(Asking for a friend: Can you be on probation and run for Congress?)

Not one to be influenced by inconsequential formalities (including a person's civil or human rights, the U.S. Constitution, due process, or the remainder of his federal prison sentence), Victor Hill is all, 100%, and fully clear now about the wrongs we as society place on inmates. And it's not that he'd be a one-track-Congressman or anything. At all. Ya see, it's simply just early in the process. And all that other is so essential and massive, it'll take more than a few minutes to feel out his stance on other topics. This much he knows.

No room for any 'Low T' up in D5!  ...Time to give it the Big Hill MAMA treatment--as in, "Make Atlanta Masculine Again;" Gov. Kemp indicates openness to also use National Guard on those protesting Trump's immigration stance; and a conversation with the producers of NPR's latest Embedded podcast: The Network.
