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.

…when you fantasize openly about assassination attempts, about reaping whirlwinds, holding up bloody heads, all of it. When you declare that if somebody wins it’s ’the end of democracy’ because the winner is ‘literally Hitler’.

Time for the left to grow up and knock this off. First off, your democrat leaders don’t believe it and never did:

foxnews.com - Progressives enraged democrats reportedly privately admit trump isnt existential threat democracy

"I've had top Democrats say to me, basically, say something like, ‘I don’t know why all these Democrats who think Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy are acting the way they are. But the reason I'm acting the way I am is because I don't think that,'" Klein continued.

"Who the f--- is this?" an angered Miller exclaimed. "Out your sources, Ezra!"

"I find it maddening, but I do find it consistent," Klein responded.

Klein later told Miller, "I think you have to at some point say, whatever these Democrats are saying in public, they're more resigned and more willing to just be the resistance to a Trump presidency than a lot of their public-facing rhetoric would suggest."

"You have a calm voice, but you're skyrocketing my f---ing blood pressure right now," Miller said. "Ezra, I'm just, like, so f---ing mad."


The democrats know they can file up their base of crazies anytime they need some energy. They’re certainly not doing it with outstanding governance.

And this is what happens. Let it be noted that This isn’t the first time. By my count this makes 3.

Steve Scalise.
The guy arrested at Justice Kavanaugh’s house.
And now this.

No more.
