Xenophobia, racism, homophobia, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and so on, are all variations on the pseudo scientific notion that people who are different have cooties.

Stopped at a Truck stop last night to get gas, and there was a one of those old quarter slider games. Started out 75 cents ahead, then slowly went down 7 dollars.

They had a 20 dollar bill floating on the quarters but it didn't move significantly. Nor could I get any avalanche started on some of the multi-stacked groups.

Nostalgia? Fun? I sure hope you didn't waste the time and money with some expectation of profit.

I guess those things legally qualify as slot machines so there has to be state regulated minimum return but a truck stop has little interest in seeing repeat customers for the gaming so they would have no reason to set the machine to a higher than minimum return. Most of their customers stop there for fuel, phones, etc. and are gambling as their vehicles are serviced, the gambling is a time filler not an enticement.

You can be both because only in a great country like this could a man like him get elected. Sadly, he represents a lot of people in this country.

I was ahead 75 cents in the beginning.

Whatcha saying, now I have to sign up for gambler's anonymous?

Thankfully, he represents a lot of people in this country.
People who like working, who like tax cuts and more money
to spend, people who don't like buying healthcare at the
point of a gun, people who are tired of their president
telling them our best days are behind us, that a poor economy
is the new normal, people who don't want their president
kissing the ass of every foreign official and profusely apologizing
to them in public.

People who want America great again.

I agree, our country is made up of about 95% morons.
