Atlantic City auctions off chance to hit Big Red Button and make grotesque Trump Plaza casino go boom

Re: "Made a lot of money and got out"

A subset of owners almost certainly did make money overall. And the parties with "losses" likely did pretty well.

If it is your goal, it's easy to make lots of revenue go out the side door, rather than show up as profit. Then the primary corporation folds with a giant paper loss, generating tax benefits for the shareholders and bad loan write-off tax benefits for the lenders.

Trump accumulated tax-credit 'losses' wildly in excess of his investments through the 1980s and 1990s. Those losses were part of his tax avoidance through at least 2014.

Re: The Question of the Day for this

I should think that Trump himself will be bidding. Of course one would hope that the charity will ensure cleared funds before letting him near the BRB.

Re: The possibilities are ...

I wonder if someone will find a way to hack it ahead of schedule?

Re: Will DT keep all hist titles?

Please lets all push to strip him of the title of president, former president, and commander in chief. He refused to do the job when he was in office, we can take the privilege back from him for killing more Americans than Vietnam or Cancer.

That said, you can refer to him as SCROTUS whenever you want. You've earned it.

Re: Will DT keep all hist titles?

Will we still be allowed to refer to Trump as SCROTUS?

We usually called it IMPOTUS - IMpeached Pustulent Old Twaddle Uttering Shitshow.

Re: Good idea

How much for a block of C4? *Cough* Asking for a friend... *Cackle*

Re: Good idea

Good idea in concept, but a controlled implosion calls for a fairly precise amount of explosives meticulously placed. I'm afraid if your plan were implemented, Pennsylvania would suddenly have beach front property.

Re: Bad timing

Indeed. Doing it on the 20th, just after the inauguration of Biden, would have been perfect.

Re: Point of Order

What is there that when a button is pushed or a mouse clicked generates an enormous vacuum inside a building so that it implodes?

Maybe a prototype of Elon Musk's Hypeloop.. Or not, as that would generate both negative pressure and publicity. ThunderF00t's been having more fun fisking that venture on his YT channel.

Otherwise I wonder if the last throws of the Presidency would allow Trump to order a MOAB dropped on it given FAED's are sorta implosion devices. But sadly the reality is it just means the demolition's rigged to make the building collapse inwards instead of outwards. Hopefully.

And put the button

On top of the bible that Biden is sworn in with! And it wouldn't be a terrible thing if it was miswired and blew up Mar-A-Lago instead.

Re: Not ex President yet

And yet he didn't actually do the job a single day he was in office. Can we claw that back pay away from him, and maybe bill for expenses and back rent? I'm sure he'll just trick people into donating the money to him, but that's a self punishing mistake at least.

"If you can't turn a profit in a casino then either you're a crook and/or incompetent."

Nah, even when crooks run casinos, they make money. They're not as daft.
