Oh, and people like you pretending criticizing an inept response to a natural disaster is blaming them for the disaster itself.


It was JOE BIDEN who ...

It was YOU likened pointing out Trump's ineptitude and outright lies in handling the crisis to (the mythical) blaming Bush for a hurricane. Own your idiocy.

Bush was incorrectly blamed for hurricane deaths

What a weird time it is when I start agreeing with everything George Will writes.


Josh,  I hope your sister and niece/nephew are doing okay.

A four-four SCOTUS in a tightly contested Presidential election shoud make everyone nervous.

Highly contested? Biden should win this in a landslide as a clear majority of Americans understand Trump is a corrupt and inept authoritarian buffoon.

Familiarize yourself with the Electoral College. It's not about "the clear majority of Americans", nor what they "understand".

And follow the money.

--- Trump Supreme Court favorite Amy Coney Barrett would be the ultimate insult to RBG---

Just days after after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won a court victory to keep felons from voting until they've paid off fines, restitution and court fees, billionaire Mike Bloomberg has stepped in to help them pay off the debts.

The former Democratic presidential candidate has helped raise more than $20 million so that felons who completed their prison sentences can vote in the presidential election. Bloomberg also has pledged $100 million to help Joe Biden win Florida.

“The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and no American should be denied that right. Working together with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, we are determined to end disenfranchisement and the discrimination that has always driven it,” Bloomberg said in a written statement.

A federal appellate court ruled on Sept. 11 that in addition to serving their sentences, Florida felons must pay all fines, restitution and legal fees before they can regain their right to vote. The case could have broad implications for the November elections. Florida has 29 electoral college votes that are crucial to President Donald Trump’s hopes of staying in the White House.

Under Amendment 4, which Florida voters passed overwhelmingly in 2018, felons who have completed their sentences would have voting rights restored. Republican lawmakers then moved to define what it means to complete a sentence.

In addition to prison time served, lawmakers directed that all legal financial obligations, including unpaid fines and restitution, would also have to be settled before a felon could be eligible to vote.

The Florida Rights Restitution Coalition had raised about $5 million before Bloomberg made calls to raise almost $17 million more, according to Bloomberg staffers.

The money is targeted for felons who registered to vote while the law was in question and who owe $1,500 or less. That accounts for about 31,100 people, the staffers said.

Trump is HONORING Justice Ginsburg by making the pick a woman.

Republicans hate Americans who want to exercise their right to vote.

It's a nice thing for Bloomberg to do, whether or not voting rights are attached

The GOP advantage conferred by the Electoral College is considerable.  The fact that only Maine and Nebraska can split electors is unfortunate for representative democracy.
Obama,  for example,  received an electoral vote in Nebraska in 2008 that would have gone to John McCain if a WTA system had been in place.   "One vote,  one district" should be the norm,  not the exception.

Trump is HONORING Justice Ginsburg by making the pick a woman.

You're such a cheerleader that you can't understand that any word whose root is HONOR has no business being associated with Trump. Unless, it's the word "DISHONOR".

Trump is HONORING Justice Ginsburg by making the pick a woman.

Trump is serving his own goals by maintaining a woman seat.   If you can't grasp that in an election year when women are deserting Trump in vast numbers,  then you really are naive.

I couldn't get into the Electoral College-dad wasn't able to underwrite a $10 million dorm.

Jared's lucky.

The point was Red's wish to have a Repub picked and pack SC decide the election presumably on party lines, rather than the actual votes of the American voters, which if accurately and fairly counted, would likely lead to a Biden victory over the fascist forces of evil.

Just like GHW Bush honored Thurgood Marshall by picking Justice Thomas.

Kid why do you troll this board with your idiocy?

and why do you rejoice in the death of democracy?

[josh]

Trump is HONORING Justice Ginsburg by making the pick a woman.

No more than Bush honored Thurgood Marshall by appointing Clarence Thomas.

Both deceased Justices would find your notion of "honor" insulting. Ginsburg might have been polite to you about it.

This excuse is almost as flimsy as your defense of Trump vis-a-vis COVID-19.

It's not "can't." It's "won't."

This is dishonesty, not ignorance. See also: COVID-19.
