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.

It isn't just Trump, and it isn't just Israel. It's the GOP embracing bigotry as it's defining principle, and both parties selling USians out for special interest money. Former GOP Gov of Florida, Charlie Crist, left the GOP in disgust, when Trump was nothing but a huckster. It may have been Hillary's speech at AIPAC, using language so servile. that I twigged to Israel's excessive influence in the US. Where else, in "democratic" countries are bribery and kickbacks, to public officials, officially legal?

As I have been saying, since I offered the US was "becoming a big, heavily armed, aggressive, banana republic", more than 20 years ago, I don't know how this country gets off of the track it is on. The choices have already been made by November. As someone else said, the candidates on the ballot in November are two heads of the same snake.
