Hillary Clinton, Politics, and Pachinko Machines



Pachinko is a way of gambling and the machine works with maybe a hundred little steel balls.  All of those get sprung into the machine at once and then bounce all over the place.  It's all highly-frenetic and, we assume, wherever the balls wind up going results in whatever you win or lose.  Lotho was so taken with pachinko in the Philippines he bought one of the machines and brought it home with him.  The thing never did pay off, tho (sob).

Pachinko works much like Hillary Clinton on something like the TransPacific Partnership and one day she supports it, the next day she doesn't.  To get the full Pachinko effect, put a hundred Clintons into the machine and watch them bounce around for a while.

(Ed:  what will I win?)

Nothing ... or at least you didn't the last time you played Clinton Pachinko.  Your result could be different this time.  Gambling is funny that way.

(Ed:  yah, fucking hilarious that way)

Righty, right, matey.

Pachinko machines pay off. The one I brought back for Doc paid off but the back needs to primed with the payoff balls. If you keep everything in front nothing left to pay off.
Watching players in a pachinko parlor is exactly the same as the slot machine in a Casino. Everyine wants something for nothing
