed at this time,” a statement from the group published in an ad in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reads. “Recognizing that each operator faces incredibly difficult decisions on the path ahead, we affirm the fact that public safety is the top priority as we navigate this challenge. These uncommon times call for uncommon leadership. We stand united in our resolve to emerge stronger, safer and more steadfast than before.”
The ad bears the name of each restaurateur with their place or places of business.
Fred Castellucci, CEO of Castellucci Hospitality Group, is one of the restaurant owners spearheading the initiative, and says the decision to remain closed was difficult, according to Business Insider.
“It’s what we feel is best for the safety and health of our restaurants, our teams and our customers right now, and as we see cases drop to a low enough number, we’ll evaluate the risk factors and begin to implement our reopening plans,” Castelluci told Business Insider.
Georgia’s guidelines require restaurants to operate at 50 percent capacity if they do decide to open their dining rooms up to restaurant goers.

Best time to organize a tax revolt. And nearer to my heart, a regulation revolt.

There's enough affected people to just walk off and have their own economy. Don't deal with the fascists.

Thats the beauty of Kemp's unlocking. No one is forced to open. Let the black businesses go down completely if they want.

Ted Cruz gets haircut at salon whose owner flouted lockdown orders

Even though there were some past tensions between the two and harsh words exchanged during 2016 primary season, lately there have been no reports of political rivalry between Ted Cruz and Trump. This apparent overt support for a business that was recently cited for violation of phased reopening of state businesses based on President/VP led Coronavirus Task Force guidelines could be just a coincidence :






Ted Cruz gets haircut at salon whose owner flouted orders

• 28 min ago

DALLAS (AP) — Republican Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday got his hair cut at a Dallas salon that became a rallying cry for conservative protests against coronavirus lockdown orders in Texas after the owner refused to shut down and ultimately went to jail.

Cruz, who spent two weeks in self-isolation in March after saying he came into contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19, said he flew up from Houston to get his first haircut in three months at Salon à la Mode. He did so one day after its owner, Shelley Luther, walked out of jail after a court ordered her released.

Luther spent less than 48 hours behind bars after a Dallas judge sentenced her to a week in jail for defying Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's emergency orders that did not allow hair salons to reopen yet. Abbott had said violators of his coronavirus orders could face up to 180 days in jail, but he rushed to Luther's defense Thursday and stripped his order of jail as a possible punishment for flouting the virus restrictions.

Cruz called Luther's punishment “ridiculous” but sidestepped questions about what might have been an appropriate penalty for her for violating an order, The Dallas Morning News reported. The judge only sent her to jail after she refused to apologize for disobeying the order and said she would continue to do so.

Why Trump went off on Brian Kemp

One of the more surprising recent political moments was when President Trump publicly lambasted Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. It's rare — and politically damaging — for a Republican official to get steamrolled the way Kemp did last week.

Trump’s coronavirus rift with Kemp puts Georgia Republicans in a tough spot
Many other GOP officials were conspicuously unwilling to wade into the high-stakes row after Trump said he “totally disagreed” with Kemp’s decision to let barber shops, tattoo parlors and other businesses reopen Friday if they followed safety measures.

Cruz looks like a freak

[sparebulb]

Cruz didn't have the balz to participate in her activities before she was cut loose by the 'gubmint.

Raphael is a me-too opportunistic whore.

No real balz.

Cruz looks like a freak

He might not have done any camera testing before going public with it.

In case of some other more media savvy politicians, it doesn't look as non-alpha.

This Lew Rockwell article posted in WN is the kind of dangerous criticism that can completely sink GOPA wing in 2020 if views like these continue to spread among people as they are currently:

Criticism like this seems way too harsh , few details in MSM so far. Still not convinced that current POTUS will be remebered in history as as Lockdown King.

Trying to confirm connection between OP news and this stunning GA development:

BIDEN +7 GA
Quote:
It’s been nearly three decades since a Democrat carried Georgia in a presidential election. You’ve got to go back to 1992, when then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton won the state.
President George W. Bush trounced Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry by 17 points in Georgia in the 2004 election, but Republican margins have been narrowing since then, and Trump topped Clinton by just five points in 2016.
“Warning lights are blinking red and alarms are going off in the Peach Tree state,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said.
But other public opinion polling conducted in Georgia this month shows a much closer contest between Biden and the president.
