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.

President Biden.....

To the chagrin of my friends on the Right, I've always liked you and was proud to vote for you in 2020. That doesn't mean I agree with everything, it just means I like decency, someone who has lived life, a solid marriage and family, humor and a man whom I feel means well and is an American.

You fit that bill.

My disagreements aside, methinks history will be kind to you.........while your own side, impatient, ungrateful, and riddled with hate for the other guy were anything *but* kind to you. Or even fair to you. They loved touting economic stat after stat. "Payrolls!" "SP 500!" "The DOW!!!!!!" and even though it's pure Club 401K dumb to give full credit, OR full blame to the President, they supposedly lauded you over Covid, and over an economic comeback.

But then they threw you out - with common trash. Didn't even put you in the recycle bin. Didn't even sell you to a pawn shop but literally like trash. they tossed you aside just like I and Dope1 said they would. And they did it for an empty suit because all that mattered to them was nominating a winner.

Well, they got what they wanted, a winner - lol.

The Problem wasn't you sir. It was Club 401K and Sheeple. In their Smug insulated out of touch bubbles. Those bubbles are geographic, those bubbles are socioeconomic and their arrogance and snobbery once again, didn't allow them to see it. Even now - they'll spend 4 years hollering about every problem that might or might NOT be Trump's fault but as usual, introspection won't be on their agenda.

It was them sir. It was not you. It was them who betrayed you. Not Limbaugh or Bush but rather it was Obama and Pelosi and Schumer who betrayed you.

Anyhow, my hope is you enjoy some years of retirement living a life of quiet courage, and of enjoyment with your grandkids and respectfully, with your accomplished and stunning Wife.

I think history - will be kind to you.

And I am sad I missed the chance to vote for you this time.

Anyhow, that's that sir.
