    Not surprising. This sort of mismanagement tracks for a man who has bankrupted:

    • A shuttle company
    • Four casinos
    • Two hotels
    • A mortgage company
    • A steak brand
    • A travel agency
    • A university, and
    • A vodka brand

        It is probably not that the casino was run poorly

        It’s probably because Dump used it as a personal piggy bank.

        You invest 1M in my casino. I go launder that money. I file for bankruptcy. You get nothing, I get my reputation tarnished and 1M. Rinse and repeat.

        Those aren’t really comparable situations though are they?

        Scenario 1: a hurricane has wiped out a major city. As soon as the storm passes, US soldiers are sent in to protect property, distribute aid, and help with rescue and recovery. People want them there, and quickly, and so dealing with poor accommodations for a little while is acceptable to get faster response.

        Scenario 2: Peaceful protesters are exercising their constitutional rights in a major city. The Governor and mayor of the the city say everything is under control. They have police on site already, a highly militarized police force that has specifically and repeatedly trained for riot control and oppression keeping the peace during protests. Against the wishes of the local government and the people of the city, the military is rushed into place for optics and intimidation.

        You see, in that second scenario, the military’s presence is actually harmful and unwanted, so its good to point out how badly planned and rushed the deployelment is, because it was unnecessary and time wasn’t a critical factor.

        Things can be good or bad at different times, depending on the situation and handling.

    Well yeah, sleep deprived soldiers in pain will tend to be a tad bit more aggressive and less prone to doing things unconscionable to Trump, like thinking. . That’s what they’re looking for.

    See, Trump is a fucking moron. The Mustard Mussolini wouldn’t be able to figure out how to order at McDonald’s with a Kiosk.

    The bootlickers and Nazis he’s surrounded himself with however…
