If he wins in Iowa, contact me if you'd like to prop on this. I assume you'll lay me very generous odds and I would be extremely willing to place a wager on this line with you.

Oh hi

...but winning free real $$. There are too many interests in this country that would be devastated if someone with his ideals became president to allow him to win. Seriously, no chance.

yes, interests like social welfare programs, fiat money and massive government debt

let's all hope for our generation's sake it happens! :-)

and are you willing to lay me 1 billion to 1 odds with monthly payments of 10% of your salary for the rest of your life or to 1 billion whichever comes first? if so, im willing to bet 1 dollar i think.

without actually reading any of this politard convo, i'm going to guess that goofy is saying a lot of intelligent things and karak is saying a lot of conservative party things. completely predictable.

I was thinking defense, actually. And yeah, I hope he wins, so I'd be happy to bet on it as it's win-win for me no matter what happens.

$i."quote here"

it's a win if he wins and you lose a billion dollars?

also lol at "conservative party." this aint euro brohan!

Karak, I'd like to think you're smarter than to do this stupid internet tough guy thing where one person says "there's no chance of x happening" and the stupid internet tough guy jumps in and says "LOL IF YOU'RE SO SURE THEN WHY WON'T YOU BET A BILLION DOLLARS AGAINST MY $1?"

I'd prob give you 20:1 on $50 or something, but if you want to quibble about odds then I'm not going to open myself up to a situation where I can lose a substantial amount of $ while realistically gaining nothing but the ability to act like I have a huge internet dick.

This doesn't change the fact that I think RP has zero chance of winning the Republican nomination.

i often rage about hte internet tough guy bet money thing. i thought it would be obvious when im asking you to bet a billion dollars i was using it coyly and not actually intending you to bet 1 billion dollars.

I guess I could bet you a billion dollars.

In other news, I have beaten my week-old personal record of hours worked in a week (72) with a new one (80)!

let me know when you break 100 then you can call yourself a man

Good assessment!

Anyway, now that you're done with this drive-by, I look forward to your next victim complex post.

I just realized that all of the posts made on 2p2 are all made by one brilliant master troll and me...

**** you for not posting anymore than this. Better be a good TR forthcoming.


Thank you. I feel honored.

Live poker might be rogged but was still +140 last night, but did spew a hundo at let it ride though

I had LASIK done on Thursday. Today's the first day I'm allowed to be on a computer or do basically anything else with my eyes. It's definitely worth it though. Really happy with it already.

Granted that he had truly no chance in 2008, when the GOP establishment laughed him off as a crazy old man and Fox News asked him questions like whether or not we should take our marching orders from Al Qaeda.

The tone has changed and he gets taken more seriously now. More importantly, this is a fairly weak field and the establishment doesn't really have a candidate that they're in love with. They ended up shrugging and rallying behind Romney last time as a last-ditch effort to avoid nominating McCain, but it was too late. And that's another point: the GOP establishment ultimately allowed a guy to be nominated just in the last election cycle who most of them don't like. He wasn't overly popular by any means (and honestly, around the time that he was getting hit hard politically for the failed McCain-Kennedy bill I would have declared him to have no chance either), but he had just enough support to slip away with the nomination win because nobody else was strong enough in the various Republican bases to stop him.

A perfect storm exists where RP can be nominated. I believe that. Naturally that still means it's unlikely, so I guess I might as well shut up about it now.

I want this technology to slow down, because girls look hotter in glasses.

finally found a good home poker game

They serve martinis there?

no. free food and beer.

What kind of rake are they taking for them to have margins that support free food?

time-- $5 every 30min. game runs for 9-12 hours. 2 tables. it's a 1/2 game but plays much bigger (someone booked a $2.7k profit last night) because some of these idiots literally shove all in, 100bb deep, without looking at their cards.

the food wasn't exactly straight from the four seasons. last night was pizza and some homemade pasta with meat. endless chips and bottled water tho.
