The carpets were covered with stains while the wallpaper was faded and peeling. Everything smelled stale and musty. And, in what grossed me out the most, the poker chips were so dirty and grimy that they actually stuck together. You had to pry them apart like an Oreo.

I've played poker at dozens of casinos in my life, from the fanciest palaces in Las Vegas to crappy riverboats in the Midwest, and I can say that the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City was -- by a fucking mile -- the dirtiest, dingiest, cruddiest casino I have ever experienced in my life.

Yes, Donald Trump has *always* been stupid and narcissistic, but in recordings from only a few years ago, he speaks with an energy that has been replaced by lethargic wheezing and lapses in concentration.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing.

Everything Trump and his cabinet have said about the deal is false. Venezuelan law governing oil does not allow for 100-yr deals, or anything longer than 25 years. And US law doesn't allow us to own shares in companies. Plus, the deal as structured won’t bring new capital to Venezuela’s oil sector.

Experts are ultimately skeptical the oil deal can hold together. “The deal is like the big beautiful wall that Mexico will pay for,” said former US diplomat John Feeley.

‘Skin in the game’
It was less than a month after the January US raid that toppled Maduro that Exxon’s CEO, Darren Woods, said the country was “uninvestable” because of the “legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today”.

Two people familiar with the process said Trump began looking for a way to make sure the US had “skin in the game” – financial ownership that would put investors at ease. The potential answer became the US stake in Betancourt’s firm, North American Blue Energy Partners.

Though the White House and defense department say it has 35% ownership, the Pentagon told lawmakers on the congressional armed services committee in a written briefing seen by the Guardian it has “warrants” in Nabep: rights to purchase shares, rather than the shares themselves.
