GoneOffShore was kind enough to post the text from the flyer on post 15.
Here it is...

BAD FOR YOUR BANK ACCOUNT!!
Project 2025 will:
* ELIMINATE the FDIC (which means your money is no longer insured or protected) - pg. 839
* Give HUGE tax breaks to the ultrawealthy & large corporations, at the EXPENSE OF THE WORKING CLASS (which will cost your family $2600
MORE/year than what you pay in taxes now) - pg. 696
* Change the 40-hour work week to a 160-hour work month (which means your employer can force you to work extra hours with NO OVERTIME PAY) - Pg. 592
* ELIMINATE veterans benefits - Pg. 644
A REPUBLICAN VOTE IS A VOTE FOR THIS FINANCIAL
NIGHTMARE.
The ONLY WAY to avoid this is to
VOTE DEMOCRAT!
The Reagan/Bush era Republican Party is gone: replaced by fascist Trumpism. This election is no longer about politics it's about protecting YOUR bottom line!

1. That is one amazing photo! Get the word out to everyone, and this is so effective.

I wonder who did this. I also wonder how long before someone takes it down?

Spread the word!

[StarryNite]

6. I don't know who did it but I thought it was a great idea.

Smart of them to post a flyer about how it will affect our money at a bank!
It probably lasted until the first MAGAt saw it.

[2naSalit]

12. I hope a lot of people...

Saw it and shared it!

[StarryNite]

56. Me too!

[AmBlue]

2. LOVE IT!!

[Hotler]

3. I see nothing. oh well.

[StarryNite]

4. For some reason it comes and goes when I look at it on my phone.

It's a flyer somebody taped to an ATM warning about how Project 2025 will affect our money. At the top it says "Bad for your bank account!! Project 2025 will:" Then it lists ways our money will be affected and says to vote Democrat!

[peggysue2]

5. Get the message out!

Anywhere, any time, any place.

Project 2025 is bad for every aspect of our lives. And yes, it will kill the economic growth that MAGA wants to deny.

Preach it!

[Maggiemayhem]

35. Write Project 2025 address on cash

[Think. Again.]

7. We need to make stickers by the hundreds!

Although I don't condone defacing bank property, but, STICKERS BY THE HUNDREDS!

[lastlib]

8. They didn''t actually deface the machine.....

although they did obstruct it somewhat. Big F'in deal.

Wish I could get a better look at that sign, I might reproduce it.........

[Think. Again.]

11. I'm gonna try to blow up the picture...

...and see if I can simplify the message, and make stickers by the hundreds!

[lastlib]

13. Thanks! n/t

[GoneOffShore]

23. I grabbed the text and posted it

[Think. Again.]

33. THANK YOU!

[StarryNite]

37. Great idea!

[Native]

9. PAGE NUMBERS FOR THE WIN!

I wish this happened more often. I mean who the heck is gonna comb through 900 pages to verify something.

[liberalla]

16. I agree! Page numbers are SO helpful!!!

[yonder]

18. Along those lines, this might be useful:

[Native]

21. i bookmarked that as soon as it was posted! made my day. thanks for reposting.

[onandup]

55. I don't think it calls for eliminating the FDIC or veterans benefits

I looked at the pages referenced and don't see it.

[lastlib]

10. And it doesn't even mention their plan to eliminate the CFPB.....

allowing the cost of credit and banking to skyrocket. Junk fees out the wazoo. Credit card interest rates to the moon. Reduced minimum payments to accrue more interest and longer repayment periods. Credit card tricks and bamboozlement with NO recourse. Probably more as well that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau guards us against.

[BComplex]

31. Democrats, up and down the ticket need to keep reminding people that Proj 2025 eliminates Soc. Sec, Medicare, ACA,

(Obama Care), Medicaid, and on and on. That, along with reproductive freedom, are the messages that will put democrats so far over the top, this election will (hopefully) change the republican party forever.

After all, "Everything Trump Touches Dies"

[Hotler]

14. There should also be a sign saying; "They'll steal your Social Security." nt

[GoneOffShore]

15. I downloaded the photo and grabbed the text -

I eliminated some of the spelling anomalies and did a little bit of formatting. The link does lead to the Republican cesspit that is Project 2025, so tread carefully.
I'll be putting this on Facebook and using it on some trolls.

[StarryNite]

17. Thank you!

I was in a hurry and didn't get the best picture.

