    I hate to tell you but parts of the FBI and federal govt are in bed with the Jewish mafia elements that are running the Epstein/Maxwell child trafficking. It's a corrupt organization. Gilbert probably should have just bribed the right people or something else tipped the Feds off on this case.

    Can’t even run a poker game in you’re own house anymore. This country has forgotten what freedom even means

    Of course you can.

    You can't set up a game where you get a cut of the money wagered. You can charge an "entry fee" if you're providing food/drink, but even that's a very grey area.

    I like young women, mansions, food prepared by chefs and playing cards.

    Careful. The progressive mob is going to come with torches lit of you suggest compartmentalizing things. They feed on max emotion at all times.

    Yeah this is along the lines of my own thoughts when I saw it tbh. Gil comes across like that one kid in school who just did or said the stupidest **** to get crazy reactions and because of his stupid sense of humour and not realising the typical boundaries. Except with Gil he's got lots and lots of money and access to more ridiculous and stupid options. As soon as I read the story I just thought "yeah I can see that, sounds like the kind of stupid thing I'd expect he'd do."

    "The feed on max emotion at all times", says supporter of octogenarian sociopath whose entire means of communication is all caps tweets and hateful screeds.

    Pretty trite. I never voted for the orange dick in any election. I fight with my sextagenerian parents about him all the time. Sorry if I struck a nerve. I am opposed to the idea that riling up folks about Trump at every opportunity (say, in a thread about Gilbert Arenas, or at the dinner table with family) is productive.

    I'm going to ask you tone down your emotional language when dispensing unsolicited strategic productivity advice

    If you don't like people immediately reacting to the regimes ultra corrupted DOJ - don't read about it/there's one person to blame for that. Every time I turn around the regime is inserting itself into sports - stop yelling at us, start yelling at them

    I get it, clever.

    PS, while mean tweets may be Trump's only form of communication, I don't believe most of his followers are capable of emoting.

    I think that's most of what they're capable of, hence the irrationality of it all

    Anyway last I'll say but the "stick to sports" argument would hold more weight if the MAga regime wasn't constantly involving itself into everything as Dictators are wont to do, like Trump inviting himself to the Club world cup trophy presentation, refusing to leave & stealing a medal. A perfect metaphor for his whole life
