@Midnight1 I wish it would......but it won't. DOA. Because republicans will never, *EVER* pass a bill proposed by Democrats, no matter what. Dems could introduce a bill declaring REPUBLICANS should be awarded the WH and both chambers in Congress for the next 50 years....and as STUPID as it sounds, the dumbass republicans would actually vote AGAINST that for no other reason than the bill was proposed by Democrats....
Thank you Midnight and Fubah. Both are correct.
I wish we didn’t have professional trolls who hate us in power, but unfortunately that is the case

“If you’re asking me how it got in there, no, I don’t know,” said Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley during an interview on Tuesday.
Texas Senator John Cornyn admitted, “I don’t know anything about it. I’m not sure what it does.”
“I was so focused on Medicaid, I wasn’t looking for other reasons to be against the bill,” said North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis, one of just three Republicans to vote against the bill. “But that would be another one.”
These fucktards & many many others don't read the bills they sign, they don't ask any questions & depend on aides to provide them summaries.

Remember when they were mad that Democrats forced staff to read the entire bill out loud, because it would delay the Huge Terrible Bill’s approval? Morons

Most Democrats feel FDR was a great President......yet he was racist .
President Roosevelt's executive order in 1942 that ended up rounding up and forcing more than 100,000 Japanese Americans into prisons during World War II is arguably the most racist executive order in American history (He thankfully spared German and Italian Americans from the military prisons, but that showed his racism).

it’s ok folks, just because Sarasota Slim celebrates racism and lawbreaking doesn’t mean that he is correct.
It just means he’s a lawless racist. And that’s ok for us to call an apple an apple, or an orange an orange. Gotta call em like we see em, and here he’s just celebrating racism on the record.

Update: Senate Republicans screwed over gamblers again last week by killing efforts to undo the unprecedented tax on income that was never earned. Don’t worry though, MAGAs will try to change the subject in this thread, which means that the problem no longer exists.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked an attempt to reverse a little-noticed provision from their tax and spending cuts law that professional gamblers warn could be the end of their industry.
Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada sought unanimous passage of a bill that would roll back the change on gambling tax deductions, but Republican Sen. Todd Young of Indiana objected, stalling the proposal for now.
The emerging fight over the gambling provision is likely only the beginning of the fallout from the new tax law and its impact on the country. Spanning more than 900 pages, the bill signed into law by President Donald Trump last weekcontained a slew of provisions changing federal programs and the tax code, many of which lawmakers admit they are only now beginning to fully digest.
“My understanding is many Republicans, many Democrats did not even know it was part of that process,” Cortez Masto said of the gambling provision.

Like I remember when Black Friday happened, I was on 2+2 and here and people were up in arms. Now the MAGA cowards are happy to try to celebrate a tax hike on income THAT DOESN’T EXIST.

What action was taken by the GOP today to undo the unprecedented tax hike on gamblers?
Nothing, because they would have to be subjected to a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Trump doesn’t want to release them, and the GOP bootlickers are too scared and spineless to vote yes to release them, so that means that nothing happens. Thanks for nothing dotards!

all I've read lately is how bad Vegas is struggling, the Wynn was the only one not in the red...then you read this
Data from the NJ DGE showed that total gaming revenue — comprising casino win, internet gaming, and sports wagering — reached $581.6 million in June, compared to $491 million in June 2024. Year to date, revenue totaled $3.32 billion, up 8.5% from $3.06 billion in the first half of 2024.
Atlantic City’s nine casino hotels reported a combined in-person casino win of $259 million in June, up 6.1% from $244.1 million in the same month last year.

Trump's attacks on tourism are now hurting Vegas regulars, who are seeing a 50% decline in tourism revenues. Oh well, at least gamblers get to pay tax on nonexistent income! Genius!

No offense to you guys - but Vegas hasn’t been relevant for 10-15 years (apart from when it hosts WSOP) - “normal” foreign gamblers that want to earn a shit ton of money goes to Macau - not only don’t you risk getting shot in a random shooting or being harrased by some homeless dude (like in Vegas) - there they also allow big money wagering - without you giving them every information about you and your family history - and you can live there for a month cheaper than a week in Vegas - of course now it is at its peak in downtrend cause now not even the Canadians can be bothered coming

Ohh and natural blackjacks in Vegas pays 6 to 5 - where it pays 3 to 2 in the rest of the world and roulette has two or THREE zeros in Vegas - where in most other places it has 1 and I could literally go on until Christmas - Vegas in its current state only appeal to idiots - but is priced as it appeals to rich people = it only appeals to rich idiots
