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: "Nice bank you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it," <--- That's the gangster way.

Umm, c'mon. You're describing the Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile's playbook.

For example:

On July 18, 2019, the Trump administration withheld $250 million of military aid to Ukraine. Seven days later, Trump held a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he asked Zelensky to work with Rudy Giuliani and U.S. Attorney General William Barr to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Trump threatened Georgia officials when he was looking for 11,780 votes: "The ballots are corrupt, which is totally illegal," Trump said. "It's more illegal for you than it is for them, because you know what they did and you're not reporting it. That's a criminal offense, and you can't let that happen. That's a big risk to you and to Ryan, your lawyer."

Trump threatened Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman along with her daughter and co-worker Wandrea “Shaye” Moss with legal action and falsely claimed the two women, who are Black, opened “suitcases” full of phony ballots to rig the vote count in predominantly Black Fulton County.

Trump has threatened legal action against Harris, Clinton, Obama, Biden, Clapper, Brennan, Schiff, McCabe, Comey and an endless list of others in government and private industry.

C'mon, seriously, WTF is wrong with you? You're defending the most corrupt POS to ever set foot in the White House, a man who has been found liable for sexual assault, found guilty of 34 felony counts of business fraud, has fantasized publicly about f*cking his own daughter, and buried his first (immigrant) wife on a poorly maintained shitty spot of land on his own golf course.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you people?
