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.

<< Why is it that the NYT opinion editors asked Biden to drop out after a bad debate performance, but they didn't ask Trump to drop out after he was convicted of 34 felonies? They called him unfit for office, but never directly asked Trump to leave the race. >>

Because all of Trump's felony convictions and falsehoods are a feature, not a bug. The 47% of the population that supports Trump are energized by it, not appalled.

Meanwhile, the Democratic leadership has been gaslighting the nation over the past several years on Biden's declining mental competence. Having the New York Times Editorial Board call this out is akin to Walter Cronkite separating himself from the Administration's lies about our success in Vietnam.
