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.

"You apparently are not a big believer in "The Buck Stops Here.""

I am a big believer in intellectual consistency and honesty.

Did you blame Trump for the pandemic that happened on his watch? Millions died.

You mention chaos on college campuses. Did you ever blame Trump for the chaos surrounding the BLM protests that occurred during his watch? That was much, much worse than what is going on now on college campuses.

Did you blame Trump for the big increases in illegal immigration that happened the first two years of his term (until the pandemic pretty much stopped all immigration)?

Of course not. So it looks like you are not a "The Buck Stops Here" person either, unless it is a Democratic president. Intellectually inconsistent and dishonest.

------------------------------------------------------

I will help you out though. Do you know why you cannot give specific examples of how those are related to Biden and his governance? Because the poor information sources you use do not discuss specific details, they just tell you "Trump Good, Biden bad" and you lap it up like a good little puppy. So that is why you think Trump is better than Biden. When you get into actual detailed discussions (like you did with Albaby on immigration) you get your behind handed to you when it comes to facts and details.

The country can't survive ignorance by its voters. A democracy requires a well-informed populace. Do better.
