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.

nypost.com - Heavily redacted documents related to search warrant for trumps twitter account released

Special counsel Jack Smith’s comprehensive search warrant for information related to former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account sought the 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner’s search history, drafted tweets, blocks and mutes.

Sure, okay. So Smith wants to look into Trump's tweets.

But here's the fascist part.

The government also sought information on users who interacted with Trump leading up to the riot.

“All information from the ‘Connect’ or ‘Notifications’ tab for the account, including all lists of Twitter users who have favorited or retweeted tweets posted by the account, as well as all tweets that include the username associated with the account (i.e. “mentions” or “replies”),” the warrant states.


That's right. If somebody hit the 'like' button, they're now on a list that Jack Smith has.

This is Stasi-level stuff. It's also not the first time this gang of criminals has done something like this (recall putting parents on watch lists for merely speaking up about school boards).

Had Trump done 1/1,000,000th of this you people, your state-run media and every democrat politician would have melted down all the way to China by now. You'd be screaming in the streets 24/7.

And we'd see posts about FASCISMFASCIM 24/7 on here.

But since this is your team - and since most of the left consists of a bunch of hypocritical performance artists who since they aren't talented enough to do dinner theater they wax hysterical on politics - there's silence.
