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.
How many kids need to get shot and killed in school before we talk about safety or policy?
If thoughts and prayers worked Republicans and conservatives wouldn't exist anymore
How many kids need to get shot and killed in school before we talk about safety or policy?The bigger the tragedy, the 'greater amount of time needed' before we can talk about it.
I assumed that this topic was using sarcasm but nope it is real.I thought about making his quote the Onion
And then tomorrow won't be the day to talk about it either. Or the day after that, or the day after that, etc.
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

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

How many kids need to get shot and killed in school before we talk about safety or policy?As long as their own kids are safe.

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

if it didn't happen after Sandy Hook or Uvalde, it never will as long as modern Republicans exist

He could say they'll get right to work on policy. But that will never happen.Which is exactly what everyone would have pointed out if he'd said that

Even just "we'll talk about it in a few days."That would be a much more reasonable answer, yes
People want immediate answers but there aren't immediate answers to give.
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.
