NEEDED CONTEXT HERE:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion
Henry Ford funded printing of 500,000 copies that were distributed throughout the United States in the 1920s. Distillations of it were assigned by some German teachers, as if factual, to be read by German schoolchildren after the Nazis came to power in 1933,[2] despite having been exposed as fraudulent by the British newspaper The Times in 1921 and the German Frankfurter Zeitung in 1924. It remains widely available in numerous languages, in print and on the Internet, and continues to be presented by neofascist, fundamentalist and antisemitic groups as a genuine document. The political scientist Stephen Bronner described it as "probably the most influential work of antisemitism ever written ... what the Communist Manifesto is for Marxism, the fictitious Protocols is for antisemitism".[3]

oh yea, Scott almost got his ass charged with massive Medicare fraud:

First, Gov. Rick Scott scared the bejesus out of seniors with an online ad claiming that Medicare rate cuts would lead them to lose access to their doctors, hospitals and preventive care.
Then, the Florida Democratic Party fired back at Scott, issuing a press release that called Scott "the ultimate Medicare thief."
The Democrats were referring to Scotts prior tenure as CEO of Columbia/HCA about a decade ago, when the hospital company was fined $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud.
"Rick Scott is saying Democrats are committing Medicare robbery, when in fact he's the ultimate Medicare thief. He lost the right to accuse Democrats of raiding Medicare when he oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in the nation's history. Rick Scott's company stole money that should have gone to health care for seniors," said Florida Democratic Party spokesman Joshua Karp in the Feb. 25 press release.
Politifact rating: Mostly true
eta: Schmidt also slaps down Rubio

Sincere question about Trump and Republican-controlled election supervisors
We have already seen how Trump is trying to destroy mail-in voting. Hopefully we can reverse the damage to the USPS and restore it to 2019 levels.
With in-person traditional voting, we all know that in lower income precincts, historically there have not been enough voting machines and those voters are forced to stand in very long lines, a scary prospect during a pandemic.
Is there any evidence, so far, that the Republican-controlled election supervisors are trying to further limit voting machines in lower income precincts and perhaps other precincts ? I can easily see Trump-consigliere Barr making phone calls to those supervisors (on the state level) and "hinting" or outright asking that they limit the machines or, ooops, providing faulty machines that break.
Anyone read anything so far ? I do hope, probably naively, that they do not do this. Thanks in advance.
