Marcos is just sad that it was a planned demolition and that his masked buddies weren't responsible for it while thousands of people were inside.



He's such an incompetent and corrupt person, nothing he does is legit. Bankrupted a CASINO. You have to be extra stupid to manage that.

I'm sure it would still be up and operational if Trump was able to lie and say he had Native American heritage like Elizabeth Warren.

White dudes can't make any money at casinos anymore. It's been that way since the late 80s/early 90s. Read a book.

Nope. His idiocy is what ran it into the ground.

What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenberg?

One was a flaming Nazi gas bag. The other was an airship.

Champagne opened. Enjoy!

Limbaugh sucked, sure, but no... not a Nazi.

Keep illustrating how much you hate the Jews though.

In 1992, four years after launching his nationally syndicated show, Limbaugh signed a new contract that tied his compensation to his show’s profits, predicting that he could earn as much as $5 million in 1993, according to Colford—who also reported that Limbaugh snagged a $2.5 million advance for See, I Told You So. These sums were a pittance compared to the eight-figure yearly salaries he would soon come to command. At the time, though, Limbaugh was setting new standards for what a political talker could earn. And plenty of other people decided that they wanted a piece of the action.

“I’m not sure where the business is going,” Bill O’Reilly, then co-host of the television program Inside Edition, said in 1993. “But my gut says it’s going in the direction of Rush, and, man, I’m going to be there.” That same year, at the beginning of See, I Told You So, Limbaugh extended “deep gratitude to my friend Roger Ailes,” who within three years would create his own cable television network of conservative talkers based on Limbaugh’s rhetorical model. Fox News offered talk-radio-grade punditry dressed up with the residual veneer of objectivity that viewers still associated with TV news. The network assembled a stable of commentators who also were eager to grow famous and get rich by ceaselessly calling attention to the purported outrages committed by the left and the liberal media.

Limbaugh and his peers did not invent the demand for these programs. As the ensuing ratings showed, plenty of Americans already had a real appetite for this sort of febrile whining. But Limbaugh and the rest did all they could to nurture and cultivate those audiences, in part by attempting to poison them against all other sources of media—which, after all, were exclusively populated and controlled by a bunch of dirty liberal liars. Soon, the goal became not just to resist the mainstream media, but to provide an entirely separate epistemic system from the mainstream media.

“The left has been very successful because it understands the importance of the culture—of framing the debate and influencing the way people think about problems. But the Culture War is a bilateral conflict, my friends,” Limbaugh wrote. “There’s no reason on earth we should be content to sit back and watch our values and our cultural heritage slip away. Why don’t we simply get in the game and start competing for control of those key cultural institutions? In other words, why not fight back?”

Religious and condemnatory by its very nature, the culture wars were designed to make voting for anyone with a “D” next to their name a sin.

Limbaugh didn’t just fight back; he devised the battle plan. Even after he won—conservative punditry, across all platforms, generally reaches a far wider and more avid audience than its liberal opposite—he kept fighting back, because oppositional thinking was central to his appeal. But it’s hard to portray yourself as an aggrieved and marginalized voice when you’re worth hundreds of millions of dollars, when you’ve already gotten everything you’ve ever wanted.

Tim's biggest problem is that he talks for 30 minutes but only says 3 minutes of stuff. You couldn't pay me to watch him anymore, which is quite funny since he begs for money in the first few minutes of every video.

He's not a Republican though. His podcast regularly has his liberal friends on it along with other guests.

But in the last few years, everybody who doesn't just mindlessly chug down Rachel Maddow's cum is considered a Republican by the severely agitated and somewhat insane Lefties on the internet.


Nobody wants a middle. Everybody wants to fight.

Texas Republicans Ran a Twenty-Year Experiment. The Results Are In.
The state’s energy crisis didn’t come out of nowhere: it took decades of deregulation to make it happen.

In the early 2000s, after gaining control of the Texas House of Representatives for the first time in modern history, Republicans undertook a gerrymandering scheme that solidified their control of the state even further. What followed was a multi-decade experiment in deregulation that has now left millions of Texas residents freezing and without power.
