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.

Dementia Don’s new joint fundraising agreement with the RNC directs donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s legal bills before the RNC gets a cut.

Here's the order of how the donations flow:

1. The Trump campaign gets the maximum amount allowed under federal law.

2. The Save America PAC gets the second largest cut (again, the maximum amount allowed under federal law) but is barred from spending directly on Trump’s own campaign activities. The group devoted 84% of its spending to Trump’s legal costs as of February.

3. If there's any money left, it next goes to the RNC.

4. On the off chance there's still anything remaining, it goes to state political parties.

The unorthodox diversion of funds to the Save America PAC makes it more likely that Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, who have received at least $76 million over the last two years to defend him against four felony indictments and multiple civil cases. Some Republicans are already troubled that Trump’s takeover of the RNC could shortchange the cash-strapped party. ... Lara Trump in February said she thought Republican voters would like to see the RNC pay Trump’s legal fees."

Grifters gotta' grift.

Enjoy being fleeced, suckers.
