#barnsforbiden Medina county, Ohio!





Today the President shared a video of people shouting “white power” and said they were “great.” Just like he did after Charlottesville.

We’re in a battle for the soul of the nation — and the President has picked a side. But make no mistake: it’s a battle we will win.

Treacherous idiot reminds me a lot of someone else who's been on a path of personal & planetary destruction

Executed at the young age of 58 for..

Quisling was put on trial during the legal purge in Norway after World War II. He was found guilty of charges including embezzlement, murder and high treason against the Norwegian state, and was sentenced to death..

he founded the fascist party.. sound familiar?...

In 1933, Quisling left the Farmers' Party and founded the fascist party Nasjonal Samling (National Union). Although he achieved some popularity after his attacks on the political left, his party failed to win any seats in the Storting and by 1940 it was still little more than peripheral..

11. 'I am Quisling' - 'And the name?'

A 1944 cartoon in Sweden (which remained tenuously neutral and unoccupied during the war) indicates that Quisling had already made his name a byword for treachery. The caption reads:
“I am Quisling.”
“And the name?”

Then I scrolled through her twitter feed - it's by Lodi - locally infamous as the center of Klan activity in the county. (https://sundown.tougaloo.edu/sundowntownsshow.php?id=2684)

So seeing that Biden barn ... good sign.

I used to work in Medina, and I worked as an election observer in Medina for the 2008 election. Definitely Republican. Lodi is the far right extreme.

Used to go to Cavs games at the Coliseum, and that stretch just before you hit Richfield - through the National Park - is still scary, especially at night - and that had nothing to do with the people living near there, though Lodi is even further south. Spoiled living up north - didn't know the Klan lived so close. Or, hopefully, used to.

The stretch you're talking about between Cleveland and the Coliseum is populated by relatively friendly people (my inlaws grew up a stone's throw away - some still live there). I've ridden my bike on the Bike and Hike & Towpath trails in the area pretty late at night and feel relatively safe. (But I grew up in the wide open spaces in Nebraska so I'm used to really dark spaces). We used to make the same trek for the Force games.

When we moved from the Cleveland area to the Akron area that area was where we wanted to live (and realtors kept telling us we could afford it), but ultimately we decided that living between Akron and Cleveland was not a good use of our resources. Twice as much for half the space.

Not sure if the clan is gone - rumors still fly occasionally.
