adios,

And fewer Presidents like Trump, right?

I'm almost hoping for a draconian crackdown on pot. I don't smoke, but I know a lot of Trumpkins do.

Bringing up P7.0 is lame and all, but to those who are fool enough to post in there, I want to mention that I like how those Trumpkins have to deal with spanky.

I know a Trumpkin who buys marijuana et al online and sells them to friends at a markup. This is a STEM guy who makes six figures at his office job. When he explained his setup to me, we had the following exchange.

Me: So, you're a drug dealer?
Him: No, no, man. No. I only sell to friends and acquaintances.
Me: You sell at a markup. You turn a profit.
Him: Well, I'm taking all the risk.
Me: ...
Him: It's not like I'm on the street corner.

I get along with the guy otherwise, and I don't really wish it on him, but I would have to lol if the Sessions squad came knocking on his door.

Other than DFS and maybe some horse racing and lottery, where can you easily gamble online in the US? DFS is teetering anyway, may collapse without any intervention at all.

Obviously I realize that Americans can get accounts on Bovada and ACR for pokers and 5dimes for sports, etc., but it's a pain and the transactions aren't fluid. The online gambling market in the US with the exception of DFS is still relatively barren and mostly prohibited compared to the rest of the industrialized world.

That is to say: what's really left for the American government to do to crack down on online gambling?

But the globalist plots strike at the heart of the cartoon industry too. Hanna Barbera exported most of its animation work to Taiwan, Korea and the Philippines in the 70s.

Could take people who bet $50 on a football game and prosecute them federally. The Wire Act has draconian penalties.
07-24-2017 , 05:32 AM
Right. There's the largely informal fantasy sports and sports betting and home poker game markets that I suppose Sessions could focus on. Still some uncracked skulls there I guess.
07-24-2017 , 05:38 AM
Sessions is probably in a regular poker game (probably one of the softest ones around). I think we all can understand these "crackdowns" wont be affecting suburban whites pot smokers, gamblers, or otherwise.
07-24-2017 , 06:12 AM
Rumors have it that tillerson is frustrated and might do a Rexit before year end. He was supposedly hoping to do at least a year in the admin but the sources are not surprised if he quits before that.
07-24-2017 , 06:35 AM
microbet,

We need more POTUS candidates that call working class white voters deplorable right?

PapaJohns branding to get the deplorable's votes bound to be a success.

@Lyin' adios: Here is the actual quote. Point out where she calls white working class "deplorables."

Quote:
You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people — now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.
As an aside, I haven't seen this quote since it came out. I'm struck now to think this was considered a gaffe when every word is correct. Half is easily fair. If you extrapolate the Trumpers here on 2p2 to the gen pop, it's definitely way more.
07-24-2017 , 06:57 AM
Remember Donald Trump is a slightly unpolished political incorrect bull in a china shop for tweeting hysterical racist fiction about black people being responsible for 81% of white homicides but Hillary Clinton is a dangerously offensive elite who sneers at people.

Bolded added. We need more Senators like Rand Paul.
poor rand couldnt have predicted it would result in regressive policies when he voted for a racist neanderthal to be put in charge of the justice department.

Hey! He's deeply troubled and concerned that the man he voted to be AG is doing exactly the things he said he would do if he became AG. We need more noble heroes like rand paul. If every politican was rand paul then sessions would have ... been voted in unanimously, but think of the levels of concern. Enormous.
07-24-2017 , 07:48 AM
Adleson was bankrolling Trump, so he def going to make sure online gambling never becomes a thing again. Other than that, I don't think anyone really cares about it except the evangelicals who are already in the Republican camp. Whereas the war on drugs is always popular as a means of locking up black people and keeping the prison industry happy.

I don't think I've ever seen any of the SMP crew respond to him or even acknowledge his existence, but damned if spanks isn't a loyal lapdog.

Sports betting and casino stuff is still a pita, but poker came back this year with EZ peasy Paypal deposits and cashouts.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/252/global-poker/

I think most of us missed it at first because we all stopped paying attention to poker, but it's about as easy to play as it ever was and the games are pretty good.

Yeah I forgot about Global Poker and I like, barely studied it, but isn't it still some sort of crypto currency thing?:

Quote:
Gold coins are used for play in tournaments and are credited to the player's balance, but can't be cashed out. The company gives away sweepstakes, or Sweeps Cash, that can be used in the poker room and withdrawn via PayPal as real cash prizes.
Never played or downloaded the client or studied it for more than 5 minutes but that still doesn't feel THAT fluid. Seems like a derivation on those subscription online poker clubs (e.g., ClubWPT.com) where everyone pays $50/month or something for tokens, the tokens are used to enter tournaments and then the payouts are cash, but it's ultimately a closed ecosystem and fish can't get money in and ergo there's no way to really profit long term.

Obviously here you can ostensibly deposit but just on very first blush it feels like the whole "buy our virtual currency where you play and win more crypto currency which is then exchanged for $wee$ca$h! which then you get actual money for!" is still a bridge too far for most people to really enjoy casually. I dunno, this is perhaps a very uninformed hottake but I think this model has been around for a while.

Not adios style this, adios style is to make some nonsense post(s) and disappear / ignore responses till the point is forgotten and strike it up as a win.
