The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

AlphaWolf: And who was the President of the U.S.in 2020? (hint: a moron)


These cultists are remarkably stupid.

Not only was the Orange Idiot's administration in charge of the data collection of the 2020 Census but the Orange Idiot himself and his Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross, tried to control the methodologies and procedures for filling in data gaps, reviewing the counts for errors and protecting the confidentiality of people's information, and attempted to tamper with the count.

The Orange Idiot's last-minute decision to cut the counting short sparked public outcries, including a federal lawsuit that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. The court turned aside efforts to keep the census counting going through October which allowed the Trump administration to end up controlling the numbers used for apportionment.

So if you and House republicans have a problem with the census numbers and apportionment, the one to blame is the Orange Idiot.

BTW, why is this even an issue now? These data were made public back in 2022.

Oh, right, there's a presidential election underway and House republicans think that since this information is being circulated today, idiots will think Biden is somehow to blame rather than the guy whose administration actually did the census: the Orange Idiot.

And look, it worked.
