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: Joe Biden has claimed for years and is continuing to claim that he has nothing to do with his family business. Now, that was always a really bad bald faced lie given what Hunter has been up to, but Archer's testimony today indicated that he's not only aware of "the family business" of grifting for dollars but is also a very active participant.

Talk about a bald-faced lie.

Devon Archer testified "that he never heard of President Biden discussing business with his son or his son's associates, or doing anything wrong."

Archer said Hunter Biden was selling the "illusion" of access to his father but provided no evidence connecting President Joe Biden to any of his son's foreign business dealings.

Another Jim Jordan pratfall.

Then you have the DOJ trying to stop him from testifying over the weekend.

Another bald-faced lie.

"We are aware of speculation that the Department of Justice's weekend request to have Mr. Archer report to prison is an attempt by the Biden administration to intimidate him in advance of his meeting with the House Oversight Committee," Archer's attorney told Politico in a statement on Sunday. "To be clear, Mr. Archer does not agree with that speculation."

BTW, this straight shooter witness, Archer, and a number of other individuals were indicted on charges they defrauded members of a Native American tribe. They were found guilty in 2018.

Oh, yeah, when Trump was president and ran the DOJ.

Statement from the DOJ about the ridiculous republican claim that it was trying to prevent Archer's testimony: "As the Court knows, to surrender and commence his sentence of imprisonment, the defendant first must be designated to a federal facility by the Bureau of Prisons ' a process that can take several weeks or months after the Court sets a surrender date."

But hey, I guess these are desperate times when your candidate is going to be under three criminal and one civil indictment and is a know rapist.
