You are wriggling a little bit. The presumption is that there is no downside for you. Not even wet clothes. Say all you had to do was throw them a life preserver.

A note that the referendum Trump is referring to specifically removes checks and balances and allows Erdogan to function even more as an authoritarian dictator. Also there are a lot of rumors flying around that the election wasn't totally legitimate.

Its completely insane that anyone would think I want an online gambling ban.

I would note though that rep lol posted a few years ago that he was appalled at the idea of torture EVEN IF it was only applied to murderers and EVEN IF it was certain to save future innocent lives. So what if torturing these ladies saved online poker?

This push for a poker ban what completely predictable, in fact, it was predicted in this very thread. Nonetheless you did, and still do, full throatedly support Trump and everything he does which makes your claims of insanity ring completely false.

I'm still giving myself credit for pointing to the bleachers and calling my homerun, Babe Ruth style.

Ah, I misread it and thought you were calling his post a babe ruth style post rather than your predicting it.

I don't believe DS is a full-throated Trump supporter. Now Mason is a different story for sure.

Yeah, which part? I don't know if Sklansky supports Trump with his full throat or not. Poker ban was completely predictable with Republicans in control though.

The poker part but Sklansky is obviously a huge fan of Trump as well.

DS doesn't support Trump full throatedly or otherwise. That is completely obvious from his posting.

Breaking: Voters’ personal data at risk in Cobb theft
http://www.ajc.com/news/state--regio...qLG4ip4snYLwO/

Quote:

State officials are investigating the theft last week of equipment from a Cobb County precinct manager’s car that could make every Georgia voters’ personal information vulnerable to theft.

The equipment, used to check-in voters at the polls, was stolen Saturday evening, Secretary of State Brian Kemp said Monday.

Cobb County elections director Janine Eveler said the stolen machine, known as an ExpressPoll unit, cannot be used to fraudulently vote in Tuesday’s election but that it does contain a copy of Georgia’s statewide voter file.

“We have managed that so that what’s stolen could not impact the election,” Eveler said.

While the file includes drivers’ license numbers, addresses and other data, it does not include Social Security numbers, Eveler said.

But, she said, “the poll book that was stolen did have a flash card with a voter list on it. But, it does require some knowledge or expertise to use machine to retrieve the information.”

Cobb County Police and the State Election Board are investigating.

Kemp said it was “unacceptable” that Cobb officials waited two days to notify him of the theft.

DS gets off asking moronic questions.

His threads are group orgies for mental masturbation. Except now they've become so weird that people begrudgingly attend as to not upset him.

“My feeling is if you can't heal the sick, we don't call you doctor,” Bill Walsh, The Washington Post's late, great copy chief, told the Los Angeles Times in 2009

If I'm understanding the rules for copy it's

A medical doctor is a doctor.
Dr. Dre is a doctor.
Dr. J is a doctor.
A doctor of philosophy is not a doctor.

So it turns out that if Gorka wanted to be called Dr. Gorka in print, he should have either acquired a medical degree, or taken a stage name of Dr. Gorka while attaining any level of education other than PhD.

David just once instead of asking questions in a transparent attempt to expose some imagined hypocrisy by someone on the left, have you ever asked yourself how you got something so important so wrong? All that **** about Trump the 12th dimensional chess player, all that **** about how he would use his Business Friends to Make Good Decisions, all that **** about he would want his legacy to be a good Presidency.

Instead the Trump administration is pretty much exactly as predicted, a clownshow whose jawdropping evil goals are thwarted by their own immense incompetence.

Marker down: Should the Trump administration successfully push through a comprehensive online gambling ban Sklansky's response will be some ****ing DUCY? about how decreased online practice may increase profitability of live games or something.

It emphatically will not be actual principled opposition, and that ban will not produce a vote for Trump's opponent in 2020.
