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.

Dope1: Except they didn't. They allowed Harris to repeat debunked falsehoods and actually changed the rules 30 minutes before the debate.

Which "debunked" falsehoods? And which rules were changed 30 minutes before the debate (link to the rules posted below)?

Dope1: Then some things they were allegedly "fact checking" about Trump turned out to be...misleading and false.

Again, which things? That doctors perform abortions of live, healthy newborns? Nope, that's a lie.

That Haitians are eating the pets? Nope, officials in Springfield confirmed there were no pets being eaten by Haitians.

That Trump never admitted losing the 2020 election? Nope, Trump had recently conceded on three separate occasions that he had lost the election to President Biden — despite years of not publicly admitting defeat.

That crime in the US had skyrocketed during the Biden administration because migrants are being allowed into the country? Nope, crime rates across the board are down significantly and it's been confirmed by study after study that migrants commit fewer crimes than natural born citizens.

Dope1: If Harris was any good as a candidate she would have done this herself. But she's horrible at this and thus needed the help.

Harris kicked Trump's ass for 90 minutes. Man up, admit it, and move along. You people sound delusional and pathetic. Democrats faced reality after president Biden's disastrous debate performance. We didn't whine that the rules were changed or Biden lost because Trump spewed a firehose of lies. MAGA republicans just refuse to leave the delusions of TrumpWorld despite repeatedly being shown that their emperor has no clothes..
