President* Trump

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

You could eat during that shitshow? I had to turn it off.

Isn't there a law against campaigning on federal property?

Talking heads will be sharpening their knives tonight.

It doesn't even make sense to me...
Catherine Herridge, CBS News reporter: “Why are African Americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement in this country?”

Trump: “So are white people. So are white people. What a terrible question to ask. So are white people. More white people, by the way. More white people.” — in an interview on CBS

The response to black people dying because of law enforcement is to point out even more people are dying at the hands of law enforcement?

Really?

He gets setup to say something so profound and squanders every opportunity.

I think someone here suggested this:

Could Trump Be Charged With Manslaughter Over COVID-19?
If Person A commits an act of negligence, and Person B dies, that’s likely a crime. And what about if there are 136,000 Person Bs?

Opps! I did not know this. I thought I'd read a story recently that the issue of allowing FL felons who have served their sentences to vote was an issue currently being debated. Didn't know it had been settled. In any case, I expect Roger to resume breaking laws very soon.
Floridians restored felon voting rights. The Leg then passed a law that the felons also had to have paid all fines and fees. I think the courts have ruled, but I can't remember which way. PINO's order would remove any Stone fines, I'm not sure if there were also fees.
I guess it's still up in the air.
Supreme Court temporarily blocks (some) felons from voting in Florida

The Supreme Court refused Thursday to let Florida felons who have completed their sentences vote in an upcoming primary without first paying fees, fines and restitution, as the state requires.

Voting rights groups had challenged the requirement as unconstitutional, given that state voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2018 giving hundreds of thousands of felons the right to vote. Now it will remain in effect while the case is heard next month by a federal appeals court.

The unsigned order was opposed by liberal Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan. Sotomayor said it "prevents thousands of otherwise eligible voters from participating in Florida’s primary election simply because they are poor."

"Under this scheme, nearly a million otherwise-eligible citizens cannot vote unless they pay money," Sotomayor said, calling it a "voter paywall."

The dispute over the voting rights of Florida's felons could be crucial in this fall's elections because of its perennial status as a swing state. There are about 775,000 felons in the state who have completed their prison sentences, including some 85,000 who have registered to vote so far.

Most states restore felons' right to vote after their sentences, along with time on parole or probation, are complete. Many states impose additional requirements. Florida is among 11 states with the most restrictive rules, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2018 allowing felons to vote after their sentences are complete. The initiative won 64% approval.

Thereafter, the state legislature passed and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law requiring that felons first pay all fees, fines and restitution owed as part of the process.

That restriction was challenged by voting rights groups, and in May, U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle struck it down as a "pay-to-vote system." But earlier this month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit blocked Hinkle's ruling and scheduled a hearing for Aug. 18 – the date of the state primary. The registration deadline to vote is next Monday.

Voting rights groups told the Supreme Court that Florida's system amounts to a "poll tax" that violates the 24th Amendment to the Constitution.

"This is a deeply disappointing decision,” said Paul Smith, vice president of the Campaign Legal Center, which led the opposition to Florida's rule. "Florida’s voters spoke loud and clear when nearly two-thirds of them supported rights restoration at the ballot box in 2018."

In legal papers, the voting rights groups said most felons "cannot afford to pay what they owe." Even those who can, they said, usually can't figure out what they owe years after their convictions....
Whatever one thinks of the Leg rule, this is obviously about Repugs suppressing votes, again.

I'm not sure is anyone will do this, but it would be interesting to see a line-by-line comparison of NC's demands to what the RNC ends up looking like. Then, analyze how much the move cost the Repugs.

I'm not interested in doing any serious analysis, but likely NC would have simply required masks, distancing, some limitations on maximum arena capacity, and maybe pre-entry temp checks. Looks like that's what they're getting in Jacksonville, and I think, but don't know, the Jacksonville arena is a little smaller to begin with. And we know they spent $30 mill in Charlotte they're not getting back. And donor sponsorships are much harder to get for the new venue after people had already donated for Charlotte. Basically, a total clusterfuck.

Meanwhile, the Dems will smoothly do what they've been planning for two months now. If he wins, Biden will owe Gov Cooper, the state health director and the Charlotte mayor bigly.

Here's something fun. Apparently they're continuing to shuffle venues, and now will have at least some of the pretend convention in the Jacksonville baseball stadium. Context: it's really a very nice stadium, old style, brick, good place to watch a game. But ... it is a minor league stadium, and ...
for some reason a few years ago they changed the team name from "Jacksonville Suns" to ... wait for it... the "Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp." Why, I have no idea, but Jumbo Shrimps it is.

So now trumpers, or maybe Trump will be appearing on TV "live from Jacksonville's minor league baseball stadium, home of the Jumbo Shrimps!"

And September isn't any different except for the addition of hurricane risk. 90/90 days are not unusual - 90 degrees, 90 percent humidity. And then an afternoon storm. After which the sun comes back and steam rises off the streets and turns the humidity close to 100.

Now you know why you don't see anything but Florida licence plates in WNC in August.
