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 have interacted at times in the past with a few on the right. I may not have interacted with you because I've seen enough to believe it to be pointless.

You seem like someone who draws conclusions absent evidence, which you've done here. Normally I ignore what you say but the level of self-delusion in that post was just too much to pass up.

You want context? The most immediate example that comes to mind, as I referenced, is the Epstein files. I think it was you, but it could have been someone else on the right, somehow came up with the idea that the left doesn't want the Epstein files released because it could incriminate Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, etc. The general response was "No, we do want the Epstein files released, and anyone who committed a crime should be prosecuted". I could easily enough have missed it, but I have not seen any of our board residents on the right take a similar position. What is your position on the matter of the release of the Epstein files?

LOLOLOLOLOL. Where was this Sense of Justice when Epstein was first jailed? For that matter, where was this "Believe All Women" stuff when Bill Clinton's (multiple) accusers came forward? Or Joe Biden's?

Come on. This imagined response of "anyone who committed a crime should be prosecuted" literally isn't a part of the history of the political left. This claim gets even funnier when it comes to political violence.

I have seen you called out on a very regular basis for not being able to accurately state the beliefs of those of us on the left.

Here's the thing: you people twist yourselves into mental knots all the time. We have a saying on the right: "Want to know what leftists are doing? Check out what they accuse everyone else of". Truer words never spoken.

Take this thread. It's hysterical that after literally 25 years of calling Republicans Nazis (Trump is merely the latest) you folks are now lining up behind the ACTUAL Nazi. Just as predicted, btw.

Here we have yet another example.

Yeah, not so much. Try harder.
