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.

Dope1: Not surprisingly, OP is simultaneously

1) Demonizing people he doesn't like
2) Feeding the same lazy narrative of "Republicans = racists who hate everybody"
3) Demonstrating an utter lack of comprehension of the issue and what the other side thinks.


Wow, look at all those straw men.

Tell me, please, which political party is rushing to pass anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ and "Don't Say Gay" legislation? HINT: it ain't the democrats. And BTW, it's easy to see what "the other side thinks" here -- the disgust and dismissal of the transgender community is expressed plainly throughout these threads.

Dope1: Part of the misunderstanding may be found in point 3) when the OP says I have to say I have no transgender men or women in my personal orbit and never have I ever met someone transgender. It's fair to say that the OP by extension has essentially zero contact with the larger LBGTQAI+ community in any kind of numbers...

You love to make stuff up, dontcha?

No, you cannot, "by extension," make that assumption... although you do it all the time.

Dope1: WASHINGTON (AP) ' Transgender advocate Rose Montoya is no longer welcome at White House events after posting on social media a video of herself and two others going topless for a time at Saturday's Pride Month celebration on the South Lawn.

'The behavior was simply unacceptable,' White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday. 'It was unfair to the hundreds of attendees who were there to celebrate their families.'

Huh. You mean to say that this Family Friendly Event turned out to have elements that weren't so family friendly?

Who knew?


That's like complaining that speed laws are bogus and it's shocking that someone was caught driving 100 mph in a 25 mph speed zone. People do stupid things. People break the law (like that Trump fella') which is why Montoya is prohibited from participating in other Pride Month celebrations at the White House.
