    Goddamned new york times. It’s not a bet! It’s an investment, by billionaires, in Trump. Forever soft-pedaling into oligarchic fascism; line must go up.

      I mean pre-election it would be a bet. IE you don’t want to kiss up to the wrong side and make an enemy of the winner…

      of course once it wins then it’s not a gamble, it’s just boot licking.
