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.

— Cosplay Kristi claiming that Senator Padilla was “lunging” at her.

Maybe because he was causing a scene and put his hands on officers? (Check the video)

JD Vance proclaiming that Los Angeles is filled with “rioters egged on by the governor and the mayor.”

Erm...because Hair Gel and Bass were making anti-ICE statments?

— DNI Director Gabbard telling Congress under oath that the intelligence community does not believe Iran is building a nuke, then saying the opposite to the public on social media.

Erm...she posted her remarks in full context and it was clear the media were the ones lying,.

Republican congresspeople and the Speaker of the House repeatedly promising that their billionaire-tax-cut legislation won’t cut Medicaid as they revive Reagan’s lie that tax cuts for the morbidly rich will help out average working people.

Erm...because they're not cutting Medicaid. They're adding work requirements that most other programs have.

I don't know about the other two, but the tell in whatever screed this is is this one:
Trump attacked Iran despite that country posing no threat to the US whatsoever.

Sure, Jan.

You need to read better writers, because this guy sucks. And of course it has a stupid Hitler reference. That's become catnip to you people.
