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.

The White House simply asking Twitter or Facebook to review content that violates each organization's TOS

Kinda like the neighborhood mafia lieutenant stopping by the mom and pop store just to say you sure have nice business here, pity if anything should happen to it.BHM


Not at all like that and easily distinguishable. Every organization I've ever been in has reminders and training requirements, etc. Look at the posters inside gas station repair shops - that's a smidgen. It became a test of will to stay awake during the Geneva Convention lectures at 6:30am in the morning during basic training. Let something happen in an org and your boss will get the word, convene a meeting, and you'll get a refresher.

The disinformation blizzard during the pandemic was no different. Asking organizations if you can help them police themselves along their own guidelines in no way approaches veiled extortion threats. We will find out if Trump asking you to find votes does qualify as extortion, and if saying you are electors when you aren't is corrupt and fraudulent. How about the lean Trump did on Mike Pence? - looks corrupt to me.

So the right has to distort the facts to come up with a corrupt purpose for normal behavior and transactions, investigations that go nowhere but supply the innuendo factory, whistleblower sources that whistle after they are charged and go on the lam, and the Secret Service deletes emails? There's too much going on right now, it's too hard to keep track of it, don't know how commoneone and Albaby do it.
