Today on Democracy Now it was mentioned that Trump would be meeting with casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, one of his biggest supporters, today. They played some really disturbing footage of Adelson saying we should explode a nuke in the desert in Iran to show our resolve.
Anyone know about this meeting?

because it will cut down on his profits.
Sheldon doesnt have enough profits, he is only worth billions and is only worth that because he is a RAT FUCK

I hadn't had the TV on in awhile but had it on last night when stuff was breaking and actually saw NJ online poker commercials throughout the CNN/MSNBC broadcasts (Philly covers the S. Jersey media market). Of course the caveat is that you must physically be in New Jersey to "legally" play this online, so if you are sitting in PA, you are SOL.
(but then we already have our own casinos and gambling, so some of this is to try to help AC recover from the loss of Philly-ites going down the shore to AC to their casinos).

garbage Scow named Adelson. This whole Iran thing was Sheldon's payback for the new Embassy in Jerusalem. BTW,bought and paid for by Mr. and Mrs. Aldeson.