[GoneOffShore]

20. I'm astounded at how good the software is at capturing text.

[StarryNite]

28. You did that with a software program?

That's awesome!

[GoneOffShore]

32. Downloaded the jpg and opened it with Preview - Apple's program for pdfs, jpgs, etc

It allows you to highlight text in a photo, copy it, and then paste it into a text file - an email, Text Edit, Pages, Word, whatever you choose.

[StarryNite]

39. I didn't know about that.

Good to know. That will come in handy.

[Linda ladeewolf]

19. I hope you don't mind

I copied this to my notes as a pdf so if the opportunity arises I can print copies as leaflets and leave them in places.

[GoneOffShore]

22. I saved a copy in Notes which syncs with my phone, so I can post it on FB.

No real point for me to print it out, as I'm living in France, and passing it out to visiting American tourists would be just a bit more than weird.

[Linda ladeewolf]

26. Just leave a

Few copies at the air port!

[GoneOffShore]

38. A thirty minute drive away, plus with the Olympics, the security folks are a bit 'edgy'

Some competitions are taking place in Marseille, with the airport halfway between where I live and there.

I saw an infantry team of Armée de terre (literally - Army of Land) Operation Vigipirate (anti-terrorist patrol) walking through Aix-en-Provence this morning while I was having coffee. We been seeing them a lot recently. Usually 7 with automatic weapons.

[Linda ladeewolf]

40. I would be jealous

I’ve always wanted to go to France, but I hate large crowds and prefer to watch it on tv or just listen to the reports. Not a people person or a public person, I guess.

[GoneOffShore]

41. Marseille, Paris, Lyon, and Toulouse are pretty big, but manageable.

Aix is small and easy.
Even with the music festival, which just finished, and has a lot of visitors, it wasn't bad.
This was taken in May -

[Linda ladeewolf]

43. It looks like fun.

What kind of music?

[GoneOffShore]

44. Opera, both classical and modern. Choral, orchestral, piano, small groups.

Here's a link to what was done this year - https://www.festival-aix.com/

[Linda ladeewolf]

45. It sounds

Beautiful! I like classical and folk, renaissance and alternative and some techno. I can’t understand the words in opera but I like watching it.

[erronis]

47. Merde, alors! I missed the festival. I loved Aix-en-Provence when I lived nearby

And Avignon, Arles, etc.

I took my daughters there back in the 80s and told them I would pay for a year at a French school (lycee or Uni) but they were too caught up in the US "scene".

[Hermit-The-Prog]

48. You've done plenty by getting and posting the text. Thanks!

[Native]

24. check out the line on veteran's benefits - says pig instead of pg.

[GoneOffShore]

25. Thank you- I'll edit

[Native]

27. no prob. its one of my superpowers. stuff like that just jumps out at me.

[Linda ladeewolf]

30. I edited on my notes

What software are you using to capture the text?

[GoneOffShore]

34. I used Apple Preview to copy the text from the jpg I downloaded.

There were some text errors, but I caught them

[Linda ladeewolf]

36. I just saved it to awesome note and edited there.

Then made a new pdf. I can print it off from the iPad. I have to do it in a simpler way, I’m not really skilled in using some of these apps.

[miss-nasty]

29. Beautiful work.

Many thanks!

[James48]

42. Dang!

I want that.

Can you print what it says? I can’t see well. I’ll make one if you can blow it up large enough to see. Thanks!

[StarryNite]

46. Scroll up to Post 15.

They were able to get the text from it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

49. You could edit the OP to include the text and link to reply #15.

[StarryNite]

50. That's a good idea. I'll do that.

[Beartracks]

51. Your bottom line: health, rights AND dollars!

[ecstatic]

52. Great job to whoever did that. I especially love that page numbers were included. nt

[StarryNite]

53. Yes the page numbers are really helpful.

[oasis]

54. Project 2025 is a horror story waiting to happen.

Get busy Democrats!

[Justice matters.]

57. K&R

So that's partly how the convicted felon wants to "fix" it (he'll just "sign" the Executive Orders as "official acts" and go golfing daily).

A chapter about eliminating the VOTE every four years (like FOREVER) by Executive Order signed as an "official act" is probably kept secret.

[StarryNite]

58. tRump is just their stooge. A mere clown puppet...

that attracts low intelligence voters. If he winds up back in the White House he will make appearances but he won't be making policy. The Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 will be doing all of that as they destroy our democracy.
