    1. ​@Baby drumphf Georgia peaches disappeared from Atlanta supermarkets about 5 years ago. Changing agricultural conditions from weather extremes may help explain why. Or, it was God’s Will and no action other than thoughts and prayers will bring them back. I can find Georgia peaches seasonally from small neighborhood farmers markets. They are DEVINE.

    2. Richard Reynolds Still far too many dummies in this nation. Far, far too many for the United States, assuming it’s really as great and exceptional as so many seem to say.

    3. Excuse me. And you don’t even know me. And to be calling pp! Dummies who you, don’t even know, is pathetic ppl! Even if your mother, or father was a Trump supporter, they would be a dummy! I feel sorry for them.

  1. Glad to know so many people aren’t taking medical or financial advice from politicians.

    1. See. People aren’t as stupid as msnbc think they are. Open up and let people make their own decisions. Not the government

    2. I haven’t locked down since the beginning. I stay safe but no politician can tell me fresh air, exercise and sunshine is going to make people sick. I live in Georgia and see all of these people making fun of us but we aren’t having major problems I see everywhere else. The same for Florida

    3. Georgia has 10 million+ people and has had 1700 covid deaths over 6+ months. Not really a pandemic in any sense of the word. There has been much worse catastrophies in the past and we didn’t shut a single thing down. Our politians did fail us. But only because these “medical professionals” did first. They have terrible advice and a lazy solution, based on faulty information that they are now walking back. Doctors are not leaders or economists. They have no idea of the implications of a shutdown. They are only giving medical advice

  2. I was starting to think Americans were completely bonkers….thank goodness self preservation has prevailed…stay well

    1. Maja-Danmark certainly November is not here yet and we get to boot that orange fool out of office. Get out of the CULT!

    2. People watch the news – local news. They r hearing about deaths in their states & counties… Not to mention they got no jobs to spend frivolously. The WH & republiKKKcon govs & ‘open states’meatheads don’t realize those facts😈

    1. @Crystal Giddens coronavirus panic is almost 100,000 deaths. And even people that recover from it will have lasting health issues.

  3. The people are smarter than their elected officials! Unsurprising, but this appears to be inverted with Trumpists ,however not by much.

    1. The people are smarter than msnbc also. All that fear mongering for nothing. Let the people decide

    2. @glersh nern I think you give “The people” way too much credit, It is clear we are in this mess because people were “Smarter” and voted with their “brain” instead of their basic instincts and insecurities, right? But the people should indeed decide even if there is interference and misinformation to prevent a smart choice, it has happened once and we have no reason to believe it will not happen again.

    3. @BVKaronte what mess? The 0.04% of American lives lost. Or the financial pain we are going to face?

  4. Sorry but sane people don’t take medical advice from career politicians who are clearly in it for only their own interest and who won’t stand up to incompetence and lies. In November Vote the Republican Senate out for all they have shown to us is cowardice. They deserve to be shamed and shunned.

    1. @vonsuthoff Well with Oboma let’s start with treason. Oboma was the head of Oboma gate which was a concerted plan to bring down the next President. Thru operation HAMMER( a CIA intelligence program to spy on any American citizen) he spied on the TRUMP pre- election committee. I believe it was FLYN ( it was a general) who went to Trump right after his inauguration and told him the Oval office and Trump towers was bugged. Thats when Trump said he was wired tapped and left for mar largo( the MSM said it was a lie) .This is all coming out and much more with the UNMASKING of Gen Flynn and his exoneration.. Oboma was also involved with the Clinton Foundation and laundering of funds. He also was complicit with Hillary and the botched bengazi disaster( he was involved with the removing of weapons with Hillary and sending to isis). He was directly involved with the 1.5 billion dollars in bibrary money sent to Iran. The money was sent on c-10 cargo plans on skids in CASH. He was also involved in pizzagate ( remember the $65000 for hot dogs sent to the White house) Hot dog is pedo lingo for little boys. This is just the tip of the iceberg.WHY WAS HE THE ONLY PRESIDENT AFTER OFFICE TO PURCHASE A HOME IN THE CENTER OF WASHINGTON???He thought he could continue his spy operation and stop TRUMP. IT FAILED.

    2. Shawn Aning you forgot to put on the aluminum version of the MAGA hat which can shield you from the science based facts coming from the liberal camp. Had Fauci been popping zits, would he qualify as a doctor in your book?

    3. dave fos we need a double layered aluminum MAGA hat in order to protect you from the conspiracy theories infiltrating your brain.

  5. Those who still insisted to vote Trump pls go out and boost the economy by spending your money

    1. @house karyl especially those severely overweight and over 70 years old highest risk of cardiac arrest…remind us of anyone?

    2. We will by working hard for our money that is earned, but for those who voted for Obama, or killsry, can still wait in the WELFARE LINES & CONTINUE TO BE LAZY and do nothing good for the rest of their lives, Period.

  6. People still have the final say! So if you want the economy to recover you must take care of the people!

    1. We do… sort of. If you’re familiar with “analytics” and the statistical modeling of Big Data our political leaders and captains of industry “tailor” messages for us. The Lincoln Project is doing that now against Trump but they’ve done it in the past against others. Chose the right phrase or word, provide the right image (Goldwater’s defeat) and many people give you an emotional response. Madison Avenue has done it for years. It’s more of a science now and manipulation of the “body politic” suggests that influence of the voter is corrupted.

