Mike Bloomberg pays fines for 32,000 Florida felons so they can vote

[Bushmaster]

I simply can't imagine being SO utterly desperate that you pay off convicted felons to vote. And of course libs know this reeks of desperation, but as usual they DGAF.. More to the point act as if its the greatest idea ever lol.

Sad AF.. seriously.

[Procta]

Heard some musings that Bloomingbergs actions could be illegal.

seems like a no brainer to me
paying for / buying votes
giving something of value for a vote

[Seatard]

Putting a criminal back on the street (sooner) so they can re offend? Interesting line of thinking you have there.

LOL Yeah, interdasting, that's why people should be released from prison...

The "musings" are counting on people being too stupid to understand the difference between providing an opportunity to vote and paying someone to vote a specific way, otherwise giving someone a ride on election day or helping them register to vote would be illegal.

Come back when it's shown Bloomberg was paying someone to vote a specific way and we can all hold hands in outrage.

[ChewYourFood]

Trump got the best of Mini Mike; he needs to tap out. Mini Mike is pathetic. Manlet thinks he will be the one to stump Trump with his beta bux. When will they learn?

LMAO!! Riiiiiiighhhht... This is a purely altruistic move coming from the kindness of his heart lol. No ulterior motives at all, and the billionaire politician from New York who has repeatedly said he would do whatever it takes to defeat Trump suddenly decides to care about giving felons in FLORIDA the "opportunity" to vote.

I believe this....

Bloomberg was always going to be better at being another Soros-esque type figure. Running for office was perhaps the dumbest thing he could've done. Chalk it up to arrogance.

To a certain extent, I admire this hustle. This is exactly how rich leftists are the best at maximizing their effectiveness. Pulling the strings behind the scenes. Should be a lesson to the republicans that democrats have no real principles or sense of honor. Especially considering this new SCOTUS nominee fight we're about to have.

Calm your tits. Where are you getting this stupid chit from?

Hope you didn't read anything I said and conclude I don't think there are ulterior motives.

If it's illegal there will charges.

No there won't.

And even if there were, a million TDS libs like you will go on the rampage and run interference for him..Won't you.

[Dirtybiscuit]

He's not forgiving the debt owed by felons in California...or texas....or anywhere else. This is clearly a political move.

Quite frankly I just don't like Bloomberg he's a slimey scumbag of the highest order and whatever he does politically can't be seen as anything but for nefarious reasons.

Le Flop Queen James is doing the exact same thing

[JLay87]

No there won't.

And even if there were, a million TDS libs like you will go on the rampage and run interference for him..Won't you.

Even if there were a crime, there wouldn't be charges because Trump gutted the FEC. Because Trump has no concern for election integrity.

[John Promise]

Oops looks like it could alredy be under investigation...

LOL Yeah, interdasting, that's why people should be released from prison...

Bail is not the same as the fulfillment of incarceration sentence.

Derp.

No it's not, Gaetz is just running his mouth off as per usual. The FEC would investigate. The FEC effectively doesn't exist anymore because of Trump, so no investigation will happen.

This is how you people believe BS. Gaetz goes on Fox and says some crap and you take it as some kind of truth.

Russia! ....amirite?

Why don't you post something intelligent. Like, for example, what you're actually trying to argue here. Are you arguing that the FEC hasn't been gutted? They don't have enough commissioners to do anything. That's due to Trump not appointing any.

Because I don't take any of you *******s and your faux outrage seriously. Much more fun to fuk with you instead.

You aren't smart enough to take an actual position. It's why conservatives are on average way less educated than liberals. You're too dumb to realize how stupid you sound. Classic Trump supporter.

[John Promise]

You missed the qualifier "could." Personally I never believe anything like this until it materializes, but it is fun watching people get all defensive when it looks like the chit is about to hit the fan.


What you don't seem to understand is that states have their own laws. The FEC has nothing to do with this conversation if Bloomberg broke Florida state law.

No I didn't miss it at all. It's a typical republican tactic. Gaetz goes on TV to say he spoke with the FL AG and that he "thinks there could be an investigation and charges could be filed against this potential criminal activity". Charges are never filed. Yet Gaetz's low-IQ republican base eat it up as if Bloomberg was prosecuted (or would have been if it weren't for the "DEEP STATE"). Then Republicans call Bloomberg a criminal and whine about how liberals are bribing people to vote and therefore the elections are illegitimate. Conservatives are too stupid to independently look into any of this and are spoon fed lies this way regularly. Their entire belief system is based on this propaganda cycle. Then Republicans go and disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters in a single election and Republicans talk out of the other side of their mouth justifying it based on "corruption" like Bloomberg's. It's a joke really. Luckily conservatives are increasingly in the minority in this country.

[Fang2]

Lol at anyone justifying what Bloomberg did itt

you just described the Mueller investigation really well

[Fishman15]

Spade a spade huh... lol, ok lets discuss. This is what caused your tampon to leak.



Now.. have you seen ME attacking people with hats I don't like, attending any "peaceful protests" or blocking traffic? Right, that's what I though. That's YOUR team princess, all I do is say mean words to you on the internet.

Now change your pad ffs, I can smell you all the way over here.

Miscbro just destroyed with common sense...

[jimmyjabbar]

Lol at anyone justifying what Bloomberg did itt

easily justified. The populace voted for prisoner voting rights, and the republican's used bureaucratic bullchit to go around a democratic process. Ive no delusions what Bloomebergs intentions are; that said, the people want felons to be able to vote. So the people get what they want

[Hippasus]

“I believe there may be a criminal investigation already underway of the Bloomberg-connected activities in Florida,” Gaetz told Sean Hannity.

“[Under Florida law] it’s a third-degree felony for someone to either directly or indirectly provide something of value to impact whether or not someone votes. So the question is whether or not paying off someone’s fines and legal obligations counts as something of value, and it clearly does. If Michael Bloomberg was offering to pay off people’s credit card debts, you would obviously see the value in that."

“When you improve someone’s net worth by eliminating their financial liabilities, that’s something of value. Normally, it would be very difficult to prove that that was directly linked to impacting whether or not someone was going to vote. But they literally wrote their own admission,”

the people awere willing to give felons the right to vote back if they are earned on their own merrit & willingness to complete their legal obligations

not paid for by and out of sate NY billionaire but I guess that the loop hole left in gray area in the law you are referring to

[ArtistBrahs]

Recidivism rates tell us half(?) of them are already back in jail and won't be voting anyways.

IMO it's still one of the better things I've heard of a billionaire doing with their pocket change.

Your so full of chit. If Trump did this you wouid be loosing your mind, but now cheating is ‘ok’ since it’s for your ‘team’.

Wrong

[jimmyjabbar]

Wrong

So the people didnt vote for it? Or the Republicans didnt find a procedural way around it? Pretty clear what happened there, but stick to your 'libs are the wrong ones'. You had conservatives who would rather drop democracy than risk losing

all the fees were placed on after by the republican legislature as a way to go around the peoples wants. As undemocratic as it gets
