Since I can't, could someone please ask olives what the hell this asinine post is supposed to mean?
Sorry to inform here...but modern day fascism exists in both main political US parties. They are the same thing. Refer to the origin of modern day fascism circa 1900. By the way....all fascists are faggots. Simply by original definition. Crazy true fact:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175099692
He then goes on to explain that a bundle of sticks is called a fagot. What on earth does that have to do with both parties being fascists?
Tell him I took him up on the offer to search "modern day fascism" and a crap ton of articles appeared which explained his premise a bit better than more of his dictionary searches could.
Here's just a small example of what I found, or one could search for themselves if they like.

I'd really appreciate for him to justify the comment that I bolded in his above quote or at least how he came to that conclusion from that generic search term he offered. Id love to discuss it with him but he doesn't like people who don't embrace his opinions and puts them on ignore rather than debate on, what I would call, a losing position.
It's no sweat if nobody wants to get involved, I understand but it wouldn't be a stretch to just c&p this reply and send it to him. I read about fifteen different articles on the subject and none of them suggest what he has suggested.
Wasn't there a big GOP guy saying a couple weeks ago that if he's elected the government would pay for all IVF treatments for anyone that required them? (min. 25k a pop) Or if that didn't work, he would make the insurance companies pony up for the treatments?
It seems he's telling fibs again.

Remember the night you we're on this board telling us how happy you were that you moved to permit-less concealed carry laws in your state? How you were going to give it a test run and go shoot some Democrats? I do.
knock it off with your holier than thou shit. Act like an adult.
Trust me, I know a lot more about Ohio than I ever wanted to know. People that have read my posts around here for many years would be able to tell you exactly how I feel about that state.
Of course they are going to try and spin it any way they can to protect dear leader. That's what they do. Party before constituents, every single time. It's too bad the people that vote for them haven't figured it out yet, or just don't care because they agree with them.
edit: I don't like credit scores being tied to insurance rates either. Seems counterproductive. "This customer is late on their bills so let's jack up their premium and see if they can't afford to pay us either." WTF? Like being late on some bills makes you more disaster/accident prone than the next person.
I've had a couple small issues that I perhaps could have filed a claim for but I was able to do the work myself. We're no strangers to tree mishaps here either though mine had nothing to do with trees and it was cheaper in the long run not to claim it.
I think my insurance rates are reasonable, but going from 800 to 1100 per year kind of jumps off the page at you. I also pay it all at once, I just needed to cover my Florida kickback this time..
Give me a break. OOOHHH they compared him to hitler, we better go shoot him. They said he's a threat to democracy, we better go shoot him.. Do you know how fucking stupid that sounds?
Do you know that those claims are backed up by the convicted felon's own words or do you live in the same distorted reality that he does?
not only that but ours here have increased across the board as well. I don't know about others but mine went up around 40% and the insurer stated the the major reason was to help pay the increased amount of claims across the country. They have since bailed on the high risk markets so I'll be interested to see what the premiums are next year.
I've lived here for 28 years and never had to file a claim. I think its bullshit that we should get punished to keep their shareholders happy.
The Ohio governor has denounced the lies, even went as far to state that the Haitians are not illegal immigrants and they weren't just bussed in at random. They were invited by the city to come and work. Existing industrial operations are expanding and new ones are moving in. The city is being revitalized, albeit without growing pains.
What DeWine did say though is that Biden hasn't given him enough money to address their problems so he shifts the blame to Biden. I think that it's purely a local and state issue that needs to be addressed. The federal government only pitches in if there's a disaster. I'm sure the state got bucketloads of money from the infrastructure bill that no Republicans voted for, so why not allocate some there, if money is your only problem? I'm also quite sure that adding 10000+ people and new businesses to your tax base frees up some extra dough as well.
It's a shame what these people are having to endure. All of this because Cletus is big mad that he has to wait in a line at the DMV again and has to schedule his doctors appointments in advance these days. The rent is naturally going to increase when what was becoming a ghost town suddenly comes back to life. Supply and demand economics are funny like that.

