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.

Dope1: No. He's a serially dishonest sh1tposter, and it took less than 15 seconds to spot the BS in his attempt to derail the thread with more partisan nonsense.

Umm, what?

Let's review.

You said (in response to a comment that DeSantis doesn't have the personality nor cult generated over many seasons on trash TV to succeed in the 2024 presidential campaign):

Nah. He just has that thing called An Awesome Record Of Being An Awesome Governor. I think that's plenty.

Which led me to give you a long list of exactly why DeSantis is just a loud-mouthed Culture War governor of a mediocre state.

As albaby1 pointed out, you didn't spot any BS -- there was no BS. Here's what Russell wrote about Florida:

Recently my home state of Florida has been at the center of heated debates. We have faced a devastating near-total abortion ban, new laws further restricting trans rights, a war against immigrants, and extensive efforts to remove DEI programs and Black history curricula from our schools. Our state's so-called leaders' unrelenting assaults on fundamental rights have made Black residents and visitors alike feel unwelcome and unsafe in our state.

The NAACP is committed to ensuring that Florida is a place where Black Floridians can exist freely and have every opportunity to thrive. Unfortunately, that is not a reality right now under Governor Ron DeSantis' thumb. He has proven that his Florida poses a threat to our lives and livelihood. We refuse to allow his vision for Florida, and this nation, to become our reality. Our travel advisory is an effort to put the country on notice -- if you are Black, if you are a woman, if you are an immigrant, if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community -- be aware that your life, your full being, is not valued by Florida's so-called leaders.

And sorry, but what exactly was your unsubstantiated blather about DeSantis's awesomeness other than partisan nonsense?

Go find yourself a mirror.
