Anyone see the "mourners" chanting "Throw him out" when the Trumps went to pay their respects to RBG?
Can you imagine Republicans booing Democrats at a funeral? Of course not. Only Democrats would do that.
Also, are we good with Democrats paying felons to vote?

Dog Shit has better character than he has.
Wife and son drove down this afternoon. Arrived in line around 4:30.
Well organized. Line moved. About a 1.5 hour wait.
Lady behind them flew in from Nebraska. First trip to DC. Had to fly back to make it to work.
Another couple drove overnight from Atlanta.
Lots of children, girls wearing RBG lace collars. Lots of flowers.

If James is willing to do it, not too much of a stretch to see Alec Baldwin Whoopi or Joy Behar doing likewise.
No guarantee they'd vote (D) but who knows. It stinks. If a Pub suggested this you'd fucking lose your mind.

I don't think he actually watches the news, though.

In Florida, ex-felons could never vote. Which was ricidulous.
A court ruled that it was ridiculous. Ex-Felons were given back their right to vote.
So the GOP Florida legislative passed a law that said ex-felons could not vote unless all court costs and fees had been paid - often thousands of dollars.
This is being challenged in court, but it will not be decided until 2021 at the earliest.
So Bloomberg is paying some of those fees and costs so these people can vote.
And the same people who claimed to be upset that the state was not getting its money are now upset that the state is getting its money.
Turns out - wait for it - the GOP wanted to restrict voting rolls. So surprising!
The Florida legislature then said “Shit! That’s 750,000 new voters”
To suppress that vote, they passed the law to prohibit those new voters whose fines and costs had not been satisfied in full, notwithstanding that many ex felons were current with their payment schedules. [Commonplace for Courts to successfully discharge a defendant from probation or parole, and convert the outstanding fines and costs to administrative payment schedule].
Many here would prefer to reinstate debtors’ prison.

We shouldn't expect them to pay their bills. Perhaps we should reward felons with 2 votes for president!
Who says Dems are outta touch?!? Amarite??

However felons shouldn't be allowed to vote. You diddle a little kid or kill someone whilst jacking their ride, you lose the right to vote on who should lead the country.
Secondly why should we not expect at a minimum convicted felons continue to pay their debts including court fees. Very odd indeed.
It makes no sense, except that in politics it makes perfect sense.

Dem or Pub. Just my opinion.

I can promise that, if the situation was reversed and those felons were likely to vote R and there was a D legislature, the Ds would be opposing their right to vote and some rich Rs would be paying their fees.
It’s poliics.
