    [Spokesman]: "Senator Rubio believes legalization of marijuana for recreational use is a bad idea, and that the states that are doing it may well come to regret it. Of course, states can make decisions about what laws they wish to apply within their own borders.” —Politico, Jan. 31, 2015

    “I’m against the legalization of marijuana.” —C-SPAN, Feb. 27, 2015

    It’s hard to believe with four states and DC with legal marijuana, and with as many as eight more states looking to legalize in 2016, that GOP candidates like Marco Rubio and Chris Christie would take a position that will ensure that they will never become President. It’s time for elected officials and candidates for office to understand that the marijuana voting bloc is powerful, and continuing to grow every day.

    It’s not about getting high. It’s about freedom, smaller government, and the economy. All issues Republicans say they support.
    Your never gonna find a candidate that ticks ALL your boxes. Rubio, however, with his anti gambling, anti gay, anti marijuana nonsense demonstrates he has crossed the line.

    Okay, let's consider his social positions somehow less offensive than other candidates. My biggest objection is that he is a textbook example of a professional politician swapping money for political errands.

    You might not be able to invite Trump home for dinner but he isn't a whore. That is so refreshing there is almost no sin he can commit that I won't overlook.

    LOL Annette O. The Venetian is still a good room though. In the the top three in Vegas.

    On another note, I heard on Fox Sports radio last night that Shady Sheldon wants to build an new football staduim at UNLV and is in talks to bring the Raiders to Vegas.

    Who is the manager of the Venetian Poker Room?

    I think I might have to call up and have a talk with them, and let them know about Annette's recent history of knowingly promoting scams.

    I already did my part in getting Russ Hamilton accomplice Bonnie Leinhos fired from her LVH poker room job.

    Basically I am going to try to get all scam site cheaters/accomplices fired from any new poker jobs they try to get.

    I was mistaken. Kathy left two years ago. It's leadership-by-committee currently.

    Annette O and Erica Lindgren will most likely have a 1-2 NLH 2-5 PLO running for the Venetian on Friday respectively.

    Oops! There it is! (The publisher fucking with potential coverage of himself after promising to not interfere with his newspaper's journalistic integrity.)

    http://www.capitalnewyork.com/articl...umnist-resigns

    Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John L. Smith resigned from the paper on Tuesday, after the paper prevented him from writing about casino owners Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson, whose family owns the Review-Journal.

    "In Las Vegas, a quintessential company town, it’s the blowhard billionaires and their political toadies who are worth punching. And if you don’t have the freedom to call the community’s heavyweights to account, then that 'commentary' tag isn’t worth the paper on which it’s printed," he wrote in a letter to colleagues, which he printed out and left around the newsroom.

    Smith was first told not to write about Adelson on Jan. 28, a person with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO. That's the same day that Craig Moon was named publisher of the paper and that the R-J eliminated its standing disclosure about Adelson’s ownership. (Smith did not respond to a request for comment.)

    The paper’s ban on Smith’s coverage of Adelson was not widely-known until Saturday, when R-J editor J. Keith Moyer defended it during an interview with Mary Hausch, a journalism professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, at a Society of Professional Journalists meeting. The interview was live-streamed on Periscope by a R-J reporter in the room.

    It's much worse than ever there.

    http://www.capitalnewyork.com/articl...tens-fire-staf

    The Las Vegas Review Journal, a prominent Nevada newspaper that's been in a state of tumult ever since its sale to controversial casino magnate Sheldon Adelson late last year, has now informed employees that they risk being fired for disloyalty.

    Las Vegas Review-Journal editor J. Keith Moyer allegedly threatened to fire disloyal staffers during an editor's meeting last week, where "the importance of company loyalty" was discussed, according to a note sent to editors at the newspaper. One week later, R-J features editor Stephanie Grimes was let go from the paper.

    Grimes, who was present at the editor's meeting last week, told POLITICO that Moyer ended the meeting by talking about John L. Smith, the former R-J columnist who publicly resigned in protest after being told that he could not write about casino owners Steve Wynn or Sheldon Adelson, whose family secretly purchased the paper in December.

    According to Grimes, Moyer said that his job was hard enough without R-J reporters and editors tweeting and retweeting critical comments about the R-J and Adelson. Grimes has been one of the most outspoken critics of Adelson's influence on the R-J, and she regularly live-tweets staff meetings at the paper.

    Following the editor's meeting last week, R-J office manager Patricia Rice sent an email to editors instructing them not to talk to their staff about what was discussed at the meeting.
    There's more detail in the article.
