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.

Quite the conumdrum the left has now.
Biden campaigned on reversing each and every one of Trump’s border policies. And he has, issuing loads of executive orders as soon as he assumed office.

Then the left got to watch people flood over the southern border and lined up to loudly proclaim that the Border Was Secure and The Borfer Is Not Open.

Now that they’re taking it on the chin in the polls on this issue…wE gOTtA sEcURe ThE bOrDeR yOu GuYs. And of course all the stupid policies and mistakes they’ve made are all the fault of the Republicans.

The public won’t buy it.


So let me be clear. My team has been at the table for weeks now with a bipartisan group of senators to negotiate a deal including [the] border because I believe we need significant policy changes, including changes in our asylum system to ensure that we have the [legal] authorities we need to control the border, and I’m ready to act … I think next week we’re gonna be able to work out something, at least in the Senate, and I’m hopeful it is going to be the bipartisan package the Senate is going to pass, God willing.

Now the question is for the [House] Speaker and House Republicans: Are they ready to act as well? They have to choose whether they want to solve a problem or keep weaponizing issues to score political points against the president.

I’m ready to solve the problem. I really am. Massive changes. I mean it sincerely.


You and your Adderal pharmacist have had 3 years to do something and you’ve only made it worse. Solve the problem? From what I’ve seen the ‘bipartisan’ bill will do nothing of the kind.
