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.

"I have never heard a MAGA say one single thing that trump ever did wrong"

that's been my experience as well.

And the majority of them that I know have the habit of just talking louder and louder
when trying to make a point, as if increasing the decibels increases the logic.
There are a few exceptions, the nice lady that cuts my hair is a soft spoken
Trump supporter, at least when cutting hair,lol. She knows where I stand, and I know
where she stands, so we never chat about Trump anymore. I sure hope she doesn't bring up the
price of eggs and other groceries, I may not be able to contain myself, lol.

A friend from California was visiting last Fall. We stopped in a little neighborhood, working class bar in our old hometown. As we had a beer, the lady bartender asked where we from,
and friend told her. She replied, "you're from California, my condolences". She then commented
on how bad things were there. I broke out laughing, asked her if she'd ever been there, and of course she hadn't. I then told her that California, as a stand alone State, had one of the 10
largest GDP's of any COUNTRY in the World. She actually looked at us and apologized to my
friend for her comments( although the lure of a big tip probably had something to do with it )!

We are pretty well screwed,lol.