The sad part is all of that is money that could have been spent on helping the city bolster its infrastructure needs is now being spent on law enforcement tacticians and outside agencies trying to diffuse the tense situations within the community. Even more sad is the fact that we have a pair of stochastic terrorists at the top of the GOP ticket that started it all.
You know, it's really comical that you folks have run around for the last 8 years, cheering on a half wit schoolyard bully that has done nothing but threaten everyone in society that doesn't kiss his ass with violence, jail time or both. You told us to "fuck our feelings" because that was just who the guy is, a big, bold, tough man and he's just saying what you all feel. You laughed when he told people to beat the shit out of protesters at his rallies, when he mocked people with disabilities, made a mockery of gold star families and told us we just need to "get over it" after school shootings.
You cheered when he had the military fire tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters so he could go to a church and take a picture with an upside down bible. It made you all warm and fuzzy inside when he suggested that our military execute asylum seekers as they crossed the border, shoplifters as they exited stores and shoot peaceful protesters in the legs when they gathered. You called our military generals "woke pussies" when they refused to bow to that psychopath's every murderous whim.
I'm not even going to get into how he's running his current campaign but I'm sure you get the hint by now.
After all of that, all thee fear-mongering, scapegoating, outright threats of violence and retribution against his political opponents you have the balls to come here now and say that it's rhetoric from the opposition party that caused all this? Are you fuckin kidding me?
Go blow it out of your ass you little snowflake. You had your chance to disavow this type of politics years ago but it was you who stood and laughed as it reached its crescendo. You're a product of your own making, completely ignoring the old adage that "what comes around goes around" and now you want the opposition to "tone it down"? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
He is a threat to our democracy, he does compare to Hitler and any other authoritarian leader out there on every level and those are facts, so it's really hard to "tone them down". There's only one side that has called for flat out political violence and told us that our country needs to be taken back (from an invisible enemy) by force. That's all you, every last bit of it. Maybe he can drop the "dog and cat" bit so his people stop threatening to blow up schools and hospitals?
You made your own bed, now you have to lay in it while curled up in a fetal position with bucket to gather your tears. You're all a fan of bluster and bravado until the tables turn.
The shooter in PA and the wannabe shooter in FL weren't "left wing" or "right wing". They were both mentally disturbed individuals who had no business being around a pea shooter let alone an assault rifle. Someone should have thought long and hard before they decided to do away with any firearm regulations there were and go on to incite their followers to violence for the last 8 years. Suck it up buttercup. Your crocodile tears mean shit to me.

It's really incredible. I forget what show I was watching but they were talking about all the cross party endorsements and how they have never seen it on this scale before. Maybe one or two prominent people but never this many.
You'd have to assume that a bunch of others that are careful with their positions are going to join them on election day, if only to keep that menace out of office without losing his voters. I think it's a fools errand because if VP Harris wins, those hardcore magats will never vote again.
He's something alright. Though I picture him more as one of those basement dwelling biblical figures than the upper management type.
This dude reminds me so much of Pete that it's uncanny. Olive always knows more than everyone else and then if you dare prove him wrong he will block you just like he did to me when I called him out to which he had no answer for. It was easier to put someone on ignore than to admit you are wrong. LOL unless you're Janice. She's the only one I've seen so far that can get away with correcting him without getting the silent treatment. At least he stopped jabbering on about eating cats and how it's a regular staple of the Haitian diet (false). Once she stepped in and made him accidentally admit that he's eaten guinea pigs, all the chatter ceased. It was classic, right up there with the night he was giving all of us what he thought was a lesson on possessive and plural nouns.
This little whack a mole game of "guess where I live" is only meant to stroke his own ego, to make him feel superior to everyone. I'm kind of glad he has me blocked because I can talk shit behind his back right out in public from now on and he can't defend it.. 🤓
HHmmm....
Local paper Springfield Sun-News reported that city leaders were investigating the influx of migrants, suggesting local businesses knew the new arrivals were coming but the city wasn’t notified. As a result, officials were unable to create infrastructure to support adding 20,000 residents over five years.
https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/residents-springfield-speak-immigrant/
--or--
In 2014, the city began the "Welcome Springfield" initiative to attract immigrants in an attempt to improve the local economy.[29] Haitian immigrants arrived in Springfield in 2018 and later.
Who was President from 2017-2021, I wonder? Who was the Governor of Ohio from 2018 until present that never mentioned a crisis until last week when he saw an opening for a political shot at the White House?
Lots of other interesting tidbits can be found here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield,_Ohio
Oh, and who is their senator since 2023 that has never mentioned anything about a problem before last week? Then admits on national TV that he and his running mate are just making shit up to help their campaign while endangering the lives of everyone in the town with multiple bomb and shooting threats to schools, hospitals and city hall? Do you know this racist clown?

yep, lots of questions. As far as the backpacks go, someone mentioned that they are probably the type which parents buy for their school kids that contain ballistic ceramic tile, in case of a school shooting.
He had them hung on the fence as a barrier to stop return fire and might have stopped the secret service bullets.
It'll be interesting to find out when and how he got from Hawaii to Florida, where he got the weapon or if he checked it in for his flight. He had to scope out that spot previously in order to plan what we think he was planning.
They are saying now that he had over 100 criminal charges in his past, mostly in NC.
no doubt he had something else on his mind...... it's an AK style weapon though not an AR.
It was stated in the press conference. The witness called the cops and gave them the picture of the vehicle and the license plate. The police were able to find the vehicle through their camera system. Since he got stopped on the interstate where the speed limits are 70 already, it makes sense that he got 45 miles away in the time it took to track him and make a physical arrest.
At least this guy is alive and will have a story to tell. Hats off to the witness who saw the guy running from the bushes and was able to capture it on video or still shots, otherwise the guy who was preparing to shoot would be in the wind right now.
The thing about everyone shooting through a fence has me a bit puzzled but hopefully more details will be released. That is a world class golf course and normally the fences that surround tracks like that are either solid or chain link with opaque covers on them that you can't see through. I've never fired a rifle with a scope but I would guess that a chain link fence in the way would make it really hard to focus on a target with one.
Hey Einstein, can you show us all a link to a credible source that gives the actual number of Haitian migrants that have come to Springfield, when the migrations started and why?
For bonus points, I challenge you to find what the population there was before everyone started leaving because factories were being shuttered.

