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.

ges: I'm waiting for any of the righties on this board to come out publicly and say they won't support Trump.

Will they?


Never.

Let's review the many off ramps open to those here who have blindly remained traveling on the convicted felon's golden highway:

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump failed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic which killed hundreds of thousands of people. As the Lancet Commission wrote, “many of the cases and deaths were avoidable,” but “instead of galvanizing the US populace to fight the pandemic, President Trump publicly dismissed its threat (despite privately acknowledging it), discouraged action as infection spread, and eschewed international cooperation.”

-- A few republicans here have repeatedly criticized former president Obama and president Biden for drone strikes and civilian deaths yet casualties from U.S. drone bombings rose significantly under convicted felon Donald Trump and the administration buried evidence of their crimes. Trump’s support for the Saudi war in Yemen enabled horrendous atrocities. He launched indiscriminate bombing campaigns in Syria and Iraq.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump has repeatedly bragged about the elimination of Roe, only possible thanks to Trump-appointed judges, which will harm and kill women. He has suggested he will support a federal ban on abortion and approves of prison time for women who have abortions and for medical care providers who perform abortions.

-- As president Biden visits France to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, convicted felon Donald Trump is on record calling American war dead suckers and losers.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump refused to admit defeat in 2020, and weeks before election day claimed it was rigged. For the first time in history, he, the outgoing president, refused to attend his successor's inauguration.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump urged his supporters to come to Washington on January 6 and take back their country. He incited his cult to march to the U.S. Capitol and egged on their violence by tweeting that the vice president had failed them.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump was found liable for sexual assault.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump was found liable for defamation.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump bribed witnesses who might testify against him.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump pardoned several felonious co-conspirators to gain their silence.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump even pardoned Steve Bannon, a man found guilty of stealing millions of dollars from Trump's own supporters.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump removed cartons of government property, including more than 100 to the nation's most top secret classified documents, claimed he didn't have them, was subpoenaed, raided, and then falsely claimed all the documents had been returned. He then obstructed efforts to get back top secret documents he still retained after leaving them unprotected in a publicly accessible bathroom and on a ballroom stage.

-- Convicted felon Donald Trump, umm, well, this list could go on and on and on.

Infrastructure Week, anyone? Mexico will pay for a wall? Gold sneakers? NFTs? He'll withdraw from NATO? Tried to extort Ukraine?

Almost every one of his former top level cabinet officials have refused to endorse him and have said he should never be president again.

His own vice president said he will not vote for him.

So, no... the cult is either too stupid or too brainwashed to ever abandon their Orange Jesus.

And Biden wears funny shoes.
