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 saw Stewart’s show last night. Stewart states he’s not a doctor, and then proceeds to give medical opinions. 30 minutes of whining about Biden, which to be fair, included 15 seconds about how Trump is much, much worse. I think Fox calls that fair and balanced, although Stewart is funnier.

Stewart’s solution is have a convention where candidates who believe they can beat Trump give a speech, the Democrats vote on who is best, and then there is a big group hug and they all sing kumbayu and go out and beat Trump. Of course, this conveniently overlooks the fact that, to date, no other candidate has said they can beat Trump. Minor detail.

And who was it that said “I don’t belong to any organized political party. I’m a Democrat.”?

Hint: Will Rogers.

If you want real understanding what this election is about, I highly recommend this 30 minute clip from the brilliant (and very funny) John Oliver. It’s from the previous week’s show. Yes, he has problems with Biden, but he is laser focused on the real issue. It’s real education about Project 2025, Schedule F, and the bat guano crazy radical right extremists plans for America. Warning: It includes many adult words.

Everything Trump touches dies. That includes America.

Be woke.
