Ever see "The Princess Bride"?

“I do not think that word means what you think it means”  Inigo Montoya

 

The verb 'eschew' is usually used with a direct object, but can also be followed by a gerund (an ing noun).

You have to eschew something.

Like: It is wise to eschew the use of words you don't really understand

Ah, the classic Princess Bride line—nicely done, indeed! And you’re absolutely right.
 

"Eschew" does require a direct object; it’s all about avoiding or steering clear of something specific, and in this case, it’s as nonsensical as most of his posts.
 

So yes, it’s wise to eschew tossing around big words without knowing their meaning.
 

In this case, maybe they should eschew trying to sound intellectual—which, as we both know, is beyond their ken.

Most of the people on here are too young to have experienced what the word fascism means. Way too many sloppy, uneducated references being made to one person or another being 'fascist'. 

Meanwhile, as of mid-day Thailand time, it begins to look like an easy win for Donald Trump in the current US general election.

An uncharacteristically bad take. 😞

Extraordinary comment. See a doctor....

I care not who sups and beds at the White House; I care not for whatever wars that continue waging. My only care is that my portfolio of globally diversified investments keeps marching towards the moon - Blue house or Red house, makes no difference to me.

 

Let the animals destroy themselves.

 

 

Regardless of the outcome I feel confident, having read the many posts on here, that the winners will be gracious in victory and the losers will be dignified in defeat...........🤭

Fat chance, it will be 6 moths crying about the irrelevant popular vote again

Who is the fascist? Maybe the haters will eschew their usual ad hominems and deflection and comment on this:

A vote for the Dems is a vote for fascism.

 

More a vote for communism, she gets it from her Marxist daddy, who live in Washington as well.

How sad.....less than a minute since my post and my hopes and dreams are dashed.

Forecast in the US election is now that Trump will win over 300 electoral votes and, on a separate issue, Republicans will gain control of the Senate.

Trump is currently leading in the popular vote.

Pretty odd thing to say. If you were genuinely knowledgeable about investment, you would know that the outcome of this election matters greatly to your blah-blah portfolio.

Vote:  US has some of the most illogical electoral and government processes and systems.

 

The Senate and House Candidates should be voted on 6 months before the Presidential election.

Who controls the House and/or Senate will help in deciding what changes could be made.  The whole campaign on what they will do and what they can do without the house and Senate are different.

 

The out of date, archaic, burdensome, flawed, lobbyists, etc, is responsible for some of the long term problems we have today (National Debt, Social Security, Taxes, Amount of Foregn Aid, Military Spending)  enough to make a grown man Cry.

Do you want to pay higher taxes? Do you have any idea how much it costs to run a national election?

A salient feature of fascism is its demonization of minority groups. Immigrants, Haitians, Puerto Ricans, LGBT, etc. Just like Hitler demonized Jews and gypsies, "poisoning the blood of our country". History repeats itself.

 

Immigrants: you left out the key, game-changing word: ILLEGAL. Most Americans -- including Trump -- love immigrants (literally, in his case, and mine). Invading armies of migrants are not "immigrants".

 

Haitians: Trump actually said something like "the country of Haiti is a <deleted>hole". (Do you disagree?) That's quite different from "demonizing Haitians".

 

LGBT: don't confuse "hatred" and "not being at the top of the national agenda". They're emphatically not the same thing. I'm sure there are people who hate people in the LGBT community but Trump isn't one of them and neither are any of the MAGA people I know.

 

The tired Hitler trope is offensive. The only president that's ever thrown Americans in concentration camps was a racist Democrat. And today, it's the left that believes Republicans supporters need "re-education" (marxist dog-whistle for concentration camps).

 

Moral of the story: don't believe everything you read on MSNBC, NY Times, or Mother Jones.

Will the Dems/ Harris concede the election?

Dream on. I have no intention of being gracious, after 4 years of abuse from Biden/ Harris supporters.

You surprise me....555

I reckon Putin will get the first go at Uncle Sam. Bend over and pound. Then Celestial Emperor Xi will want his turn. All the while Donald proclaims, Peace in our Time.

It's what the people want. Hope they enjoy the show.

 

 

Question for those that believed the polls.

How did they get it so wrong?

I doubt many poster here thought different. Fascists do what fascists got to do. Its part of their nature.

Nah - she needs the Democrat election workers to drag out the boxes of pre-marked Harris ballots and start running them though the ballot counting machines after midnight in the US swing states.

In other news: Republicans take both the House and Senate.
The good news for Leftie forum members?  You don't have to leave the United States if Trump wins - you're already gone!  But maybe Thailand will see an influx of a few hundred thousand Democrats from CA, WA, and OR.  Ya'll will have more drinking buddies.

Polls by the main-stream, "Most-Trusted-News Outlets" which are the "only source of true information on the web" according to some folk?  Biased to the far-left, like those who believe that they are the "only source of true information on the web."

If you want a patina of accuracy, look at the betting odds where people actually have skin in the game.  Can a long-shot win?  Of course.  But the betting market more accurately reflect monied interests who study odds and risk.
