It went on for a few hours and no one took the bait. I remember thinking "Damn, those guys don't care who walks in the door and sits down. They'll take on anybody. The whole goddam world is welcome."
They gave up after a few hours.
I am not piling on, and I guess in some respect our MAGA politics are similar. But you really, seriously, watched 3 grown men playing cards for three days? "Enthralled". Are you serious?
That is one hell of a terrible life watching aging card players splash around chips for an afternoon. Let alone 3 days.
I am not being a dick, but I can say with probably 90% certainty I would have ended it all if I were watching 50 something guys playing poker and getting moved by it. But that is just me. Wow, what a demeaning existence. But fuck it who am I to judge I am the same guy asking Jewdonk for videos.
