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.

Yes, let’s talk about the misinformed.

This should be good.

So which party’s policy is to fund Ukraine in its fight against communist Russia?

Trump sent Javelins and other weapons to the Ukraine waaaaaaay before Biden ever did. Republicans are against depleting our own stocks and giving one of the most corrupt countries on the planet a blank check.

Right off the bat, you're losing. This is your problem: you're so far up the liberal bubble, you can't think about anything other than what's parked in liberalism's descending colon. If you take my meaning about "bubble".

And one party showed respect and dignity during a gathering to honor our fallen soldiers while the other party characterizes our soldiers as “suckers”, “losers” and “fools.”

And you get your news from the hive mind. What does Snopes say?
snopes.com - Trump soldiers suckers losers
In sum, the claim stemmed from a story by The Atlantic, which relied on anonymous, second-hand reports of Trump's alleged words; there was no independent footage or documented proof to substantiate the in-question comments; and Trump vehemently denies that he once called service members "losers" and "suckers." While it was certainly possible that he said those things, Snopes was unable to independently verify the claim.

Bzzzt. Zero for 2! Tell me about "Very fine people" while you're at it.

JFK cut taxes, sure. Just save some space and type "You are correct, Dope." Everyone knows it anyway.

So did Clinton, but at least he created a budget surplus. Zero for 3. Clinton wanted to spend the "peace dividend", Newt Gingrich forced a balanced budget on him.

Next!

I consider myself to be politically active, but I’m not sure where this obscure list came from.

And here we get to the typical PA liberal method of debating: deny that liberalism does (insert list of odious things) by pretending you've never seen any of it. In other words, lie your rear end off. Lia Thomas says hello. So do all the spate of males winning female athletic competitions and beauty pageants nationwide.

Like I said, pretty obscure stuff and certainly nothing to do with national politics.

A lie. Here, let's let Bill Maher sum it up: redstate.com - Bill maher upsets liberal interviewer while explaining how liberals have lost their minds

Don't watch the clip.

Sure, this country is being ripped apart. Check your hands for the blood.

Says the guy who will be out in the streets rioting if he loses in the fall with his buddies.

Nice try. You people always resort to violence when you don't get your way and if Trump wins in November, you'll do it again.
