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: LOL. This gets said a lot, but the mainstream media has been lying and gaslighting you for years. All those things I said? They did them. NBC's history of making up shit goes all the way back to Dateline NBC and them blowing up trucks. Who could also forget them doctoring the Zimmerman 911 call to make it raaaacist? And many more.

Right. You've got what, a handful of examples from decades of air time, one going back three decades? Fox "News" lies every single day. They paid $750 million dollars for defamatory lying. They're still lying about the 2020 election.

Give me a break.

Dope1: “Defund the police” was the rallying cry of liberals in the Summer of 2020, motivating “mostly peaceful” protests that led to property damage in excess of two billion dollars across at least 20 US states

We've gone over this as well and you continue to ignore the fact that several of those riots like the one in Minneapolis, were started by guys like the "Umbrella Man," who began damaging the Autozone – which was eventually set on fire and destroyed – to turn what had been largely peaceful protests violent.

There are several examples of white nationalists intentionally sparking violence at various protests.

Like Ivan Harrison Hunter, a self-proclaimed member of the “boogaloo bois,” who fired 13 rounds from a semi-automatic assault-style rifle at a Minneapolis police station.

As far as "defunding the police" is concerned, that's now republicans and Dementia Don's plan: strip the FBI and CIA of all funding and kill those agencies.
