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.

bighairymike: Unsaid: Department policy is to delay and withhold as much negative information about any Biden for as long as possible.

Umm, what? This is the worst possible outcome for president Biden: an unresolved issue that hangs over the campaign forever. If Garland or Weiss were doing anything to favor the president, it would have been, to rephrase Henry II, to rid him of this meddlesome attorney general.


bighairymike: Rhetorical Question: This has been a long time coming Mr Garland. David Weiss has been conducting the investigation for some time time now, so why today to make this announcement? Is it to avoid facing up to the boiling furor over the whistleblower accusation and conflicting statements by the DOJ whether Weiss had been handcuffed in the investigation?

Umm, because Weiss asked to be made special counsel on Tuesday?

And c'mon, republicans don't need reasons to blow smoke or spout lies, it's in their DNA.
