Speaking of pigshit – my wife seen FBI Comey on tv – that POS is in IOWA – Probably looking for Campos .
What does that have to do with this story? It seems every story gets spammed with the same crap.
lol
Dollar bills stick around a community when gambling is involved. It is a chance to get lucky with a little windfall for the vast majority of the working class. It creates other businesses in support which are most often ‘Ma and Pa’ establishments who utilize keeping money local. Big chains drain the money and send it out of state. And you wonder why the local economy is in the drink. You been hood winked by the corporations and such. Good luck on that one.

CROOKS? Better look a little further – say elected officials/Fbi – local deep state government that actually rules at this time.
Kick backs got too high and he could not afford them – skipped a few and sheeez –
Legalize it. The state does for it’s own purpose. Same goes for the smoking in bars. Second hand smoke my ass. These fruit loops creating all these dumb laws that are all double standards must’ve skipped breakfast. Oh well, it will be a barrel of laughs when these 401k’s tank. And they will. Gambling is a bonafide money generator. Been around a lot longer than Wall Street and their razzle dazzle.
What a crock…these boys have been doing this for years!