    1. Every morning. Gov Cuomo leading us into the positive. California (LA) shut done to avoid becoming like NY. We are doing it right. California economy won’t stay this bad for long. NY and CA always lead.

      I won’t be going to restuarant or mall any time soon. I’ll cook my own meals and have enough stuff that I don’t need anything. Why? Because it’s just stuff. This pandemic has had a positive effect on my spending.

    2. Listening and looking at Honest (not perfect) Leadership from someone who listens to the Doctors & Scientist.😉

    1. @Willard Chi An empty stomach is a harsh reality, especially when the House prepared a bill to provide funding to people and the Senate won’t hear it and the President said he’d veto it.

    2. @M Light Yes all opinion is informed with input. If all you listen to is CNN and MSNBC you will only agree with the opinion of the companies. I prefer to fact check every time I hear reports. I prefer to listen to news from both sides. I read studies and research papers to also help shape my opinion. If you had only made it to 3rd grade how much information would you have? So yes as I wrote that I thought about how I come to my conclusions just as how I thought about how others come to theirs. It is obvious most people in these discussions on these clips from the news have not looked into what is being reported and only blindly follow. Here is an example:
      https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

    3. @Steve Flynn Probably true, Steve, if it’s ever normal again. We may have to change many aspects of the way we live, by the time this pandemic is over.

    4. @Shawn Aning The innuendo of my sources being solely left wing media and no research by respected investigators carries no weight. I’ve been tracking the cases & deaths from multiple sources, reading published medical articles and the President’s transcripts of his “press briefings”, watching videos by ER doctors saving people from advanced stages of Covid-19, and yes the blatant lies by most Fox show hosts and the bizarre conspiracy theories by many in the right wing media. I still conclude the negative ideas you are projecting are all about you.

    1. Face Off screws up and F’d up Orange clown who lies and manipulates and a P grabber 🤮🤮🤮🤮

  7. Its not only that Georgians have learned from other people’s mistake, its also that we sadly don’t trust and respect our leaders. Not gonna mention names

    1. Terry Jones What this country has is a bunch of Republicans that are traitors and enemies
      of democracy and should be removed.

    2. @FreePat 81 Dr fauchi s hands were tied by that lieing fk don trump so you can’t put all the blame on him .

    3. @SerenaPatterson preach im staying home also, I Don’t trust any politician playing with people’s life.

    1. Brian Kemp got a big truck, just in case he needs to clean up the piles of covid bodies and take ’em home himself. Yep, I just said that.

    1. Exactly. Texas opened for the “economy”. Desperate fir ppl to go out AND SPEND. F them. I’m not risking my family for a burger. FFS.

  8. Everyone should be staying home. When going out for supplies, wear a mask. We are responsible for *NOT* spreading the virus or catching it ourselves. The fed/ tRumpf regime govt nowadays cannot be trusted. It’s up to individuals.

    1. KarmicVibez No , every one should be getting back to work and school. Cowards like you should shut up and stay in your parent’s basement.

    2. @rolback So, many of you probably have started to notice some patterns. One of them is the use of the word COWARD. Someone will come out in support of the isolation and mitigation efforts, they will rationally support keeping it going until the curve is genuinely going down and then they get called: A COWARD. This has two parts to it. First, the opposing group of Trump cultist want to drive you from your sane and rational position backed up by the behaviors of billions of your fellow human beings and from the lessons of history. Second, the Trump Cultist are being told that THEY ARE BRAVE, strong, powerful, immune, it does’t matter anyways it is a hoax. So, when this cult starts using the word coward or hiders, etc, know that they are just trying to push you down and raise themselves up to justify their irrational positions as they adhere to the doctrine of the cult.

    3. @rolback You are protesting why? Your too poor and need a job to get out of your parent’s basement.
      In fact i would never hire anyone like you, you are a *LIABILITY RISK*.
      To add, it’s the entirety working as a whole, wearing masks, social distancing that helps.
      What is your tinfoil theory, son?

  9. Georgia’s residents are much smarter than their governor who’s more worried about suppressing black votes!

    1. FazzBroGaming 777 I’ve lost patients in two months than I’ve lost in 13 years of the medical field. It’s no hoax, get that out of your head please. Your way of thinking is dangerous to those with a weak immune system

    2. Anonymous Person no one is trying to order ya, but be responsible. Wear a mask, protect those who have a weak immune system

    3. @FazzBroGaming 777 On 5/16 the Republicans had a rally and truck parade in my little town.No social distancing and no masks.The county had 27 cases.Six days later there are 40 cases.Take your chances if you are young and robust….I’m 75 and I’m not taking taking any chances if I don’t have to.

  10. That was a long trip around the barn, but at least it included a comforting point: most people aren’t stupid enough to die for Trump.

  11. There is hope that there may actually be some form of intelligent life forms on this planet after all.

    1. No they didn’t! Kemp threw out 24k votes and then closed down Fulton County at noon. Stacey would have won.

    1. MenStrualNBC lies everyday
      and joe Scarborough murdered lori Klausutis
      when are the police going to reopen the cold case file of her murder.
      lori Klausutis dead body was found in joe office

    2. Public health experts being fired for not cooking the data, and oversight officials fired so Trump et al can break laws in secret — just another Tuesday in Trumpland
