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.

Tucker Carlson was so excited about the Moscow subway and, after gushing over its wonders, he took the opportunity to deride the New York subway and to imply that Putin's style of governing was superior to ours. Let me say it again: What an ASS. A traitorous ASS that man is.

Tucker apparently didn't bother to study the history of the Moscow subway. Built by Stalin as a propaganda tool to show how the Soviet system was superior to western democracies (which, of course, it wasn't). Resources were taken from other parts of the USSR to pour into this propaganda piece. In the meantime 5 million people were starving to death in the USSR. But, hey, it is a pretty subway.

And Tucker's timing: Praise Putin and the Russian 'system' while Putin is killing Navalny.

He's the equivalent of past traitors who broadcast propaganda from the enemy. We may not be at war with Putin, but anyone with the least bit of knowledge of current events and history understands that Putin is an enemy of democracy, ours and any others around who world.
