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.

First- HUGE standup cheers for Danielle Sassoon who resigned as Manhattan's top federal prosecutor rather than cooperate with Emille Bove’s politically driven directive to dismiss corruption charges against NY mayor Eric Adams.

Of course Emille Bove had every reason to believe that Sassoon would comply with the order. Sassoon is a member of the Federalist Society and clerked for Antonin Scalia and placed in her position just 3 weeks ago on Inauguration Day.

Sassoon not only said “No”, but “Hell no!”, and wrote an eight page, well reasoned letter detailing her objections to what amounted to a corrupt demand for her to drop criminal charges for what amounted to political reasons, and she turned in the letter along with her resignation.

Bove then attempted to enlist others in the prosecutor’s office to carry Trump’s bucket of corrupt water, and lo and behold, they resigned as well.

Seems there is an uprising in the DOJ; it will most likely be stamped out, as Bove and Trump will eventually find someone corrupt enough to follow their corrupt order.

But more people are now seeing the utter evil at the heart of this administration.

Just as they are beginning to see the incompetence of those who were hired because of their Trump loyalty rather than skill set to actually do the job.

Guantanamo is turning into a bungled fiasco with nobody knowing who is in charge or what to do with the planeloads of shackled immigrants arriving in the dead of night from the mainland.

But you have to admit- Kristi Noem sure knows how to dress up to look like a helicopter pilot.

Form over substance- all the way down.
