    But he doesn't. Do you have any proof he's done anything illegal or unethical?

    John Kasich comes out looking good, too.

    Note to the Trumpers. Smearing the Khans is a loser except among you losers. Do you want to win, or do you just want to vent? I think I know the answer to that.

    So you think the recent cop killers were conservatives? What would you assume their thoughts to be on Keynesian economics? Do you think Obama's tepid (at best) support for Israel was a driving factor in their disillusionment?

    Related, how do you know some of those Trump supporters are not registered Democrats? Do you have proof they are not? Can you produce evidence?

    You said you unfriended this person because "everything was a lie." That's patently false. If you're going to get on your social media high horse, don't be so forceful in your wrongheadedness.

    Trump Taj Mahal Is Closing. It Is a Perfect Metaphor for Trump's Disastrous Candidacy.

    "The story of the failure of Trump Taj Mahal, it has been noted by multiple commentators, is a perfectmetaphor for Trump’s presidential campaign. As Jay Cost of the conservative Weekly Standard wrote last week, “[Trump has] made grand promises, but look closer and you'll see the whole thing is a scam.”

    "Trump himself left the hotel behind years ago, though, having seen it turn into one of the great financial albatrosses of the city. The project took on more than $820 million in debt to be built and maintained, including $675 million in junk bonds. As the New York Times reported in an extensive June profile of the property, one casino analyst argued at its opening that the Trump Taj Mahal would have to make of $1.3 million a day—a record at the time—just to break even. Trump demanded that the analyst’s company fire him, which it did.


    The enormous debt Trump took on was used to finance grotesque opulence. The hotel featured $14-million worth of Austrian crystal chandeliers, nine two-ton Indian elephants made of carved stone, 12 restaurants, a 5,500-seat arena, doormen dressed in flowing purple robes with feathered turbans, belly dancers in the lobby, and a convention center and a casino the size of four football fields. Michael Jackson was brought into attend the grand opening, footage of which you can watch here:


    "This building is a winner, and it's going to be a shot in the arm for Atlantic City," Trump said at the grand opening with the “Star Wars” theme playing in the background."

    Nobody – not me, not anybody – has been arguing that the recent cop killers were conservatives. So I feel zero need to "defend" an argument that I didn't make, haven't made, and have no intention of making.

    You, however, have stated flatly that "disgruntled liberals kill," and implied that recent cop killers are active supporters of the Democratic party. (Actually, you never answered that question directly, so let's drop that last one.) Yet you presented no evidence of the argument that you made, despite repeated direct questions.

    Do you genuinely not see the difference? There's really only two scenarios I can see here – you can't see the difference, or you can but don't care to be honest about it. Neither is a great look IMO. But hey, maybe that's just me.

    The owners of the Revel thought it also was going to be a winner.

    Sunshine, a not insignificant percentage of cop killers have been sovereign citizen loonies and other loony right types. Most of course are just criminal losers of all races, creeds, etc. You want to meet apolitical people? Talk to crooks.

    "Liberal" and "Democrat" are not interchangeable.

    That is true. There are a few decent Democrats.
