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.

The absence of a crime committed in their jurisdiction.

All bets are off now. That's what you're not getting.

It's the delusion that Trump didn't do anything illegal, but they convicted him, therefore it must be easy to convict people of crimes even though they didn't actually do anything illegal. The thought that Trump was susceptible to being convicted because he had done something illegal simply doesn't occur, so they don't see how or why Democrats could escape retribution....

You're not understanding what was just done here: The Biden admin, through its proxies, just convicted its major political opponent of a bunch of BS felonies. The democrats threw away most of "The Norms" we operate on as a country.

Why do you think there should be Business As Usual after this? There are people in the country who think this is BS and needs to stop. What makes it worse is the piousness of the "But the Rule of Law..." intonements coming out of this. There was no "Rule of Law" here; this was a contrived trial to Get The Bad Orange Man from the get-go.
