Atlantic City is giving people the chance to bid on imploding President Trump's former casino in February. The Trump Plaza casino has been empty and deteriorating for the last six years.

Mr. Trump opened the casino in 1984, but it was closed in 2014 and fell into a state of disrepair. Bodnar's Auction, the auction house collecting bids for the planned implosion, labeled the experience to push the button and demolish the building as a "once in a lifetime opportunity."

All of proceeds from the auction will go to the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City. The city's mayor hopes it can raise more than $1 million with the stunt, CBS Philadelphia reported.

What I’ve read about AC suggests that the entire city should have been blown up years ago!

Blow up the entire State as far as I’m concerned.

The Democrats ruined Atlantic City and are determined to force legalized gambling into the Hackensack Meadowlands, closer to New York City, to ruin the northeast corner of New Jersey as well.

New Jersey casinos are for criminals and politicians at the expense of everyone else.

Lets leve out the fact Trump sold this 11 years ago and it has been 5 years since he stopped leasing his name to it.

I know doesn’t fit the narrative.

Imagine how much could be raised to be the one to lock Hillary, Biden and Obama up?

AC has been a s hole run by various mobs since the early 1900’s. First was Nucky Johnson...30 years of him. Next up the Philadelphia mob.

Hi.

“Next up the Philadelphia mob.”

The mob in Philly to include two mayors and a DA would disagree with you.

They have been there the whole time.

I would say ask Frank Rizzo, but that would be wrong.
Fast Eddy is still around, right?

Why is it that Democrat controlled cities and towns become so crime ridden and decadent? And then those that rule and maintain such ruins exhibit a cult-like hatred of one of the celebrities that tried to make life better in their region.

Their motus-operundi is not different then that of Mob, Mussolini, or BHO (via Alinski) and all the other Commie thugs, they are the war lords, it's their turf, and they are into fascism aka you can have a business but they have control. And look at Kawami in Detwaa, I bet their are plenty more just as corrupt getting their palms greased, but they aren't stupid enough to rent a Citation Jet to take the family on Vacation on a salary of $174,000 a yr, his wife would have had to be one of those extreme couponers to pay for the Jet, and that wasn't happening...

Rudy got rid of the Mob. Rumors are he had someone feeding him info and or help. Makes sense if you think of it, you might be a builder and not want to owe these pr!ck$ or want to pay them payola, hmmm who could that be ;-)

And you don't think all those ricks minus the P in DC don't roll like Tony Soprano? That's why the Swamp hates Trump, he tried to de-mobify them. He is the last honest man....

I don't say this stuff lightly, no I am not mobbed up, but a dear departed relative (who knew them as he had to "entertain" them, and no he wasn't one of them) pulled me aside when I was young out of no where visiting him one day and told me how they rolled. It was odd, I was clean cut, 20 something why? It took a few years after that and a guy named "Rush" who just got syndicated who caught my ear. I put it all together when the Clinton's came on scene. To this day it has become one of the biggest B.S. detectors I have, I can smell these types a mile away.

A bigger question is what do we do now without our Batman. The corruption will get worse, all I can think of is to evolve a life style that disconnects from DC and or any State appartus that is anti-freedom (we may have to move from MI), and become an underground John Galt if you will.

I hope these late teen and 20 something pukes and all the other Progs in a year or two realize how bad they screwed the pooch and what they really had in PDJT. At this point it is their $h!+, they own it, not my circus not my monkey...

So the city wasn’t smart enough to include demolition as owner’s responsibility if the property was to be abandoned, at the time they issued the licenses and permits to build?

Be Careful what you wish for. In 1997 The Canberra, Australia Hospital on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin was to be demolished.

They did the same thing, one “lucky” radio listener won the right to push the button. Watch this youtube video of the event and see what happened.

Debris fell like hails stones and one unlucky young girl was killed and many injured.

I was in my car stationary driving across a bridge, we were stopped by authorities, I was directly behind this cameraman, when I saw the falling rocks I was astonished as they moved closer to where we were.

Not a good idea.
