We need to build a wall around every voting station to keep out the Mammoliti supporters, and the morons of Ward 7 should pay for it. Some supporters, I assume are good people, but one less idiot in the council chamber will help make Toronto great again.

Probably too late, but any chance we can get a RIDE checkpoint set up in the vicinity?

Though what *may* be new is the depth and degree of it these days, and how it's palpably skewing overall life-expectancy figures downward.
(And IIRC an even more dramatic life-expectancy-collapse was reported in post-Soviet Russia--which even had its own Trump-esque politi-troll figurehead in Vladimir Zhirinovsky.)

Why would a man buy a one bedroom, one bath condo when he's married and has 2 kids?

“I’m talking about utilizing the tools at a federal level, the intelligence tools, that are able to tap into the network that our gangs have immediately. And also the laws, federal laws give certain access to our federal police department.”
Okay, now he's just making shit up. In that sense, he's like Trump in that he's just saying stuff about shutting things down, banning this and that, and just sort of assuming it's possible/legal/constitutional.
'Federal police department'? Really?

Maybe ... it's not for him ... but he stays there sometimes?

Actually, the white men are right. The women/blacks/immigrants, etc are the cause. That's privilege -- "they're taking our jobs." -- the belief that all the best things are yours by default and any deviation from that is wrong, and unfair. Their previous life expectancy was artificially high; it's reasonable for it to come down now that other groups of people are catching up (not saying racism & sexism are "over" but much better than it used to be). I'm sure slave owners had fantastic lifespans; all that harvest and not a finger lifted. Even less stressful when you don't have to pay the workers.
Now that they are competing for everything on a *somewhat* more level playing field, they are dealing with (a fraction of) the stresses and challenges that the other groups had all along. The trick is to convince them that this is actually fair... and that their previous standard was artificially inflated.

Ummm... that's satire, right? "Their previous life expectancy was artificially high." (?) Taking a privilege -- a real thing and a real problem -- and saying that it's 'good' that uneducated white men are now drinking themselves to death is pretty cruel. Hopefully we can get to a point where the privilege is gone but the happiness is back.

If you look at this tweeter's timeline and profile, it is apparent that he means either Robert Ford the U.S. professional golfer who won the Pennsylvania Open (amongst other things) or Robert Ford the U.S. former professional basketball player and now sportscaster, not Robert Bruce Ford the mean-spirited cretin.

This has circulated before. The Rob Ford from Toronto referred to in this real estate agent's blog is not Robert Bruce Ford the mean-spirited cretin from Toronto. The 'Ford family's' condos ("we have, like, six of them, I think," said Robbie on a U.S. sports radio talk show) are in Hallendale, Florida. There has never been an indication that Rob owns one. Rather, whenever he has been quoted talking about Florida he has referred to staying at his mother's condominium. The best that I was able to piece together in the past (it has been a while) is that Doug Ford Sr. bought a condo that Diane inherited, Doug Jr bought a condo and the 'family' (that is, a family-owned holding company, like the one that holds the shares of Deco, or a family trust) bought a few more that are rented out.

For real. I checked out a few pro-Trump Twitter accounts. The stuff they post is downright evil! Ford supporters are dumb and homophobic but seem to stop short of the over the top racist stuff you see Trump supporters post.

Not to mention the no doubt 1,000s of other Rob Fords not sufficiently notorious or worthy to earn a mention in Wikipedia. For instance, in Toronto alone:
I do find it somewhat delicious that, when ranked by relevance in 411, the mean-spirited cretin Robert Bruce Ford is second to last and Randy comes first.
