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.

BUT just like you were nasty to Romney, McCain, W Bush - - you'll be the same to the GOP NON-TRUMP nominee in 2028.

You seem to be missing a huge difference (nothing shocking).

Sure, I’ll go after GOP non-Trump candidates. And I disliked the years under Reagan and Bush 1 & 2. If Romney or Liz Cheney or any number of conservative Republicans win the presidency I won’t be happy either.

The critical difference is that while I won’t be happy, I also won’t be worried about our democracy.

But you dodged (no surprise) you were nasty, 24/7 to Bush, Romney, and McCain when he wasn't kissing your ass. And you'll be the same in 2028 no matter the nominee is.

As far as your "democracy" - you're adding to the ranks of people who would harm it.

Give it more culture decay, plus immigration trouble, plus - A.I and Automation.

I'm patient :) And very certain. Trump losing actually furthers that along so I'm hoping the abortion thing again gets out enough vote to cause his defeat....

In the meantime it's not me saying George W Bush was "not my president" "not elected' "selected" - it was you and the TMF Left. It was not me lighting Chicago on fire, it was Liberals in the 60s - before they became Goldman Sachs sellouts. It's not me shouting "Diebold!" "Diebold machines Ohio!" it's the SandyLeeLee and TMF Liberals- I don't recall you objecting. It's not me saying "Russia. Putin. Putin Helped Trump win". It's not me saying 'resistance" even more Trump was sworn in.

So there's plenty of democracy shredding - you only look the other way when it's your side.

I'm consistent: I want *all* your tires and castes at war....no more, no less.

And guess what? Since we've all met way back when - the trend - is unmistakably in my favor.

And just imagine, this is low unemployment, and pre automation.

People will really be in a good mood then :).

PS: Election workers report security troubles. Remember, who has been saying it'll be hilarious when UN Peacekeepers are needed to monitor your elections......:):)
