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.

So thanks for your *one* story of somebody from 25 years ago, I’ll offer *thousands* from the last few weeks and months on the other side.

Are Democrats afraid? Sure. Trump has actually said out loud he’s out for revenge, and he uses that word. Last time he wouldn’t send or delayed sending disaster relief to states that voted for Hillary. He took money from the Pentagon budget to build his wall that Mexico was going to pay for, then didn’t build the wall anyway.

“I am your retribution.”


LOL. And asked about "retribution" and what it meant at the debate, what did he say?

My retribution is going to be success.

Let me ask you this: Why do you think that democrats - and I'm thinking of the guy in this thread who's saying I'm ready if they come for me!!!!! believe that Trump is going to target them?

Do they think Trump even knows who they are? Or is planning on whacking people who voted against him?

The guy with the bunker and the Hummvee (which was awesome, by the way - it had a mil-grade snorkel and a crane on it, not a mere winch) had a screw loose. He was known to carry grudges so I never bothered to ask him what he ended up doing with all the tear gas.
