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.

BHM: You brother may be wrong about "all" but you are wrong to just grant that it was zero.

Please never put words in my mouth. I never said zero. I don't know what fallacy that is, but I don't like it.

We know there was one former FBI agent there. My position is that until you can support it with better than hot air, it's fabricated, and we are talking the stuff of conspiracy theories. Support it with something sold and I'll perk up, take another look, and be happy to do so. My forays have yielded that the Wash DC Police Chief may be the source of this. He has stated there were 60 to 80 agents there, mixed FBI and Homeland Security. But I question this as he was 1. Not in a position to know. As far as I know he didn't go down and watch the picnic close up. And how could he or his crew identify agent? I'm open here, but not to BS. I mean this is the same man who declares there was a system wide intelligence failure about Jan 6. There was enough prescience on the part of the FBI and Homeland Security to have 60-80 agents, but an intelligence failure, because - Deep State, The Biden Crime Family,...

There also has been some press on FBI Informants. Now this is logical. We want informants in crazy right wing groups. It's my understanding that Tarrio? (the head of Proud Boys) was also an informant. It's alleged there was one informant talking to his FBI handler during part of the Jan 6 uprising.

But BHM, the entire claim looks fabricated by the right ... and why? Because the right can't admit that some of you screwed up and went after our democracy? There's just huge piles of evidence that that is what happened Mike.
