Yes, I want 3 to 1 odds that Trump will run for president in 2028. I am not sure what you are not understanding when I said I would take +300.

If betting jargon is too complicated for you I would advise you to never bet on anything.


I understand the jargon completely. But you said " I am guessing that I can get lots of action at 3-1." That implies you are OFFERING 3-1. If English was your first language you would have said, "I am guessing I can FIND lots of action at 3-1."

If you are OFFERING a bet you state the odds you are OFFERING THE OTHER PERSON. Not what you are looking to get for yourself.

A proper bookie would say something like, "3 gets you 1" or "I'll take your action at 1-3" or anything like that.

Saying "I can get lots of action" implies you are the bookie. So you should be telling the OFFER.

Macy’s announced Monday that a single employee was responsible for so many accounting irregularities that the company was forced to delay its quarterly earnings report, which the retailer had planned to release Tuesday.

The company recently discovered that the unnamed employee intentionally hid as much as $154 million in expenses over the course of nearly three years, prompting the retailer to conduct an independent forensic accounting investigation. The employee, whom Macy’s said is no longer with the company, “intentionally made erroneous accounting accrual entries” to hide small package delivery expenses.

Hopefully fire any and every person that says he can run. I forger what grade in school we first were taught this. We would have been "told" at some point by maybe third grade? Probably by 7th we did some "official" learning of the amendments and for sure by American Government in 9th.

It's the quote from "Casino." IT CAN NOT HAPPEN, WILL NOT HAPPEN!


He already got a ruling from SCOTUS limiting application of the 14th Amendment insurrection clause. He already got a favorable ruling on Presidential immunity. What's to stop him from at least trying for the Big Enchilada of limiting application of the 22nd Amendment?

just please use 3:1 not 3-1, the latter means 3 minus 1

If he runs in 2028 you may call me “Meyer.”

So many of the boloney legal cases being dropped today against Trump you can't keep up with it. Pretty soon I'm going to be convinced that he's not going to be led into a jail cell in handcuffs like so many here want. Why, it's like it's not going to happen at all.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

There's gold in them there....China

Several media outlets, including the Securities Times, reported that a local mining company, Hunan Gold, discovered forty gold veins at a depth of 6,562 feet in the Wangu gold mine. The company stated, “We’ve identified approximately 300 tons of gold reserves in the core exploration area. We estimate the reserves could reach about 1,000 tons if we extend our search to 9,843 feet.” They added that the total estimated value could amount to 82.4 billion dollars

If a person did not know any better they might think the cases were just lawfare by liberal prosecutors who were trying to keep him from running in the first place? As well as a message to the Cubans and Musks out there saying, "want to run as an outsider, this is what is going to happen to you!"

I mean, if a person did not know any better.

It’s been pretty obvious all along. The misrepresenting the value of a property, which by definition is subjective until it is resold, must be done 1000 times a day in the USA. And which person was coincidentally charged?

Hegseth’s now will be subject to the same bullshit. He WAS NEVER even CHARGED with anything, but a single woman making an allegation, with no proof, might derail him.

The documents case is another glaring example. Charge Trump. Then find out Biden and others did the same. Make excuses for Biden with no charges of course.

If you didn’t get the feel that EVERY Democrat prosecutor that charged Trump was doing it to ADVANCE HIS OR HER political career you are just another TDS sufferer.

Someone wrote the largest jury ever just voted, and acquitted Trump on the ‘trumped up’ charges.

Bottom line, ABSOLUTELY NO WAY any of these charges are ever brought if it wasn’t for Democrats wanting to stop him, which their candidate and platform couldn’t.
