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.

And *this* is one of the reasons --- I have said - - -Democrats - if they'd stop with the Pronoun shit, and stop with the 'be nice to illegals' nonsense, and stop with the "if you don't hate yourself for being white or straight" attitude-----

--and fought elections on ---health insurance, gas, wages, social security ---they'd win in landslides.

Look at the current state of affairs. IF this was a Democratic President-------the Republicans would have the next 3 elections pre-won in a landslide lol.

I'm in the swing-est county of Pennsylvania. Republican Congressman here has never given a shit about Affordable Care Act....until election season when he's pretended to want to help it.

But do I even know what the Dem challenger looks like? NOPE --- but I see a constant, every single day and week drumbeat "Bob Harvie voted himself a pay-raise and then raised your taxes" - Harvie is the Dem challenger to Fitzpatrick Republican. And it's a consistent message. It's not "Hyphenated American message of the day".

As long as Liberals stay arrogant --- they'll have the Taliban SCOTUS they have now. Yeah, ok they 'll cheer their Congress win in 2026. The point is, with the state of affairs, this should be an easy Senate flip despite the map. The GOP nomination should be toxic right now where "A" list Republicans say "I wanna spend time with family" and let a Bob Dole sacrificial lamb run - like happened in 1996.
