    Word on social media is that Trump is to apply for a casino licence for his troubled Doral resort. That's the resort in which he proposed to host the G7 summit meeting. Except it would have been the G8 because he wanted to invite Russia against the objections of the other 6. The place was run down and he probably thought he could get it completely refurbished at the tax payers' expense prior to the meeting. Eventually it was made clear that this was all too corrupt even for him.

    One might wonder who the fuck would give a casino licence to a guy who has previously presided over multiple casino bankruptcies? Ron Desantis, Governor of Florida, Trump sycophant, and likely 2024 presidential candidate would.

    We'll see.

    Before he gets a Licence he would need to provide tax and financial accounts.
    but to make it happen in florida It looks like they even changed the state laws so he and another of the big republican contributors could get around the state laws on Casinos with the Indian Tribes.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...rida-desantis/
    https://www.tampabay.com/news/florid...urdles-remain/

    It would be interesting to see if the local tribes did a campaign similar to what he funded to stop Indian casinos
    https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-...nap-story.html
    All done in an apparent n an attempt to save his own failing Casinos



    I pay taxs 1.30.......LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLO

    What's funny is he might have won Arizona if he wasn't so anti Indian.
    they had a 25% increase in registered voters

    Only the best people...

    Senior Trump advisor Jason Miller allegedly got a stripper pregnant and subsequently slipped her an abortion pill without her knowledge. He has now sued a publisher who reported the story - and lost. I hope they get their money, because reportedly the only other thing he's famous for is not paying child support

    Trump took out a full page advert in the New York times calling for the death penalty for the so called central park 5.
    They have since been exonerated.
    Has Trump apologized to them and their families or admitted he was wrong? If course the thin skinned prick has not. He is incapable of admitting he was wrong. For some reason DL deeply admires this orange stained piece of shit.

    And at whose behest would the AG of NY and the Manhattan DA be doing this?

    Let's just throw a theory out - that maybe one of Trump's most Vocal critics during the Covid-19 issues in the US - might just happen to be the Governor of NY?

    There's some other stuff between the interactions of Trump and Cuomo that I could add in here - but this has all the hallmarks of a Witch-hunt.

    You missed the point, again. It was to show how one can file in a location that is likely to be the most sympathetic to your desired outcome.

    GOOD advice goes a long way to success.
    Sure - but here's the thing - literally every Political analyst on both sides of the Aisle regularly said that Trump should Tweet less. His Supporters on the other hand, love that he had a direct line of communication with them.

    I'm certain he has Advisors on all sorts - but if you look at some of the positions he's taken, where 'conventional' wisdom would dictate otherwise, he's done allright.

    Have you ever considered ... 99.999999% of people in the US do NOT want to be (or attempt to be) President ...
    If you offered the majority of people the chance to be the President, without going through all the ancillary stuff - basically, you get to be the boss - I think most would take the offer.

    I agree that a large proportion would probably shortly relinquish the role once they found out how demanding it is - but that's not what we are talking about here.

    The point was that in the rare company of Presidents and Ex-Presidents, Trump is even rarer still.

    Oh definitely he's had some bad calls - that's life, but to pin all of his success on the an implied legion of assistants raises 2 questions:

    1: If the Advisors he has are so good, why aren't they just doing it themselves and
    2: Even with the best advice, sometimes a good leader has to make the tough calls.

    Not really. My reasons for liking Trump have nothing to do with Charity or Philanthropy. Putting aside my general distrust of people splashing around cash in an effort to convince me of how good and noble they are, It's in my best interest to articular my position honestly.

    Quote Originally Posted by FJRider View Post

    That depends, I can think of many institutions that are nibbling on the hand that feeds - and almost all of them do so because of a Political agenda.

    Quote Originally Posted by FJRider View Post

    There have been many war-time leaders who have a very strong personal faith. There have also been people who derive from the Bible a strict sense of Pacifism - I'm reminded of the US Medic who got a MoH for such actions and never once picked up a Weapon.

    If you boil it down to the interpersonal level - If one was a christian and came across Someone sexually assaulting another - is it right to raise your fists? You can look to the story of Jesus and the Money Lenders to see that there is a precedent in the Bible for Righteous anger and violence - done on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves.

    Quote Originally Posted by FJRider View Post

    I can answer that in two ways - the first is the cop-out of saying 'just ask for forgiveness'

    The second is to reference the above - If the action is being taken on behalf of someone else, then yes, they could - so long as there were no Ulterior motives (War for Oil springs to mind)

    Quote Originally Posted by FJRider View Post

    In a legal sense - unless we've been convicted - absolutely.
    In a philosophical sense - Sure, I've done things in my past that I regret and from them I've learned lessons.

    That's all one can hope for really.

    If you cant tell the difference between being pro choice and pro-abortion you have a serious lack of cognitive function.
    This is backed up by the fact you missed the whole meaning of a woman's right to choose.

    Only in your befuddled mind. I didn't use anything to do anything, I just posted the story. Although I did mention that he is reputedly a dead beat dad.

    And thinking Trump is a dickwad doesn't make someone a leftist. Furthermore claiming the same person loves Democrats is equally flawed.

    You do realise that we dont live in the USA right? We cant vote in their elections.

    We just think Trump is a complete tosser.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
