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.

OK, time for an update on the DOI convictions in Trump’s 3rd term (2016 he won, 2020 he claimed he won, 2024 he won).

Jerome Powell: Zero convictions.
Trump’s Public Reason - He won’t lower interest rates fast enough because Powell is making decisions based on facts.
Trump’s Real Reason - Trump’s ass is still very sore from being fact checked in real time about building expenditures. Powell reminded Trump that Trump had signed off on the expenditures. Trump has the memory of a very small goldfish.

Lisa Cook: Zero convictions.
Trump’s Public Reason - A fake crime. Hey, anyone remember when Trump buried one of his ex-wives on his golf course? Oops, I mean on his golf course cemetery.
Trump’s Real Reason - She’s a black woman.

Mark Kelly: Zero convictions.
Trump’s Public Reason - Kelly quoted U.S. military code.
Trump’s Real Reason - He doesn’t like bald people and Kelly is smarter than he is, along with 99% of non-MAGA people.

Adam Schiff: Zero convictions.
Trump’s Public Reason - Trump is embarrassed he has such a fat neck.
Trump’s Real Reason - Schiff led a successful impeachment of Trump.

Jack Smith: Zero convictions.
Trump’s Public Reason - Smith is mean to him.
Trump’s Real Reason - Smith is more competent than all of the prosecutors Trump named combined.

James Comey: Convictions dismissed by U.S. District Judge.
Trump’s Public Reason - Comey was mean to him.
Trump’s Real Reason - Comey was expected to throw the election to Trump in all 3 elections, not just the first one.

Letitia James: Convictions dismissed by U.S. District Judge.
Trump’s Public Reason - She’s corrupt, without offering a scintilla of evidence.
Trump’s Real Reason - She sued Trump in a $454 million civil fraud case and she’s a black woman.

Comey and James’ convictions were dismissed because Trump’s AG is ignorant about the law. No big deal in MAGA world.

But good news!!!!!!!

Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies, so he’s still winning. You go, girl!
