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.

As was mentioned up-thread, Donny tweeted out a meme of him as Kilgore from Apocalypse Now and the caption:

I love the smell of deportations in the morning

Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR

Chicopolypse Now

If this were anybody but Trump, all the media including FOX 'news' would be screaming about stolen valor.

At least Tammy Duckworth, who lost both legs in Iraq, said:

Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger.

You didn't earn the right to wear it.

Stolen valor at its worst.
