    1. @Nemo Krada I got a degree from Trump’s University, and now I’m drinking a glass of bleach.

    2. @Massimo Bernardo For a failure Trump seems to be doing pretty well. He’s the president and you’re still triggered from an election that happened 3.5yrs ago! 😂

    1. Peter This, from someone using the ‘tard’ portmanteau. What a failed upbringing you had, to have such callous disrespect for people with an intellectual disability. Shame on you.

  1. Something tells me that anyone else that wanted to start a casino ended up in Macaos dance floors…

  2. How and just one man that got so many of different wife and different children that this is well how did this happen but you know what only time will tell that like so many people from the past the present and the future is coming on next because everyone that I have time at home and just to move on because only will tell

  3. “He held the only gaming concession in the territory…” That’s an easy way to become rich. No competition.

  4. Hello everyone I’m from Cambodia 🇰🇭 please help me

    1. @Haidi Cheng Alway protected by Royal families of UK and Portugal to do his crimes , when both Hong Kong and Macao came a part of China again 20 years ago .

  5. Chicago, Democrat Mayor Lightfoot, Sends Armed Police, To Shut Down Black Baptist Church This weekend.
    Chicago’s deadliest Memorial Day, weekend since 2015: 9 shot dead, 27 wounded.
    Two news stories you won’t see on CNN, and MSNBC. The Mayor has her priority’s all wrong. Where’s the outrage?

    1. now lets take RACE out of the equation for a moment _Forest Gump_ – Shut down a Bapist Church when these places of worship are suppose to be shut down due to social distancing orders?

      And as for Chicago – its Chicago.

    2. bruh = Courtney Lewis, the pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Chicago, was in the middle of his sermon when he heard loud banging on front doors. It was the police.
      Mayor Lori Lightfoot had dispatched three squad cars and two unmarked cars along with a representative from the mayor’s office.
      Pastor Lewis said the intent was to shut down their Sunday services. It was “like the Soviet-style KGB,” he said.
      The only thing she hasn’t done yet is beat the doors down and arrest our members,” the pastor said.

  6. A great man who i had the honour of meeting many times over the years, He came from nothing during the hard times of ww2 and seen an opportunity in Macau, grabbed it with both hands and worked every day until he was 89. Macau takes more in one day than las vegas done in one week and has this one guy to thank. he gave back to Macau ,hong kong, Portugal, and the Philippines. rip Stanley
