It might shock you to hear this, but most here don't believe Trump is in the "up-and-up" either. Except maybe for a choice handful...like one hand...maybe if that.
We all know what we're dealing with these days.
Which shows you just how BAD a choice Biden is...

I will PM you some day. I'm in the process of selling my business so may travel to relax afterwards. You're a sharp guy even if misguided at times.

True. Very true. Trump has a lot of baggage and let's face it, he's a narcissist. Yet he's a damn sight better than brain dead Biden and giggles Harris. He has better policy thoughts than any dem. I could have really gotten behind Tim Scott, but his problem is that he is genuinely nice. You can't be nice in the current game being played. I used to like Nikki, but she showed herself as narcissist as well. I don't need a female Trump with fewer morals than him. She'd do anything for a dollar or vote. God, she disappointed me.

I still remember your Texas Hold 'em advice years ago. Pretty spot on. You must win a few hands.

Yeah...but I can't resist the lure of the baccarat pit. Luckily...I have my baccarat system almost worked out.

Her race card playing was as pathetic as it gets, she did not fly colors of her parents religious beliefs. She looked like a typical HS and College, girl her experiences of supposed racism sounded 100% fabricated. She is about the most light skinned Indian I have ever seen, maybe the AC repairman was her biological father.

I live in South Carolina, and was here when she was governor. I was floored when I found out she was Indian. WTF. She looks like any WASP shopping at Saks Fifth avenue. She can't spell racism let alone experience it.

I doubt she even suffered from imagined racism. Imagined racism is a serious issue in this country. For every slight act of racism there are probably 100 imagined ones.
When I was a young driver I was constantly harassed by the man. I was in Manhattan Beach Ca once and counted a cop follow me for 9 right hand turns, on the 9th one I stopped. My car was in pristine condition, so I passed all the BS safety inspections with flying colors and always kept my hands on the wheel until told otherwise. The dip shit asked why I stopped, I asked why he was following me. I had a keen eye, they would always try to hide in my blind spot and wait for me to get on it. My issue was driving a street legal Winston Cup Car, that with the gearing set up was capable of 185 MPH. I was not stupid enough to commit moving violations in the city limits that were crawling with cops.
Fast forward 30+ years on a slow cross country move I was stopped at least a dozen times with a packed SUV and or towing a trailer. Only once did a cop allude to why I was being stopped. That was an Arkansas State Trooper, he just said drug dealers usually don't bring their cat along, have a nice day! All the rest of them claimed I was weaving, changing lanes without signaling, blah,blah,blah. I strangely never got a ticket.
Moral of the story, today with the false narrative being pushed by the left of rampant racism in policing if a black person had my experience they would be yelling racism at the top of their lungs.
I strangely survived all those traffic stops without a scratch, or ticket, most have have been my white privilege. I am sure cooperating with the police no matter how annoyed I was had nothing to do with it. The stops when I was older annoyed me the most as I was trying to keep lowering the time it took to cross the USA.

Do you ever go to Laughlin? I stopped going to Vegas long before I moved east. I did do a lot of runs to Primm, Laughlin and Vegas were damn near the exact same distance down to a couple miles. I think Primm was 198 miles from the last place I lived in Riverside Ca. The places I went in Vegas just started getting stingy with the perks. Action that got all meals comped for my two friends and I with steak, lobster and crab in Laughlin earned a handful of drink tickets in Vegas. Primm would at least comp a room, Vegas never offered. In Laughlin I would have concierges come up to me and ask where I was staying, if it was at their hotel I would be given a room upgrade to a two room suite.
I was doing the big fish in the small pond act, then 2008 happened. I went from lighting cigars with $100 bills to not having two nickels to rub together.
