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.

Pre-Trump era, the leading candidate in the republican presidential primary calling for the execution of Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley would be 72-pt. screaming headline news in every newspaper in America and an automatic disqualification for public office.

Today, meh.

Trump also told Milley he did not want wounded veterans at official events because "no one wants to see that." Trump was referring to Luis Avila, who served five combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, was left almost completely paralyzed by the detonation of an improvised explosive device in 2011. Milley had selected Avila to sing 'God Bless America' at his 2019 welcome ceremony at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.

Trump's loathing for an injured war hero may speak volumes about his repulsive character but those in the Trump Cult cannot hear.

And a member of Congress calling the current President of the United States an "old fart" once would have resulted in swift condemnation by her party. MTG (replying to a tweet by president Biden): "Whatever you old fart."

Today, meh.

Joining Trump and Greene on a never-ending race to the bottom, former Assistant to President Trump, Peter Navarro, called Cassidy Hutchinson, Alyssa Farah, Stephanie Grisham, Kayleigh McEnany, and Olivia Troye "Pimp ladies," a comment that would have resulted in criticism in days past.

Again, meh.

And that's why it has become pointless to enter into conversations with anyone in the Trump Cult. They are irretrievably lost, soulless, conscienceless, morally bereft, and love to revel in their cruelty.

Meanwhile, democrats are lining up to demand the resignation of senator Menendez.

P.S. If Milley is on the government's witness list for Trump's DC trial, Trump has violated the terms of his parole.
