    Not really true. Casinos need everyday gamblers. Everyday gamblers choose the closest option.  AC casinos have lost a ton of money since other options have opened up, and they were successful prior to that.

    I also think making it a year round destination was always going to be a tough sell. Its a summer beach town that is cold and dreary in other seasons.  Local corruption has very little to do with that.  The only truly "corrupt" thing is NJ law preventing casinos outside AC. 


    Yeah?  Well everything dies, baby, that's a fact.

    There is a rumor that Bloomberg is gonna drop out. 

     

    If he truly cared about America, he would have used that 500 million dollars to, I dunno, help the poor or something.  This was just vainglorious folly on his part.

    Well, he's got more Hispanic blood in him that Robert O'Rourke does.  But I guess a stooge for Biden gets a pass with you guys.  He's got Sephardic blood him, which is much more Hispanic than your false messiah, Beto.  But you guys go ahead and back Bernie and watch your party fuck it up and lose to Trump, the most vulnerable candidate in 1000 years.  I promise you, you're gonna fuck this up.  There's no way you can't.  Bloomberg and Biden are your best choices in OH, PA, WI, and FL.  But there's no way you don't fuck this up because 2020 is the year you decided you to re-do your interior.  Great idea.  



    What?   What does "hispanic blood"  (whatever that is) have to do with the ridiculous wrongness of his comment?  And absolutely nobody in this MICHAEL BLOOMBERG thread is referring to our "messiah,"  Beto O'Rourke.

    I was hoping somebody would notice.  Maybe I should have made the black dot bigger. Didn't want to disparage Houston/East Texas, though, since I know they aren't sheepfuckers.

    Probably asked for a big mac.



    If this election becomes McDonalds vs. Whataburger the Dems win in a landslide.

  6. Texas leads the way in closing polling places, with 750 of them being closed in eight years.  Upshot? It's getting harder and harder for minorities to vote:


     

    Quote

    On a local level, the changes can be stark. McLennan county, home to Waco, Texas, closed 44% of its polling places from 2012 to 2018, despite the fact that its population grew by more than 15,000 people during the same time period, with more than two-thirds of that growth coming from Black and Latinx residents.
     

    In 2012, there was one polling place for every 4,000 residents. By 2018 that figure had dropped to one polling place per 7,700 residents. A 2019 paper by University of Houston political scientists found that after the county’s transition to vote centers, more voting locations were closed in Latinx neighborhoods than in non-Latinx neighborhoods, and that Latinx people had to travel farther to vote than non-Hispanic whites.

    Some counties closed enough polling locations to violate Texas state law. Brazoria county, south of Houston, closed almost 60% of its polling locations between 2012 and 2018, causing it to fall below the statutory minimum, along with another county. In a statement, Brazoria county clerk Joyce Hudman said the closures were inadvertent, and that this would not happen again in 2020.

    It's parody. He's a comedian and that's his schtick. He's part of the Well Red troup

     

    The great thing is that he's trolled so many responders i.e. "Oh yeah?  Well you're a dumbass because that Sanders jersey was for Barry Sanders, the Detroit running back, and not Bernie Sanders.  You MAGA types are so dumb!"
