Nah, it's that you are supposed to debate generalities with specifics. You didn't do that. It's like what Dirty B. does; baits a specific so he can poo poo it. See it all the time with the uber libs here, never offer a solution to anything, but once you offer one, they wake the fuck up to stamp down any reason to not just burn billions of dollars trying to solve a systemic problem of burning billions of dollars to fix problems.Comments
rum dick: so is making absurdly incorrect statements but hey we are just bullshitting on a poker forum so it's all really nonsense in the end
The reason why I have a reputation that high and yours is not has a correlation that you will never figure out. But until you do figure it out; you will continue to think that somebody owes you something, that the system is rigged against you, that you need government to fix what you can't figure out and blame literally everyone under the Sun for your problems except looking inward at the actual problem.
Keep making people rich who tell you that you're a piece of shit and you can't survive without them. They love spending your tax money.
Are you fucking kidding me? Lenin OK'd thousands of executions, including the Romanovs. He just didn't live long enough to abuse his power as egregiously as Stalin and Mao. In fact, his brand of Marxism set the ideological stage for power-mad "communists" like Stalin and Mao -- and even as recently as Pol Pot -- to sanction so many extrajudicial killings.
This should put PFA in full revolt:
Sheldon Adelson Is Poised to Give Donald Trump a Donation Boost
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/14/us...rump.html?_r=0
The casino magnate Sheldon G. Adelson told Donald J. Trump in a private meeting last week that he was willing to contribute more to help elect him than he has to any previous campaign, a sum that could exceed $100 million, according to two Republicans with direct knowledge of Mr. Adelson’s commitment.
As significant, Mr. Adelson, a billionaire based in Las Vegas, has decided that he will significantly scale back his giving to congressional Republicans and direct most of his contributions to groups dedicated to Mr. Trump’s campaign. The two Republicans familiar with Mr. Adelson’s plans spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Mr. Adelson’s pledge to Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, comes at an opportune time. Mr. Trump has relied on a mix of his own wealth and small-dollar contributions to finance his primary effort and lacks the sort of major donor network needed to sustain him in the general election. Mr. Trump has said that he may need $1 billion for the campaign but has only recently begun scheduling fund-raisers and hiring finance staff members. Many of the Republican Party’s wealthiest contributors, including the billionaire brothers Charles G. and David H. Koch, have indicated they are unlikely to give to his candidacy.
What remains unclear is how Mr. Adelson plans to contribute his money to Mr. Trump. He will give the maximum allowed to Mr. Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee, but to spend the amount he contemplates would require donating through a “super PAC,” able to accept unlimited donations.
According to the Republicans familiar with Mr. Adelson’s planning, he and his advisers are still uncertain about which super PAC to use as their vehicle for the bulk of the contributions. They are wary of some of the current groups that purportedly exist to help Mr. Trump, who has been clear that he is uneasy with outside entities promoting his candidacy. At rallies, he has consistently criticized opponents who relied on super PACS, saying they were being bought by wealthy donors.
Mr. Adelson, 82, the chief executive of Las Vegas Sands, is among the world’s wealthiest individuals and has given hundreds of millions of dollars to Republican candidates and causes over the years. In 2012, he contributed at least $98 million to Republican efforts, according to a study by ProPublica. But that money went to 34 separate campaigns and groups.
Mr. Adelson is frustrated by congressional gridlock and believes the only way to affect the country’s political system is to ensure a Republican president is elected, say the Republicans familiar with his thinking.
While he may help some local or gubernatorial candidates, he is not planning to give much to congressional candidates or super PACs dedicated to keeping Republican control of the House and Senate, a substantial blow given the largess he has showered on them in recent elections.
Mr. Adelson and his wife, Miriam, met with Mr. Trump and his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, at the St. Regis Hotel in Midtown Manhattan while Mr. Adelson was in town for a gala dinner to benefit the World Values Network, an organization dedicated to disseminating Jewish values in politics, culture and media. The two moguls, who do not know each other well, had met earlier in the campaign.
But their conversation last week marked the first time they had talked in person since Mr. Trump effectively won the nomination this month.
Mr. Trump assured the Adelsons that he was dedicated to protecting Israel’s security, an issue about which the couple are passionate.
The Adelsons contributed to Senator Ted Cruz of Texas during the Republican primaries, but kept a far lower profile than they had in 2012, when Mr. Adelson was a major benefactor of Newt Gingrich. Mr. Trumphttps://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/653884577300267008 on Twitter in October, writing that Mr. Adelson wanted to make Senator Marco Rubio of Florida “his perfect little puppet.”
But Mr. Adelson was plainly not bothered — or he at least forgave Mr. Trump. He told reporters last week he would get behind Mr. Trump and wrote an op-ed article in Friday’s Washington Post extolling his fellow casino owner.
“He is a candidate with actual CEO experience, shaped and molded by the commitment and risk of his own money rather than the public’s,” Mr. Adelson wrote, adding that Mr. Trump “has created a movement in this country that cannot be denied.”
Wasn't happy reading this one bit but truth is Donald doesn't need Shelly's money to run.. Not sure if this is Adelsons attempt to somehow try to buy into Donalds good graces and then try and push RAWA but Trumps pretty Libertarian when it comes to Government overstep into peoples lives.. My guess is hes just as disturbed as most about Hillary winning the White House and is doing what he can to stop it. One thing Trump isn't is a sellout to somebody with money he doesn't need it.. Everything points to Trump not being one to even consider doing what Adelson wants which is a walkback on legalized online gaming in this country. Trump sees the tax dollars as a practical positive.
Have no idea where people come out with such thoughts. Trump has stated numerous times that he plans to increase government surveillance. He pretty much embodies the idea of big brother and consistently talks about increasing surveillance for homeland security.
That being said don't be surprised if he flip flops on this issue in future when his supporters actually start to research what he has been saying.

Well, I mean back in the day if you were involved in Casino businesses, people would assume that you are as crooked as they come. The thing is nowadays, and I know this firsthand, you have to really dot your I's and cross your T's when it comes to running a large scale gaming operation. So I don't think that he has skeletons in his recent portfolio makeup, but maybe it's that he scuttles stuff away in offshore tax havens, or maybe he didn't make a bunch of money this year so his net worth comes into question?
I think the the smelly turd in the room is when the gov insta audits some people like that's not discriminatory, because it totally is.
Wasn't half the point of trump's campaign that he didn't need outside money and outside "influence" to get the job done?
When faced with a difficult decision, ask yourself "What would Micon do?", then do the opposite.
