No, the vast majority are good people. Only failures say and do shit like what the state legislators did to their citizens.

You are a failure, Kelly Loeffler.

In other words her attempts to say Hank Aaron would have approved of the racist Jim Crow law aren’t going well for her...

And Loeffler should shut up about anything to do with Hank Aaron, a very fine man as well as all time great baseball player.

has with Aaron’s career. Indianapolis isn’t practical, however. There is no MLB team there, and the Triple A stadium only seats a little over 12,000, 14,000 if they use the lawn beyond the outfield. If they impose seating restrictions, only about 3,500 could see the game live — admittedly more than saw a game live last year.

I might be astonished at the gall, but then I realize that for Republican voters, they don't need truth. Only what makes them feel justified, even if they have to lie, and in turn swallow a lie.
