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.

Pretty much the truth albaby.

The fact that is most current, however, is that the Democratic Party is in complete disarray, struggling for some Queensberry rule that will enable it to confront the rule free liar and brawler who currently occupies the White House. He has no rules.

The lying and brawling are his MO. None of the lying and brawling is for the benefit of America, but for himself-and it won’t stop until he is stopped.

And that’s the sad truth of it.

The Republican Party has been transformed into a mob of fascist enablers. The Democratic Party is still shell shocked into irrelevance….with a few notable exceptions

The fourth estate is either cowed into silence or chasing shiny objects (BIDEN HAS CANCER!) again with a few notable exceptions.

Meanwhile, the light of democracy is being extinguished as one supposed guardrail after another is being beaten down. The courts are still fighting, but how long will that last if Republicans get their way in the BIG Bastard of a Bill that contains wording that would prohibit the enforcement of court orders?

It’s coming down to We the People. Will we allow the dictator to brawl his way into complete domination of our country and lives?

Is freedom really so cheap that we would trade it for a ticket to Trump’s reality show?

We’re all sitting here horrified while watching the show. Meanwhile, outside the theater walls, the country and form of government are being disassembled.
