The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Homan's certainly not going to stop the deportations and violence. He's an immigration hardliner too. But we might see the end of the tactic of surging all of it into a narrow geographic area, like a single city, rather than just having it spread somewhat evenly around the country.

Yah. I'd like to see an end to the tactic of grab 'em and sort it out later. The criteria for grabbing is now so low that you can literally grab someone and have someone else make up the reason you grabbed them, and that may happen in a few cases. I do think people who are here illegally aren't entitled to as long and full robust due process as I would want for a citizen, but this large grabbing process leaves me cold due to the appearance of lack of humanity on the part of our government. And I think if it appears that way, it highly likely IS that way. Why do we have quotas for arresting people who are following ICE? Just what is going on here? We've become what we revolted against.

I'm also aghast the LM thinks it's acceptable to lie about Pretti. I mean, we have video showing us that Pretti was highly likely murdered in cold blood after being disabled by pepper spray. What monster defends that?
