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.

Prediction:
If Trump wins, there will be riots and a bunch of you people will be justifying the violence.

“Bitch made me do it” will be your justification.


Two can play that game.

If Trump wins, during week 1, he will invoke the Insurrection Act, based solely upon his current rhetoric about immigrants (legal and otherwise), and the imagined hell-scape of all those “crime infested, Democrat run cities”. He may even seek to justify such an action with accusations about migrants eating cats, raping, pillaging, and murderingpillaging,but it will all be a smokescreen (think “Reichstag fire) for a naked grab for absolute power.

This will provoke a crisis within the military itself. Some generals will be all too willing to unconstitutionally throw their support behind this attempt of the president to enlist the military in order to control areas that voted Democratic…while other generals will choose to view this presidential order as unconstitutional and merely an attempt to strongarm the military into becoming Trump’s internal and very political police force of repression.


And then we’ll be off to the tragic race of Civil War.

I know which side I’ll choose. Which side will you choose?


Or….. well, hell….. my crstal ball just clouded over.

Vote for Harris. Stop the madness.
