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.

If you tried you could not make it more obvious you're shaking in your boots you are afraid of FOXNews.


???

I'm afraid of an ill-informed public. They end up voting for disasters (like Trump). Fox just got their asses handed to them (though they are trying to spin it as a positive), and I believe another suit is waiting in the wings. They'll probably get their asses handed to them again.

I haven't seen much polling lately, so can't comment. But Biden isn't in the top 10 of the worst POTUSes. Trump has to be #1 or #2. Jackson is among the top of the worst. A few lesser-knowns like Andrew Johnson and Buchanan and Taylor make the lists. Depends whom you ask, of course. But those names consistently appear in the top.

Biden has actually gotten some good things done. He wasn't my first choice in the primaries, but he's been as I expected: a moderate who know how the system works. He'll probably go down in history somewhere in the middle of POTUSes.
