What exactly is Nucky’s play with Rothstein and Mellon and the Overholt distillery?

Nucky realized if he held out enough bait for Rothstein to want to make a deal with him that he could get Rothstein to abandon Masseria. So the big thing Nucky had was the huge distillery, so he has Mickey call Rothstein and lay out some bait, “Nucky’s got this huge distillery, would do anything to get out of this trouble.” Rothstein says let’s make a deal, and I’ll get Masseria away. After Nucky gives Rothstein what he wants and Nucky gets what he wants, he calls Mellon and says, “You’ve got criminals in there, shut the place down,” and Rothstein ends up with nothing.

Okay, so I want to be clear: this is Nucky abandoning the distillery, rather than finding a clever way to cut Rothstein out of it, right?

No, he imploded his own deal.

Need some help from people with cat experience. It is my first Christmas with the cat, and he loves to eat the needles off the Fraser Fur tree we just put up. Problem is it makes him barf all over the house. Any ways to stop this?

I wish I could help. I only have artificial trees because of allergies. My cat climbed up the middle of my tree when she was little and crashed it. After I got her fixed that pretty much stopped. I read online that the pine needles and water for the tree could be potentially toxic for the cat. I wouldn’t put glass ornaments low because they like to swat at them.

if it wasn;t for masturbation, i don’t know what i’d do

Funny. In GA, some farmers bussed guys who were unemployed or parolees to work on a cucumber farm. I think their wage was $0.25 per 5 gallon bucket picked. They gave up after about an hour of work.

I’m thinking maybe Nucky puts Chalky in charge of a large % of production.

Makes sense. He has the property and the crew to pull it off.

So, when is someone gonna go all “Charlton Heston” on him?

He owes Chalky big time.

Sure does.

I’m hoping Chalky cashes in for more than just the club.

Likely a GT fan taking cleavage shots of the FSU fan girls.

I’m guessing that with all of AC back under Nucky’s control, he has a lot of resources now available to him that weren’t before.

Yeah that is what I am thinking as well.
