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.

I had posted belly-aching at to why some media putz was sitting so close to Trump and I still take umbrage that putz political hosts have that much influence over policy.

BUT......

It seems Tucker was telling Trump not to go NEO-CON for the VP pick because it would mean an "unfortunate end" to Trump so the NeoCons could take over and proceed to get Americans and other killed as they genuflect for Israel and push Putin even closer to a nuclear war.

I'm impressed.

So far only I've said that.

MAGA and the GOP has made so much progress. On immigration. And then on trade. I remember being called "protectionist!. And then when W came out with immigration reform *some* of the Righties took umbrage when I said it's a sop to low wages.

Now....will it take a few decades for MAGA to realize - that a certain entity is USING them to their own ends, but in reality can't stand them? Like Bill Kristol and the whole Cabal of newCons who used you to go get Americans killed in Iraq and then found reason to criticize most of your domestic policies?

#FreePalestine.

I know I know. I heard it on TMF. "My ideals!" "My Principles!" - as Donald shows - so much for all of that.

Stop being used by parasites. Stop getting people you love and people like you - killed for an entity that ridicules you most days of the week.

Next stop - make California a full union state. If families owning fast food franchises have to pay $20 an hour to workers, well by golly, Apple needs to pay $50 to its janitors for starters. And then maybe an excise tax on the slave labor abroad.

The new DEI......
