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.

Goebbels would admire the modern GOP.

This week, Republicans have tried to rewrite the four years of Trump’s presidency as a time of unparalleled peace, prosperity and tranquility: “the strongest economy in history,” as Senator Katie Britt of Alabama put it. The difference between Trump and Biden? “President Trump honored the Constitution,” said Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota. Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia offered Mr. Trump’s first term as an example of “common-sense conservative leadership.”

Come on Trumpers...even you can see this isn't even close to true. "Trump honored the Constitution"!! OMG the brazen lies. But given MAGA's cultish mindset, they know they can get away with the most extreme lies.

Trump couldn't be bothered to read the Constitution. He didn't have the patience to have someone read it TO him. He has no use for our Constitution.

The record of what Mr. Trump actually did in office bears little resemblance to that description. Under his leadership, the country lurched from one crisis to the next, from the migrant families separated at the border to the sudden spike in prices caused by his trade war with China to the reckless mismanagement of the Covid pandemic. And he showed, over and over, how little respect he has for the Constitution and those who take an oath to defend it.

Here's a timeline that exposes how ludicrous the GOP attempt to rewrite history is. I know...MAGAs won't give a shit.
