Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 08, 2022

That’s $1,200 if you leave a 20% tip.

Duke’s lucky it’s NOT a Trump property — he got edible food.

Sabatini’s just stringing Duke along…

In addition, there are probably people living in those apartments above the restaurant who will end up homeless.

Not that the Orange Baboon gives a rat’s @$$!!

tRump also tried to get an old woman to give up her house for the same purpose. She stayed put and fought against his dirty tactics, including a demolition crew he sent to destroy her home. In the end she won, and his crappy poorly run casino is little more than rubble and bad memories today!

I don’t remember this story line BUT I rather think the Sabatini’s a rather more ‘connected’ to more than just the Trump Dump.

Get a receipt, Duke, or Trump’ll never pay you back. Oh, right. He won’t pay you anyway.

When he was younger, Trump’ll play the house hustler at various pool dives about the Burroughs..play for whatever cash the hustler wanted to put up, they knew he was good for it, & when he won and the hustler paid up, Trump would hand back around 10% of it.

Well, you got Duke in all his glory. An ominous sucker.

I’m starting to suspect that Mr. Sabatini has friends.

Shouldn’t that be “fugeddaboutit”?

I wonder why Trudeau isn’t showing Sabatini’s face.

So, exactly where are the trump casinos in Atlantic City today??? Oh yeah… they went BANKRUPT, and are now GONE. Just more FAILURES from the Fat orange SERIAL LOSER!!!

And: Trump’s new publicly traded company, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, purchased the Taj Mahal in 1996, in a transaction that valued the property at $890 million. In the 1990s, Trump’s Taj Mahal casino was “the world’s largest, most flamboyant casino” and Trump took on an “enormous amount of debt” to launch it. During eighteen months after its April 2, 1990 opening, when the Casino was on the verge of bankruptcy, it became the “preferred gambling spot for Russian mobsters living in Brooklyn, according to federal investigators who tracked organized crime in New York City”

AND: Trump Plaza’s revenues took a sharp decline in 1990, due to competition from its newly opened sister property, the Trump Taj Mahal which were 1 mile a way from each other. The casino narrowly averted default on a 1991 payment to bondholders by taking out a $25 million mortgage on its parking garage. Trump then negotiated a debt restructuring with the Plaza’s creditors, under which their $250 million of debt would be exchanged for $200 million of bonds with a lower interest rate, plus $100 million of preferred stock. The plan was submitted as a prepackaged bankruptcy in March 1992. Construction of a $42-million expansion began in 1993. The plan called for demolition of the unfinished Penthouse casino, the addition of 30,000 square feet of gaming space, and renovation of the former Holiday Inn building to become Trump Plaza’s East Tower, with 361 hotel rooms. The expansion was at the center of a major eminent domain court case, when Trump sought to obtain the property of Vera Coking, a retired homeowner whose house was adjacent to the Penthouse casino. Coking, represented by the Institute for Justice, was victorious, and plans to build a limousine parking lot were thwarted.

You TDSers are so amusing when you’re not trying to be.

Have you noticed that from 2016 to 2020,visitors from outer space were saying—“Please DON’T take me to your leader!”??

Harry Cohn,who died in 1957,was the most disliked of all the Hollywood studio heads(COLUMBIA).

One of his producers was asked if he was going to the funeral and replied—“Only if they’re burying him alive”.

People, if you respond directly to the troll, you just elevate its post up to “featured comment” status, where it’ll be the ONLY comment that 99% of the visitors to this strip ever see. Just reply by posting your own original comment, leading off with “@Troll”.

Don’t forget the cannoli….

¡Feliz Día Internacional de la Mujer!
