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.

And what is amazing the democrats have masterfully characterized the impasse over the Senate Bill as the fault of Republicans.

Because it is. Specifically, House Republicans. More specifically than that, the vocal minority "Freedom Caucus", and some MAGA people (of which there is significant overlap between the two). There is a Dem coalition that also hates this bill, but they aren't large enough to make much difference. So we can safely ignore them. And the real big problem is that Johnson likely won't even bring it to the floor for a vote, and that's ONE man, who happens to be Republican.

So, yeah...it's the fault of the Republicans.
