2 Giuliani associates arrested on federal campaign finance charges

It means he fell for it. 50k in the terms of a statewide election is.... moreover, these are super pac donations. By definition the candidate has no coordination or ability to vet the recipt of donations.
Obamas 08 campaign had to pay roughly 2million dollars in fines. Hillary clintons founsation washed hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign donations.

If by "roughly 2million [sic]" you mean the Obama campaign paid $375,000 in fines levied over an administrative error, you are correct. Is that a number you got from another open source?

Doesnt change the fact that 50k in the course of a statewide election is not a signifiganb t number to seay anything.
So, so far, we know, at least according to the indictment, Parnas and Fruman were receiving money from a Russian businessman which was then used to make illegal US political campaign contributions.
And now today we find out that Rudy Giuliani received $500,000 from Parnas for "consulting."

And I'll save you some time, don't bother calling me a lib. I'm more of a conservative than anybody that's currently in the cult known as the Republican party.

left center moderate Republican party.
An oxymoron encasing a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Don't you mean a regressive? "Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something." --Plato

Oh my god... politicians are corrupt?
My mind has quite literally been blown. I can't even process this information.... our bastions of integrity and morality.... corrupt? THEM!? NO! Sigh.. it's better not to worry about this stuff - we can't do anything about it anyway.

Of all the characteristics you have observed and categorized in both, they look the same to you. You are essentially arguing that something does not exist. You are trying to prove a negative. a person can prove you wrong by simply demonstrating one difference between "the left" and "fascism". Not that you would care. Regardless of what such a person said to you, what difference they pointed out, you would say that it is a minor difference and that it doesn't matter to you if your mind is closed. But there are many differences. All of the fascists of the 1930s are dead now. The social context and therefore the ideology have totally changed. So what you're saying when you say " I see no difference" is either, "I don't want to see a difference" or "I haven't thought about these things very deeply at all".

Right and left are relative terms. they are defined in reference to the political center. But how do we define the center? it makes the most sense to define the political center in terms of all voters, not in terms of the personal philosophy of a random Star wars fan on the internet.

If you see no difference between, say, AOC and Joe Biden, you aren't looking closely, because you don't want to believe the truth.
