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.

hclasvegas: trump is a putz but the FACTS aren't really debatable, the moderators were in the tank bud.

Kirk, Halperin, and Smerconish? That's quite the team of debate experts.

Let's look at Kirk's first example: "Kamala called it a 'lie' that she supports mandatory confiscation of firearms. But in 2019, Kamala said she wanted a mandatory buyback of all 'assault weapons.'"

2019? Before Trump entered politics, he was pro-choice. The moderators didn't call him a liar for changing his position over the years. Why would they call Harris a liar for changing her position over five years?

As for his next example, it was clear that Harris was talking about elective abortions in the third trimester, not medically necessary medical care. Anyone who thinks there are thousands of women deciding to end a perfectly viable pregnancy in the third trimester are nuts. Third trimester abortions require specialized facilities and medical teams. And most medical care providers are not going to abort a viable pregnancy in the third trimester. If you have evidence this is a routine procedure, provide it.

And clearly, no one is killing a baby after the baby is born. That's murder and illegal in all fifty states, as the moderator said.

And his racists comments about Haitian immigrants? You think that crazy nonsense shouldn't have been instantly fact checked? C'mon.

The moderators let DonOld tell lie after lie without fact checking him but what kind of credibility would they have if they allowed him to spew racist nonsense and or let people watching at home believe that newly delivered babies are aborted?

For a guy who claims not to love Trump, you sure spend a lot of time defending Trump.
