This is what they did to the Lion of Atlanta that honored 3000 unknown confederate dead at Oakland cemetery. Do you like the nice sprinkler? That monument stood for 124 years, George Floyd erased it.

This is who and what they want. President of the NAACP. Gerald Griggs has been a prominent, vocal advocate for completely removing the Confederate carving from Stone Mountain. Over years of activism with the NAACP and as a civil rights attorney, his commentary has focused on the carving as a symbol of white supremacy, hate, and a revisionist history that needs to be addressed. His core arguments and public commentary outline a multi-step perspective: 1. Direct Call for Total Removal Griggs rejects partial compromises—such as changing logos or adding small exhibits—stating that true change must begin with the rock face itself. • "Take it down. Restore the mountain to its original condition." He frequently reiterates this stance, pushing back against state lawmakers who claim there is no political appetite to alter the monument. • The "Day One" Agenda: He explicitly emphasizes this as a top legislative priority for the state, arguing that Georgia must "finally take the Confederate carvings off the face of Stone Mountain" to build a policy reflecting the future rather than a painful past.

The Lion of Atlanta was removed then replaced with a sprinkler. This is what we have to look forward to.

This is what is coming. The Lion of Atlanta (also known as the Lion of the Confederacy) was a 15-ton marble monument that stood in Atlanta's historic Oakland Cemetery for 127 years. History and Design • Creation: Commissioned in 1894 by the Atlanta Ladies Memorial Association and carved by artist T.M. Brady. • Inspiration: Modeled closely after the Lion of Lucerne in Switzerland, the sculpture depicted a dying, recumbent lion sprawled atop a Confederate battle flag. • Meaning: It served as a marker and memorial for approximately 3,000 unknown Confederate soldiers buried in that section of the cemetery. Removal • Vandalism: The statue became a frequent target of vandalism starting in the fall of 2019, sustaining paint damage and strikes from tools like a pickaxe. • Relocation: On August 18, 2021, the Atlanta City Council voted unanimously to remove the sculpture, citing the need to prevent further destruction and manage the grounds. • Current Status: The statue was taken to an undisclosed location by the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, and the Historic Oakland Foundation partnered with the Atlanta History Center to install new interpretive signage in its place.

This is what they want gone on day one. Does anyone disagree?

Of every race or gender that could be considered for the leadership of a state, black women are the last choice. Thanks Kemp!

I let this set for a while but I have to post this. I feel like it is reconstruction all over again, like a family member has died. Something was sold that can never be rebought. My soul hurts. The idea that my state where I have relatives in the ground since before Georgia was a state has been corruptly undermined so that an entire slate of unqualified black women hold the levers of power in my state is unfathomable. I am not sure they will be capable of destroying the statues and memorials of the confederate dead without some resistance. The fact that this is something they want on day one is an insult.

Trump is in the Epstein Files I have heard for the past two years, so when the Dems take Congress on Jan 3rd, 2027, they will release the unredacted files won’t they? Wanna bet $100 bucks the story goes away and never gets released?

After 2020 and no one was prosecuted, they went further in each election cycle and this time they just said to hell with elections. With Texas and Georgia they have the presidency in 2028 and there is nothing anyone can do to stop them. I think they will remove Trump and install a president. After that, there will only be elections after the order of North Korea. The U.S. is over.

In February of 2027, impeachment charges will be brought against Donald Trump. Thune will be able to find the votes to remove Trump that he couldn’t find to pass the SAVE America Act. Trump and Vance will be removed and Hakeem Jefferies will be the president. Wait and see!

So the GOP refused to pass the SAVE America Act and many like me said FAFO. Now that the Dems have won, let’s see who will stand and who will bend over. We needed to burn the pasture to remove the weeds. Now let’s find true believers and not Kemp fags.

This election was a repudiation of the GOP abandoning Trump and fighting against him. If the GOP won’t fight for him, then to hell with them and let the Dems come in and convert more Patriot believers. Soon, many will see it is us against them and it is time to stand, with bayonets fixed.

Thune knew, if he stood against voter ID, the Dems and his allies would defeat Trump. Nothing was more important. Thune couldn’t recognize a once in a lifetime opportunity to bury the dems, and he wouldn’t take it. The U.S. is history. Civilization is ended. I will defend my small acreage and be happy to fertilize it with my remains. The establishment has won.

The SAVE America Act was tossed so the Dems could steal this election against DJT. So what now? I want the whole thing to burn to the ground. I’ll help rebuild from the ruins.

The pirate has no party allegiance and sat this election out. Kemp and Raffensparger are still in charge of Georgia elections. They refused to redistrict to remove Sanford Bishop. Election shenanigans are still happening and if Ossoff wins it is proof. The national party refused to bring the SAVE America Act up to ensure election integrity, 90-10% voter issue. Why should I waste another second when my vote is too irrelevant for them to protect? To hell with them all, I am defending just one place.

If Tejas is less than 5 points from a Paxton win, the U.S. is lost.
