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.

Dope1: The White House tried to release a BS transcript covering up for Biden's remarks...

...but everyone heard it and knows what he meant.

Way to go, Brandon!


I didn't hear it so I went and found the complete remarks (emphasis, comments, mine) which seem to be taken out of context.

BIDEN: And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage." Well, let me tell you something. I don't -- I -- don't know the Puerto Rican that -- that I know -- or a Puerto Rico, where I'm fr -- in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating around out there is (singular, not plural) his supporter's (possessive, not plural) -- his -- his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American.


But, sure, Joe stepped in it in his rather inarticulate way, which is one of the reasons he's not at the top of the ticket.

I won't be voting for Biden.

Will you still be voting for Trump even though you spent years insisting anyone who mishandled classified information should never hold elected office?
