    He added: “To get on a helicopter with a friend and three other people and fly down to Atlantic City, I mean, you can connect those dots. They were pretty good buddies.”

    The helicopter operated by your coke dealer. Natch.

    It’s been long alleged that Trump’s businesses functioned as a money laundering scheme for criminal cartels and foreign intelligence services. I have to wonder how many other VIPs O’Donnell witnessed Trump lead through the casino floor. Nevermind how much human trafficking he oversaw as a senior administrator at an Atlantic City Casino.

    This feels a bit like getting an interview with Whitey Bulger to talk shit about the Boston Mafia.

    During one visit to the Atlantic City resort in the late 80s, O’Donnell claimed inspectors of the state casino commission, which regulates gambling and ensures casinos comply with the law, were waiting for him in his office, after the president and disgraced financier had turned up to the venue with a group of three women.

    At some point, maybe CNN could do a story about how state agencies regulate for-profit gambling dens.

      Yeah, but these creeps like to target teens. This tracks for Epstein and the guy who’d hang out in the Ms. Teen USA changing room.

    Remember how much the unhinged racist teabaggers whined about how the media didn’t “vet” Obama (subtext being, how did the Black guy end up being a Presidential candidate, someone should have stopped it!). They said this over and over and over again along with black helicopter craziness about his birth certificate (because, again: this guy is Black! Are you guys even seeing this shit!?).

    The real failure in vetting anyone was the way the media chose to talk about Taco ever since 2015 or so. Most Americans knew him from that stupid game show he was given. But the media sure as fuck knew who he was going back to at least the 80s. And they said barely a peep about any of it.

    the 2024 attempted assassins were probably not time travelers because if they were they would’ve gone back at least this far

    Trump is a pedophile. We’ve known this for a decade plus. Let’s go ahead and move on. Nothing is going to come of it. Releasing the client list or not won’t change anything. This is all a distraction from the world crumbling around our ears.
