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.

My apologies for my last post. I was sidetracked by a workman who arrived to do some work, and when I returned to make this post- pasted the wrong quote, so here is the corrected version…….


She must be exhausted.


Interesting conclusion, given that she appeared yesterday afternoon with Liz Cheney in an hour long sit down interview moderated by Sarah Longwell in Pennsylvania, followed by another sit down interview in Madison Wisconsin where she and Cheney answered questions posed by Charlie Sykes and the audience.

She answered the questions asked of her in a forthright manner, displaying both empathy for whoever asked the question, as well as a command of the subject matter and deep understanding of what government can, and CANNOT DO.

As Harris and Cheney continue to make reasoned appeals to Halley voters (the group of Republican voters with the highest percentage of remaining undecideds), Donald J. Trump sways for 39 minutes to his playlist, gets carried away by a story concerning Arnold Palmer’s genitalia, and stages a bizarre performance as a McDonalds french fry cook, followed by a strange convoy to receive a made up french fry award in Asheville, NC, recently devastated by a hurricane- snarling traffic for hours in a city already plagued by road closures, and interfering with ongoing hurricane relief efforts.

In the campaign's final stretch, Harris will appear on "NBC Nightly News" this evening, adding to her recent streak of media interviews.

The number of Republicans who are revolted by Trump continues to grow, and Cheney and Harris, by appearing with conservative interviewers like Charlie Sykes (and Longwell for that matter) are fostering a permission structure for that group of Republicans who have finally had enough- to choose country over party and vote for the Constitutional order rather than a disintegrating old man who consistently voices his desire for autocratic rule.