LOOLOLLOLLOL Yeah, it's probably not a good idea but that would be soooo funny. Hopefully you'll be able to watch them sulk all winter, which would be the gift that keeps on giving well past the holidays.
I listen to Preet's podcasts every once in awhile. The one he does with Joyce Vance is pretty good. They both can dip into some hot political cases while being completely impartial.
LOL good stuff. It never gets old.
I think it would be worth it to dust Preet Bharara off and take a fresh look too. He was a great prosecutor in New York until trumpty had him kicked out so Rudy could run amok investigating Hillary.
Elie Mystal weighed in on this subject a couple weeks ago..... He had some good choices.

I could give a shit about that guy. Only blithering idiots buy into the garbage he sells.
What did catch my eye though is that the dotard still uses the Presidential Coat of Arms in his correspondence as a private citizen. At first I thought that was an old video because of the seal on the envelope and letter but when I froze it and zoomed in as far as I could on the envelope, I could make out "Palm Beach, Florida" in the return address.
He's not supposed to be able to do that, but like everything else. Laws and traditions don't mean shit to him. Like taking nuclear secrets home to show to all his dictator friends.
Yes, because every Russian asset when caught by the FBI just says, "yeah folks, they got me. I've been paid millions of dollars by the Kremlin to repeat their propaganda to all you dupes. I hope they will still let me do my podcast from Leavenworth".

HHmmm. 1980-2011 you say? All the Dems fault you say? Should we break it down even further and see who controlled congress in those years as well, or can I let you do that for yourself to save you even further humiliation?
It's really not if you've done it numerous times. I forgot to add painting the half walls and ceiling while the other stuff is going on too. The space is so small it should take no time at all and there's already a few coats of marine primer on the walls and ceiling so I could paint a couple finish coats before I start running the tile. Paint dries so quickly these days that I wouldn't have to wait for it as I start the tile, working from the bottom up. It'll be wipeable and waterproof in less than an hour incase I get crazy with the tile adhesive.😎
I already have the floor tile, toilet and sink here. Waiting for the other stuff to go on sale and I'm kind of undecided on exactly what I want to do with the shower and walls without going too crazy. I check around once a week or so to see if anyone returns stuff like custom vanities that catch my eye. The stores usually wind up selling them for half price or less. I saw one about a month ago that was really sharp but it was about an inch too wide and would have crowded my toilet or my shower so I'm still on the hunt.
not really, it's only a 5x8 space and I know a lot of tricks to be able to temporarily install the toilet while the tile cures and during the demo. My buddy will come by and help do the demo and install the tile floor on day 1. I have an advantage because I can shower at work so I can grout and get the floor and the new fixtures squared away on day 2. Then I'll have to wait for my next 2 days off work to do the shower.
I've been tossing around the idea of tiling the walls outside of the shower halfway up so if worse comes to worse I'll do that when I do the floor. That's just so I can set the vanity and the toilet permanently after I grout. So I figure about 4, 4 1/2 days of total labor but the days might get broken up over a week or two depending on my work schedule which always fluctuates.
Yeah definitely. I mean, I keep my tub clean but it's made from PVC and its 32 years old. When I installed it, it was gloss white and now its almond colored, inside and out. I was willing to sacrifice quality for price back then. LOL actually I didn't have a choice, we were just starting out and needed a new bathroom, among other things, before we could move in so we were paying the mortgage and renting a condo for 5 months before I could finish all the band aids after work and on weekends. My skills were still somewhat limited. I've honed them quite well since then.
I'm going to do it again this winter or next spring. I'm slowly purchasing everything I need for the job. Material prices fluctuate and I pick and poke through my list waiting for things to go on sale. Then, I store them in my spare bedroom until it's all there and I'm ready to roll. I need the job to go quick because I only have one bathroom.
shorter synopsis, same effect.☠️

Well, I'm the last one to comment on someone's personal relationships but I do fault him for not going to Springfield and getting to the bottom of that whole mess. He is still their Senator and has full access to anyone he needs to talk to in government, local businesses and law enforcement. Show the proof of what's happening to your constituency for them and for the rest of the country already.
They had multiple bomb threats there today and the Haitians are afraid to go outside. Is that how he wants people to live in a state he represents and will hopefully have to go back to after they lose the election?
good job JD, you really gave those people who have spent their adult life around and in the markets a lesson. Whoo boy, Peter Thiel has groomed him well. He lies with completely straight face these days and has no qualms about doubling down.
