Me and the wife (mostly her lol) had it out with a Best Buy employee yesterday in Kennesaw. He said we couldn’t shop there without a mask on. After some discussion we just left. So ridiculous.


Why are you taking it out on some $9 an hour employee? Did you feel better about yourself afterward, that you bullied some kid, and STILL didn't get your way?

If you want to vent frustration, be a man and show up at the Best Buy Corp Office and demand to speak to the CEO. Please have your wife video this (or you can video it, since your wife has the balls and all) and post it on here for all of us to see.

Georgia and Arizona are about the only two real Red states left, you see how we deal with the filth over here. If you want America back, others should follow suit.

I am also 100 percent opposed to Kemp's ban of local mandates. If a local government (city, or in an unincorporated area, county) wants to have a mandate, that should be their choice. If someone disagrees with it, that's why we have elections on a recurring basis.


The problem with this is one stance is not like the other. This second stance of yours that you oppose recognizes constitutionally protected rights that SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED UPON. That means that no government at any level in this country can infringe upon them regardless of the amount of public support.

When we removed restrictions, guess what, the curve started going up again.


False. The curve was with respect to hospitalizations. The curve did not go up again.

I'm not 100 percent sure that a mask mandate goes against the constitution. However, if it does, that's for the court system to figure out, not the governor. The governor is not the court system.

I'm not an expert on Georgia state law, so I wonder if the Governor even has the constitutional authority to ban a city or country from doing something. Many states have very weak governors, legally.

Where are hospitalizations not going up? In Louisiana, they haven't re-hit their peak, but they are well above their bottom.

The part that I think has to come from Governor or Feds is when anyone violates our individual rights. I think forcing people to wear something is dangerously over the line.

Geezus...the judicial branch is not the only branch responsible for protecting constitutionally protected rights.

You have some cognitive dissonance you need to deal with.

Everywhere is above the bottom because non-essential services opened back up. Hospitals are treating regular patients again.

Walmart and Kroger will now require masks. So Publix it is! I’m sure they aren’t far behind though. Then off to Aldi. If they require masks then we also have membership to Restaurant Depot. Then we’ll go to Mexican Supermercado’s. And Farmers markets. Avoid masks as long as we can.


Even if you don't believe in the efficacy of masks, you sound like you're spending 10x the effort to avoid them. That seems not worth it.

Those who don't exercise their rights lose them.

Whether it can be an EO or has to be a legislative act is one thing, but the government can definitely make you wear things, at least in public. You wanna try walking down the street hanging brain and see how long it takes to end up in a squad car?

GA hospitalizations are above their April peak, as of this week. This was a bad week for Kemp to take this stand, politically. Let the downvotes rain upon me, but know I voted for Kemp and will again, I support him, but don't have to agree with him 100%.

Actually, no. My stances are consistent, and don't change with the party in charge.

Correct, but they ARE the final arbiter in determining what is, and what is not, a constitutionally protected right. A US state governor certainly doesn't have the authority to make that call.

We didn’t bully or berate anybody, you sensitive bitch. We stated our position (which is our right) and left. There were no cameras recording a Karen moment because they’re wasn’t one. A lot of sandy vaginas on here. My wife and I refuse to bend over for a scam. And?????? Since we don’t want to conform to you idiots communist, take it up the rear agendas, that makes us bad people? Hilarious.
