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.

I’m not sure how you’ll take a rebuttal from that left-wing rag, The Wall Street Journal, but here it is anyway:

Playing the Appeal To Authority card is a logical fallacy; you should know that by now. BTW the news division of the WSJ leans left, it's the editorial page that leans right.

During Trump’s four years in the White House, there was no conflict on par with the Israel-Hamas war or Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Hmmm. That doens't seem to fit the narrative you want. Let's see how they try to have their cake and eat it, too in the very next sentence:

But Iran, or Iran-backed proxies, did launch attacks on U.S. personnel in the Middle East and against countries across the region while Trump was president, and he was usually hesitant to respond, wary of further attacks.

So there wasn't a large scale thing...because those folks knew what would happen to them.

You forgot something. Iran fricked around and certain somebodies over there found out.

Remember this? Here, I'll cite a sufficiently left wing source for you:

bbc.com - World middle east

Iran's most powerful military commander, Gen Qasem Soleimani, has been killed by a US air strike in Iraq.

The 62-year-old spearheaded Iranian military operations in the Middle East as head of Iran's elite Quds Force.

He was killed at Baghdad airport, along with other Iran-backed militia figures, early on Friday in a strike ordered by US President Donald Trump.


This clown, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans, is now rotting in hell thanks to Trump.

Keep saying it over and over perhaps it will penetrate. “But he was hesitant to respond”. Or more succinctly, “he ran from every fight.”

I think you're the ones trying to convince yourselves that Biden has a) a spine and b) a functioning brain. He never had the former ever and it's questionable that he ever had b) going for him, either.

Please send the next lib up to the plate.
