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.

Every day in Trumplandia is another authoritarian revelation but to watch a peacefully protesting priest get shot in the head with a pepper ball for sport clearly falls into the WTF bucket, no? I mean, at least for anyone who isn't a Nazi. Now if Antifa! had shot a priest in the head, it would have been all over the Post, the NYT, and been on every show on Fox but this priest being shot in the head didn't even seem to make the news.

I guess we've now moved from the "Trump just being Trump" to the "Trump's Gestapo just being Trump's Gestapo" phase of authoritarianism.
