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 Neocon influence has reappeared with changes.

This is true. Bush had a long campaign of lying to Congress, to gain their consent. And another big pack of lies to the UN. Remember Colin Powell, and those actual, real, artist's impressions of "mobile bio-weapons labs" he showed at the UN?

Pirate King Trump couldn't care less about Congress, or the UN. He started his war, all on his own.

Of course, Shinyland has been going down the authoritarian kleptocracy road for 20 years, since Bush's time.

The late local news found a handful of supposed Venezuelan ex-pats in the Hispanic neighborhood of Detroit, to cheer for liberated Venezuela and cheer for Trump, for the camera. Twenty years ago, there were a lot more Iraqi ex-pats in town, to wave Iraqi flags and cheer Bush. I just want to stand on a street corner in "Mexican town" and tell people "don't you remember Iraq? Trump could not care less about you, or your family. He's only interested in oil and money. He's playing you for fools".
