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.

You are never going to agree with me on that - but it's not relevant to this conversation. Because if Clinton committed a crime (as you believe), then it is inarguable that Hegseth and Waltz committed a crime by sending classified information about a pending national defense operation over an unsecure app. You're the one with the more expansive view of what the statutes criminalize - which should mean that you would regard Waltz and Hegseth as criminals. But I don't think you're ever going to acknowledge that.

So one starts to ask what Dope1 actually believes. Two distinct possibilities exist. One is that he believes whatever Democrats do is a crime and what ever Republicans do cannot be a crime. The other is that he is a foreign agitator attempting to sow discord and division.

Personally, I'd go for the former over the latter. He's much too obvious to actually be a foreign agent, and his approach isn't winning converts. That's not the kind of smart person foreign governments would employ for such an effort.
