What the hell is Brian Kemp doing in Davos???

[@R1GAMBLER]

getting "penetrated" by Klaus

[@bentrinker1937]

Being based! Go kemp!

[@tdub18914]

Taxpayer-funded vacation

[@conniemaschera7019]

That's a damn good question.

[@debraboutwell6167]

He's trying get business in Geaorgua if you'd pay attention

[@anarchistgreg4689]

It isn't his State to sell

[@daveyxe]

Don’t worry, regardless of what the taxpayer wants, kemp is going to sell out Georgia !

[@jakecb6396]

Selling Georgia to Who?

[@handfloboxingreview1673]

Klaus and the globalist elites.

[@wolfkingsigma2795]

satanists, like schwab and gates.

[@AlchemistAugen]

Companies owned by other countries.

[@caiusmadison2996]

The WEF, that's Davos.

[@R1GAMBLER]

☝🏻 WEF installed stooge.

[@bentrinker1937]

Someone’s big mad!

[@turbosam4328]

Kemp, GA called and said it's time to come home and take care of business. Your wife needs to look into the school systems in Cobb and Fulton Co and let you know so it can be cleaned up. South GA said they need help in getting companies to come into their areas instead of it all going to north GA. Vacation is over.

[@Terri2B]

He’s trying to sell your babies! FOR PROFIT PRISONS ARE ABOUT TO GET BIGGER!!

[@scottreidy9520]

He's going to wreck his state with this ev nonsense

[@dixienormous8889]

So is America awake yet 😏

[@aztecanorteamericano2741]

LoL no read the comments nothing but sheeple 🐑🤦

[@Terri2B]

He will be home soon Georgia! Treason is VERY VERY REAL!

[@galaxiaspenjhonson9170]

These uber rich just made fun of Kemp the whole time. He was the joke of the ball!

[@Scott-tm9ml]

Kemp can't be worse than Pritzker

[@herrwahnsinn4229]

He looks guilty as sin, 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@mikejeffreys1059]

Sell out your state more likely

[@bentrinker1937]

Notta chance! Most of ur fav movies have been filmed here in ga and now we’re gonna be making evs like nobody’s business.

[@robertfox499]

@@bentrinker1937 Wow! Is that all because the governor intended to go to DAVOS? What utter BS.

[@bentrinker1937]

@@robertfox499 no? I live in ga and voted for kemp in the primary and general. He’s been a great governor! I don’t like the abortion stuff or the permit-less carry.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

@@bentrinker1937 What are they doing with the waste from that EV manufacturing? You know it costs more in energy to make just the batteries for them them than it does standard batteries, right? There's also no plan for the end of life on those batteries, which have 180% of the mass of standard auto batteries for disposal.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

@@robertfox499 It's a bit more than intention. He's there and spoke on at least one panel.. today.

[@aioncrypto974]

No truer words where ever spoken. He is there to sell the state of Georgia

[@jakep9610]

Can't wait until he's out of office in 2027.

[@BP-vr3rt]

Wow, you'll be wating a while.

[@bentrinker1937]

Hes been great and making our state the ev capital of the world. We have battery plants ev manufacturing. GO DAWGS!

[@debraboutwell6167]

He's trying to get businesses here but this EV I haven't heard that.

[@AlchemistAugen]

@@debraboutwell6167 Yes. He just destroyed thousands of acres of our trees and shutting out businesses and homeowners in our small town to put an electric vehicle battery plant in our tiny town. The people happy about it don't live here.

[@Peachy08]

Yes you were disparaging Georgia.

[@galaxiaspenjhonson9170]

"What are you doing here?" Kemp owes more money than he has.

[@terriberry1721]

Not anymore! He just sold Georgia as slaves to Nazis!

[@ctwatcher]

When asked about the suffering of the GA people as he lays in a luxury villa doing who knows what with all those hooking masters did he run to his room to shower off the commoner?

[@patrickthompson3907]

You cant call not spending tax dollars on GA’s weak spots like healthcare, education, and transportation just conservative spending while handing out tax breaks like candy to large companies and industries…this is tragic as he and his team parties in davos while GA suffers…please take his mic away…

[@AnnAnn-il2lk]

This is the man need to be out of office trust me

[@229dave46]

I call BS

[@sarahthompson7416]

To SELL our state

[@galaxiaspenjhonson9170]

Lol opposite of Georgia. You got that right, and put Kemp in his rightful, nobody reputation place. Great snub rich guy, cheers!

[@robertasikkeleecurtin]

RINO traitor

[@barbeaton3653]

Traitor

[@patrickthompson3907]

Thought this was the Davos discussion on disinformation as the clear and present danger?

[@lcools14u]

The sun is burning out

[@smalleyjoquin601]

Fluffing...

[@smalleyjoquin601]

Thanks 😊

[@aioncrypto974]

Everything with this guy is for sell

[@ashmaster2007]

This guy was without a doubt top performer for GOP in midterms. In many ways, he performed better than Desantis from Florida. He won a state that voted Biden and turned blue. The senate election was won by democrats too. On top of that, he was hated by Trump. He won a very tough state by a very good margin. That was not the case with Desantis.

[@R1GAMBLER]

UNIPARTY INSTALLED.

[@conniemaschera7019]

That's ridiculous. Florida has plenty of Trump supporters. Kemp won by 8 pts. DeSantis won by 19 pts. Kemp also benefited by voters who turned out to vote against Stacy Abrams, not because they were crazy about Kemp.

[@debraboutwell6167]

He did great getting re-elected with Abrams willing to cheat.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

A lot of folks living in mask fetish country escaped to the south. some didn't make it to Florida and landed in Georgia... before the midterms.

[@ashmaster2007]

@ConcernedCitizen I hear you. I wish most people were as respectful as you are, when disagreeing.

[@galaxiaspenjhonson9170]

He is busking billionaires...lol.

[@hurry2011]

Great initiative and good leadership, Georgia leads the nation in renewable energy investments, EV, and Hydrogen with Plug Power. Georgia leads in both $ and jobs (over $11B and 8K jobs). GA w/ 3 investments over $1B (Hyundai/SK, Freyr Battery, & Hanwha Q CELLS). The governor needs to guide the leading utility in the state, Georgia Power, to follow its sister utilities in the East US and invest in offshore wind and green hydrogen. Georgia is the only state on eastern sea board without an offshore wind program.

[@R1GAMBLER]

🤡

[@robertfox499]

Wait... if Georgia leads... then why does he need this expensive junket?

[@hurry2011]

@@robertfox499 The opportunity is huge and the race just started. Rivian and Hyundai will build EV plants in the state but the GA could attract 10x more plants from every major manufacturer. EV battery plants by SK Innovation and three others but it could get 10x more. The state has one of the best performing ports in the nation (Savannah) so GA can become the top platform for offshore energy for the rest of the east coat and the rest of the Atlantic. Offshore wind will supply 50% of the energy of almost every eastern utility. Plug Power has built one of the first green Hydrogen plants in Camden County, GA. The green Hydrogen industry will be worth trillions. The movie industry is big in the state ($2.5 billion) but it could grow 10x. The governor has to make the case that Georgia is the best place to invest in the US, the best market in the world. Every business in Davos is a potential investor in the state.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

that eastern seaboard is only 100 miles long. It would cost more to do than it would offset usage.

[@Terri2B]

Kemp should be scared to return!!

[@BReNĐN-c6n]

He can’t be trusted!

[@hardybuzz3592]

No rest for any American gubment SERVANT,once they get back from davos.none
