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.

I know that doesn't mean he can't win, but he really is looking like a tired old loser, desperate and angrily lashing out in increasingly bizarre ways.

Just listen to Trump. He's disgusting in about every way a man can be.

24 hours of Trump: QAnon tributes, crude attacks and hawking pieces of his suit

With fewer than 70 days until the election, Trump is zigging and zagging with an arsenal of unfocused broadsides and peripheral pursuits.

Donald Trump amplified a vulgar joke about Vice President Kamala Harris performing a sex act. He falsely accused her of staging a coup to secure the Democratic nomination and faulted her without evidence for a security lapse that enabled a rogue gunman to try to assassinate him. He shared a manipulated online image of Bill Gates in an orange jumpsuit and a call for Barack Obama to face a “military tribunal.” He promoted explicit tributes to the QAnon conspiracy theory. He hawked digital trading cards in an online infomercial along with pieces of his debate night suit. (“People are calling it the knockout suit.”) His campaign feuded publicly with Arlington National Cemetery over their visit.

And that was just in the span of 24 hours.

In a tightening contest, the former president has lashed out at his new opponent with belittling nicknames, ideological criticisms and sometimes sexist and racist attacks. He has aggressively cast Harris as too liberal but also lingered on Biden — frequently complaining that the switch is unfair — and lobbed false attacks on Harris’s racial identity.

Trump spent Wednesday morning venting on Truth Social, his social media site. He let loose a flurry of reposts just after 8 a.m. There was an image of Biden, Harris, Hillary Clinton, former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), former White House medical adviser Anthony S. Fauci and others in prison uniforms. There was a call to jail members of the congressional committee that investigated Trump’s supporters over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol after Trump’s election loss. Another repost used a QAnon slogan: “WWG1WGA! RETRUTH IF YOU AGREE.”

“His nickname is Tampon,” Trump told the audience full of National Guard members, many of whom wore their camouflage uniforms. “Tampon Tim Walz,” he said later, alluding to a Minnesota bill that Walz, as governor, helped pass requiring access to menstrual products in public schools.


You Trumpers may hate the Democratic Party, but it seems you can never adequately explain your support for this disgusting and corrupt man.
