Pretentious old men playing at running the world. But the world left them a long time ago.

I understand how that's an emotionally appealing sentiment, but I'd be disappointed to learn you actually believe it, since it's so wrong as to be useless in deal with the real world.

  It's gonna get legalized. And then his efforts will be seen as laughable.

    Then I suppose your sentiment was expressed as a plural because you don't like to bother being precise with your thoughts? Edit: now I see you were just dropping a reference. That makes your post even less tasteful in my eyes.

This man has the ear and direct number of every national republican politician who matters. He also bought a newspaper to push his agenda, and thanks to Citizens United, can donate enormous amounts of cash to further his causes. So it's hard to see any ground to say the world left him behind.

  > This man has the ear and direct number of every national republican politician who matters. The national Republicans have been completely tarnished by their association with Trump. They are going to get absolutely trounced. NV is going to go blue. It's going to be the Dem's world for a long time now, especially once the Matriarch takes power. >He also bought a newspaper to push his agenda Jeff buying Washington Post, that was a smart powerful move. The Las Vegas purchase was a public debacle for him and now everyone knows its just his mouthpiece. Nobody of influence cares about that rag. Billionaires throwing cash around is just like startup marketing, that is, throwing cash and seeing what sticks. Again, he's just playing at running the world, trying to throw his weight around like it matters. Legalization is going to happen and he's going to look like the asinine old fool he is.

    Legalization has already been successfully delayed in CA and FL (this was definitely due to Adelson; I'm not sure about CA) and this disgusting person can help ruin a bunch more lives in the meantime. I think you're being somewhat dismissive of the negative impact he's had.

      Sure he's made a negative impact in the past, I hate the guy, I think he's a joke and the future does not lie with him. Legalization will pass, the republicans will be utterly cucked, and he will die a flaccid relic of another time.

        I'm not sure why you think it's obvious that legalization will pass. Also, cuck has pretty explicit racist overtones. Please use a different term.
