Hank Aaron is one of baseball’s all-time greats, and its real homerun king. When he passed away in January, it was only natural that Major League Baseball would honor the Braves great throughout the year, and especially at the All-Star Game. It was the perfect setting – the game was set for Atlanta, where Aaron hit many of his record 755 homeruns, including his record-breaking 715th. That honor won’t happen now, as a string of lies has the cowardly MLB moving the game elsewhere thanks to Stacey Abrams, Joe Biden, and the woke mob media that couldn’t do more to damage this country if it were their actual job.
How did this come about? There are only 2 options: Democrats are either stupid or liars.
It’s an acceptable answer to think it’s a combination of both, but it is likely more one than the other, at least on a case by case basis.
When it comes to Abrams, it is definitely both.
Abrams is Georgia’s Governor-in-exile. This gap-toothed hypocrite has become the go-to stercoraceous for liberal media on all things “voter suppression.” She’s also raised a small fortune for the “cause,” which is a bit like getting rich off pre-selling unicorns.
In the course of amassing that fortune, she’s had to become unburdened by reality. First, the reality that the 2018 election was stolen from her. She knows she lost fair and square, but her ego wouldn’t allow her to accept it. Now, her relevance won’t allow her to admit it. Everything she is depends on that lie continuing.
In the course of building that lie, Abrams may well have begun to believe it. You can only have so much smoke blown up where last night’s dinner resides before you begin to crave a cigarette. But that lie has now backfired.
Stacey Abrams has cost the people she hopes to lead the opportunity to honor a hero, she’s cost vendors and merchants a lot of money, and she has embarrassed the state. Nothing she has said about the new Georgia voter integrity law is true, and those who don’t know it now will eventually.
The only way she could undo the damage of chasing away the All-Star Game is to admit she’s been lying. She can’t do that. So is she more stupid or liar?
Joe Biden has slightly more of an excuse. He’s stupid, always has been. But he’s also always been a liar. Then there’s the possibility that in his diminished capacity his staff has simply lied to him. Not being very bright, he wouldn’t question the absurdity of Republicans imposing “Jim Crow 2.0” or “Jim Crow on steroids” when briefed on the law. Never a deep thinker, it wouldn’t occur to him to ask relevant questions like, “How do these minor changes to the law compare to the voting laws in my home state?” Turns out, not too favorably…for Delaware.
In reality, even a child reading the actual text of the law would see it’s much easier to vote in Georgia now than it has ever been to vote in Delaware. Easy access to absentee voting, drop boxes, and more time for early voting (by a lot) than the President’s home state. If Georgia is “oppressive,” why has he remained silent his entire life about the oppression in his home?
Because he doesn’t know, or he doesn’t care. Stupid or liar?
The liberal media, naturally, has unquestioningly parroted every Democrat talking point on the subject. MSNBC is the “Jim Crow 2.0” network. From the goons on Morning Joe to the frauds at night, they steadfastly insist having to write your driver’s license number on an absentee ballot is the modern equivalent of separate drinking fountains. Personally, I believe black people are capable of anything, particularly the simple task of easily proving you are who you say you are. But then holding anyone who would willingly marry Mika Brzezinski, especially after having failed so spectacularly in 2 previous marriages, as your standard bearer lends itself to thinking very little of the intelligence of everyone else.
Stupid or liars?
As corporations cave to this unholy alliance of ignoramuses, you’d think someone would actually read the damn law and care that they’re all getting it wrong. It’s not that hard, even one fact-checker at the Washington Post was able to do it, awarding Biden their highest score on their BS-meter.
So are these people stupid or liars? And how much of each are they? There’s no wrong answer, just as there is no good answer. It just is. It’s who they are.
Evil is more like it.
This is an and/or question.
Oh, I agree. For sure, Democraps are stupid liars.....but we musn't forget our best "betters," the sap-happy, power-mongering Democraps.
That said, Hank Aaron did play one more season than Ruth (and about 700 more games) so Aaron holds the record. At least the non-drug-enhanced record.
Beat me to it. Evil is the most appropriate word.
Evil as a party/blob-like Organization. Stupid describes their typical voters. Which is ironic because this includes many of our “educated peers”. Sad testament to how far the Old Republic has fallen.
Why can’t they be both?
Go woke, lose me as a fan.
Lifelong sports fan here.
Been two years since I viewed an NFL or NBA game.
Guess with baseball going horse shit I will boycott them too.
And I really do not like Atlanta.
Stupid or liars?
Yes.
CC
Stalinists lie. Always
To raise more money for her (cough) non-profit, and in between eating extra-cheese pizzas, she
has said things about Georgia's new voter integrity law that are off-the-wall, and have no basis in truth.
So I guess the Big Gulper wont be voting anytime soon....
Aren’t they? I think they are (both liars and stupid.)
Aaron played 14 seasons in Milwaukee and just nine in Atlanta.
AND evil.
It’s not mutually exclusive
A history teacher told us on the first day of the term that one word he never wanted to hear in his history class was “if.”
Both!
conniving...
It’s hard, almost impossible to compare great players from different eras, all you say is true, but Babe Ruth also played with slightly different rules than Hank Aaron...
Some of this can’t be confirmed by research but it almost certainly must have happened to Babe Ruth..
In Ruth’s era, he arguably didn’t play against the best talent, black players could not play in MLB, a case could be made that Babe Ruth benefitted from inferior talent chasing down ground balls, foul balls, etc...during his era...
In Ruth’s era, if a ball bounced over the fence it was ruled a home run and not a ground rule double.
A home run in Ruth’s era that curved around the foul pole was ruled a foul ball...
The gloves were completely different in Ruth’s era...
this was almost equal, but in Ruth’s era, pitchers pitched more often and threw significantly more innings that Aaron’s era especially later in his career with the advent of the relief pitcher...
My point is, both were all time great players that are impossible to actually compare..
