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 for the life of me will never understand how the left got to where it is today, that their hatred for 1 guy blinds them to nearly 50 years of murder and mayhem directed against us by the Iranians."

In addition to being an absolute dumbass when it comes to accurately being able to understand or even describe his opponent's positions, Dumbass Dope has more than a couple of times brought up the Iranian protestors.

One of the people Trump has been negotiating with who he thinks is one of the moderates who could lead Iran going forward is Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Trump indicated that he was someone the U.S. was in contact with in an interview.

What we should know about Ghalibaf is that he was once the head of the internal police who cracked down on rioters (in fact bragged about it).

So to use the Iranian protestors as justification for what we have done in Iran while also negotiating with Ghalibaf is the height of hypocrisy. The Iranian people are not going to like the U.S. if the U.S. installs one of the people who helped quell the protests.

I often wonder if Trumps takes pleasure from constantly making his cult followers look like Dumbasses knowing that they will still follow him.
