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.

‘To the visitor belong the spoils,’ you’ve all heard that.”

Did he actually say that? I read in another place that he said 'To the victor belong the spoils', which would be the correct quote. But it's not beyond him to mangle it.

He also called the Venezuela thing a war. So a four hour special forces operation is a war, but a seven month thing that depletes America's weapon stockpiles is a "small potatoes military operation" that ended four months ago, and again three months ago, and two months ago, and last month, but may also go on till after the midterm election.

Does anybody who isn't demented still believe this clown?
