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.

Biden rallies boisterous crowd as he tries to tamp down debate concerns

“I don’t debate as well as I used to,” Biden said, his voice rising. “But ... I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job.”

RALEIGH, N.C. — President Biden had never been in a more desperate need of a campaign reset than when he stepped on the stage at a rally Friday in Raleigh. Only hours earlier, he had walked off another stage in Atlanta after a debate performance so concerning that it spurred questions from Democratic operatives and pundits about whether he should step aside.

But in North Carolina, the president briefly jogged toward the microphone with a grin and appreciative waves to his audience after rapper Fat Joe had fired up rally attendees by dedicating his song “All the Way Up” to Biden. Before he spoke, first lady Jill Biden — wearing a black dress covered with the word “Vote” in white lettering — tried to reframe Thursday’s debate as a standoff between her husband, who she said had “told the truth,” and former president Donald Trump, who told “lie after lie after lie.

Dope seems to be the only one claiming that Trump tells the gospel truth 24/7. But the truth is that Biden has done a good job with the normal amount of mistakes for a good President. I'm very interested in having him sit in the oval office for 4 more years, he knows the job and knows how to hire good people, he won't dismantle the government and civil service, etc. We may still have to deal with an ideologically conservative court with at least one corrupt justice, but Joe will have our backs and put people in place so that we can continue moving forward as a nation and not lose all our allies to China, Russia, etc.

So vote, donate if you can, and if you can help, help. :)
