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.

We are now watching Bannon’s 2016 strategy in action with 21 days to go before the 2024 election.

Trump is flooding the American media with so much “s—” that there is little mention that he once tried to overturn a lawful election by stopping certification of the 2020 presidential race.

The same media often fail to mention that Trump, a man running for president, was found liable by a jury for sexual assault. How about his threats to prosecute political rivals and even Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of Facebook, as an “election fraudster”? These became non-stories for a press corps drowning in a flood zone of dreck.

So did his ridiculous claim that Vice President Kamala Harris is “mentally impaired.” With their minds hypnotized by Trump’s spin, reporters dismiss that as a joke, just more of Trump mocking people.

Meanwhile, the news is filled up with headlines generated by Trump’s lie that the Biden-Harris administration diverts money from Hurricane aid to help immigrants.

Finally, President Biden had to scream from the White House. “The last few weeks there’s been a reckless…relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies…” President Biden said last week. “It is harmful to those who need help the most.


From an article appearing in The Hill, of all places.

thehill.com - Trump media strategy

Steve Bannon will be getting out of prison in the next few days, in plenty of time to take over from his “War Room” stand-in while he was incarcerated.

Expect the flood of shit to peak in the days after the election if Trump loses, just in time for Trump’s reprise of his attempted 2020 election theft.

Same story, second verse.

But this time, the guns will be used.

All in the name of freedom, you understand… the freedom of an autocrat to run roughshod over the majority of Americans.

Even as we speak, he’s laying the groundwork….. flooding the zone….. with absolute horseshit.

Don’t become acclimated to it. Don’t normalize it.

Fight it.

A time is coming, in fact is already appearing, that “will try men’s souls”.

Don’t be found wanting.
