      What if he was planning this since 2017, and their code name for the operation was “covfefe”…

        A covert operation involving coffee county, but executed poorly? I think you cracked the case!

        Honestly, it was probably supposed to be covffee, but the dumbass not only tweeted it instead of texting, but also misspelled it.

      There’s a whole damn Waffle House of counties.

      Early, Cook, Crisp, Bacon, and Coffee are all GA counties.

      As a now-westerner, the only explanation I can come up with is that it’s a job-creation scheme for crooked sheriffs.

      (We got a few of those out here too mind you, seems to go with the job)

      Georgia has more counties than any other state*. We’re fuckin’ overflowing with counties 'round here!

      (* Edit: except Texas, which I forgot about, but which doesn’t count because having a lot of counties makes sense for a huge state)
