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.

think of the White House as the world’s most-exclusive assisted living facility. its primary resident is an increasingly-incapacitated 78-year-old man who can longer take care of himself — but he gets by, because his needs are completely provided for. he has a cook to prepare his meals, he has someone to dress him, and someone to remind him of his daily schedule. there’s even a fully-staffed medical center, right in the building.

and, once or twice a day, they let him out in public, where he can babble incoherently to his heart’s content.

Trump: “we’re going to start a big investigation. because it’s — I’ve never seen anything like it. nobody’s ever seen anything like it. the worst overruns that there have ever been in the history of our country. and it wasn’t even necessary. I would have said, you don’t buy it, you take an aeroplane, it costs you two dollars. it costs you nothing. you take an aeroplane. but this got started, and if you have to, you drive. you can drive.”

what the fuck is Dear Leader gibbering about? two-dollars flights? where? when? in 1903? is two dollars what the Wright Brothers charged? seriously, how out of touch is Donny? why the archaic pronunciation of ‘airplane’ as ‘aeroplane’? who does that any more? he sounds like Grandpa Simpson free-associating about tying an onion to his belt, which was the style at the time

so, let’s ask again — what the fuck is Donny gibbering about? this:

--FRESNO, Calif. — President Trump confirmed he is setting his sights on California's controversial High-Speed Rail Project.

While answering questions from the media in the Oval Office Tuesday, he threatened to open the investigation himself.--

there are two reasons for Donny wanting to kill California’s high-speed rail program: one, it’s a golden opportunity to fuck over California — because fuck you, Gavin Newsom — and two, the Space Nazi has a personal vendetta against the project, because California rejected his ‘hyperloop’ scam, and went with high-speed rail instead.
