That's a bit of false equivalency, don't you think? The difference between things like teaching tolerance vs teaching white supremacy?

I ah... might have misjudged that.

For anyone who doesn't want to bother clicking on the link: Gaetz is linking to himself.

He claims there is a law in FL that you can't give anyone something of value to get them to vote. He does not cite the law and claims the FL AG is looking into it.

These guys are so desperate to suppress the vote, aka cheat, yet they act like they are preventing someone from paying for votes. In reality Bloomberg is not paying for votes, he's helping people gain access to voting.

It's disgusting.

I guess the big question is whether this will actually be a valid presidential news conference or will it devolve into a typical trump campaign event.

I was honored to receive the Endorsement of the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association in 2016, and am honored once again to receive their Official Support and Endorsement in 2020. Thank you very much, I will never let you down!

At UN, Trump raps China for virus as US deaths top 200,000 by Deb Riechmann

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump urged world leaders to hold
China accountable for the spread of the coronavirus, in a video address to
a scaled-down U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday as America's death toll
topped 200,000. Beyond criticizing China, Trump took aim at the very
foundation of the United Nations by urging other leaders to put their own
countries first, a message that echoed his “America First” campaign mantra.

“Only when you take care of your own citizens, will you find a true basis
for cooperation,” Trump said. “As president, I have rejected the failed
approaches of the past — and I am proudly putting America first, just
as you should be putting your countries first. That’s OK. That’s what you
should be doing.”

At the very least, 1984 is anti-authority and that would be enough to get it banned in schools by those who want children to worship authority.

I didn't get the take from it that it was actually anti-authority, more anti-totalitarianism and a warning against extremism in Government.

If there's a law like that it's likely intended to prevent bribing people to vote their way. But that's not the same as making it possible to vote, like driving them to the polls. I would think paying off their fines would be seen as a gift as long as they weren't somehow required to vote. And since Bloomberg is giving his money to an established rights organization, not directly to felons, I doubt they can come after him in any case.

Sure, but large swaths of our government (including the subject of this thread) have waffled on making it a requirement in even the most dangerous circumstances (like rallies held by the subject of this thread), so the deplorables can say "not my government" and go on endangering whomever they please.

Re banning of 1984:
Leave it to some group in FL to think 1984 was pro-communism. :boggled:

Might be getting off topic here but maybe not given the Trump regime is slipping into Gilead territory.

This is an interesting piece if anyone is interested in more information: Banned Books Awareness: “1984”

Donald Trump calls Pope Francis “disgraceful” after he says Trump is not a Christian.

Even funnier, from the same Twitter feed, a Fox News contributor states that Pope Francis needs to ask Trump’s forgiveness for implying Trump is not a Christian.

I disagree. You seem to be assuming moral values and levels of honesty that Trump does not demonstrate to reach this conclusion. Again, it's worth remembering that Trump was literally taught to use Nazi tactics, very much including the Big Lie. I'd say that it's nigh certain that he knows quite well that he's applying inconsistent standards and is doing so quite intentionally.
