And prayers."

Governor Kemp refuses to answer a question about how to make Georgia schools safer from gun violence: This is not the day to talk about safety or policy. We need thoughts and prayers for the victims, law enforcement and educators.

Absolute bellend clown of a pathetic mother fucker.

Of course today isn't the day. Because the day you would actually make serious attempts to address gun safety and gun policy is the day your political career comes careening to a crashing blaze.

You care more about your political position and power than the lives of your fucking constituents. Instead of doing the right thing for your citizenry, you maintain a politically advantageous status quo because you're a greedy, power hungry shit stain more concerned with what makes you look good than being an actual fucking leader.

How many kids need to get shot and killed in school before we talk about safety or policy?

republicans like to make these meaningless platitudes to "show that they care", have some kind of moral high ground, while ultimately not doing anything.

As long as Republicans have any say in the matter that number is infinity

I suppose it would be in bad taste to make a Zoolander meme out of this. "The other day, I was sending thoughts and prayers to victims of school shootings. And just thinking and praying about it was the most rewarding experience I've ever had!"

Anyway, the Lord helps those who help themselves, Kemp.
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.
He actually said the line. Impressive lack of self awareness.

Funny thing is (and these people are aware) that this happens so frequently that it's never the right time for policy. How convenient.

The bigger the tragedy, the 'greater amount of time needed' before we can talk about it.

But if its just one kid that gets killed, then "well it isn't worth limiting rights over one person's lost life"
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.
Trying to make the people who actually want to do something about kids being slaughtered look like they are the ones being insensitive.

Despicable, sanctimonious, piece of shit.

Also, its kinda fucked up they want ' thoughts and prayers' when the thoughts part should be going toward thinking about how we can address this and stop this from happening so often it is basically routine

They don't even want (unapproved) thoughts. they just want prayers.
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.
Literally saying we need thoughts and prayers and nothing else. What an asshole.

lol what? when bad things happen that you no longer want to happen, it's the perfect time to talk about what you'll do to stop it from happening (which would be the policies).

seriously, what?

Obviously the thoughts and prayers thing is a stupid answer, but also it kind of seems stupid to ask him this question the literal day of the tragedy, like he's supposed to come up with a comprehensive plan right there on the spot. Like what could he possibly say that isn't just going to be hollow words

I think it is the perfect time. These people care more about their guns rights than they do their wives and daughters rights. So when a bunch of kids are killed by guns hold their feet to the fire and ask the hard questions and make them squirm.

Don't give this fucker the benefit of the doubt, the fuck is wrong with you?

For people like him it's never time to talk about it. And there's no more hollow words than "thoughts and prayers" and literally anything else would have been better.
I wonder if he has any idea he's just a parody of himself by literally saying "thoughts and prayers"

I agree, he shouldn't be coming up with a plan on the spot.

He should have been implementing one throughout his term in office. Utter neglect of duty/responsibility. This is hardly a problem out of nowhere.

I don't disagree with you, however it doesn't really change how I feel about it. People want immediate answers but there aren't immediate answers to give. Any possible solution is going to come from a lot of debate and legislation, not by asking what this one guy plans to do in the immediate aftermath. There was not a correct answer to this question

Maybe if he had been thinking about doing something in the wake of any of the other countless school shootings that wouldn't be problem.

There may not have been a correct answer, but "thoughts and prayers" is pretty much the worst possible answer, and giving this shithead the benefit of the doubt on it is incredibly suspect.

That debate and legislation will never happen because of fuckers like this, don't defend him.

I already acknowledged that it was a stupid answer, and I don't think I'm giving him any benefit of a doubt by criticizing the question too. It was a pointless question that he answered poorly

He could say they'll get right to work on policy. But that will never happen.

He could say literally anything else. ANYTHING. Even just "we'll talk about it in a few days."

But saying "don't make it political this is a time for mourning." is in inexcusable stance to hold after DOZENS of shootings and HUNDREDS of dead children.

Kemp should, charitably, be impeached.

It isnt like this is the 1st time a school/mass shooting has happened, and it certainly wont be the last. Mass shootings happen way too frequently in the US. Theyve had plenty of time to brainstorm ways to prevent this, or at the very least make it so that these shootings happen significantly less frequently.

They dont actually use any of that time to try to find solutions though. Its always Thoughts and prayers day 1, followed by their NRA buddies giving them a pay check to conveniently forget about what just happened, which they gladly accept.
As a teacher, I have no respect for Governor Kemp.

I don't live in GA, but I would never teach there knowing this is his response.

Bruh, fucking what? This shit has been going on since the 90s. How the fuck is that wanting an immediate answer? It's the exact opposite of that.

Not to mention every other first world country seems capable of giving an immediate answer to a mass shooting.
