re: Political Melt Thread

Fair enough

I am old enough to listen to mom talking about riding up and down Miami Beach and this was the whole beach

2 crappy houses
Lots of palm trees
Skeeters bigger than Palmetto bugs, and hoards of them
Sand

That said, I know the history down there firsthand better than any Wikipedia page.

Where Trump built his high rises (near the water tower on the beach side) and opposite of Castaways and Wolfies was a strip of 2 - 4 story hotels that were torn down to built the Trump buildings.

Have you ever been to The Strip in Vegas? If so, every mafia joint on The Strip was on that strip of sand in Hollywood near that water tower. When Meyer and the rest of the NY crowd built their first "carpet joints" - the older casinos across the US were rough places and usually had sawdust flooring - they built them there. The Strip in Vegas was just the next generation of these carpet joints.

Take this as you will, I know DJT and his family better than most because they lived in the old Italian / Jewish neighborhood where my blood family were from and they were the only family who was neither. This was not by chance. It was not chance DJT wound up building on that land in Hollywood because he was already connected.

This is not about politics, this is about actual truth and history.

If DJT is moving his lips, he is lying. He is so much like the old dons I grew up with except he is all talk and they were all action.
