    It’s like nobody ready the article. It says she’s considering challenging Kemp in a primary for Georgia Governor because he’s not defending Trump.

    Edit: apparently I can read better - she wants to run against Kemp in the primary when he runs for Senate, not Governor.

      But Kemp’s serving his second term as Governor. He can’t run again unless he waits 4 years after he’s out of office. Which will be in 2026. EmptyG would have a whole another term as a congresswoman before we vote on the governor

      I also didn’t read the article, but are you sure that’s what it said?

          It’s all good. I think the bot kind of messed up the summary too.

          If he does run for senate, I’ll do my best to keep him out. We’ve got two great senators right now, I don’t think he can beat either one. But who knows, it’s all going to come down to messaging.

        Goddamn I hope she runs for gov.

        Kemp is term-limited. He has to sit out from the office for the next term before he can run again, which means he’ll probably seek some other office in the meantime. And whatever he runs for he’s almost certain to get.

        People talk about GA being a swing state, but it fucking isn’t. MAGA doesn’t do great statewide, but the GOP has near total control with little contest.

        MTG on the ticket is EXACTLY what the GA Dems need to make some serious inroads in statewide elections.

        That’s a misread of the article/summary. It’s saying that Kemp (the current GA governor) is talking about a Senate run and MTG would challenge him in a primary for the GOP Senate nomination.

          Yeah, somehow I don’t think she’s actually stupid enough to run for governor where she’d actually have to handle anything significant or within this realm of reality. Congressional troll or VP-hype-troll is a better fit for her.

        At least Pence had the decency to stand up to Trump and finalize the votes. I mean he drew the line in the sand just before committing treason, but he at least drew it somewhere. Can’t say the same for a lot of other Republicans right now.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
