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.

Maduro is a bad guy Trump is a bad guy.

an unelected bad guy Trump tried to steal an election.

who supports our international adversaries Trump supports Putin - another bad guy. Trump likes bad guys.

and suppresses the Venezuelan people who would otherwise be our ally.

Republicans believe in suppression, 1. voter suppression - the fewer people that vote the better for Republicans.

I think you need to read some Latin American history. Chavez didn't get along with Bush and called him the devil.

Why do you resist every effort to curtail his capacity to make trouble?" - BHM

We don't. We didn't resist in the past. We are entering a new era of gunboat diplomacy, or drugboat diplomacy if you prefer.

Your characterization "Trumps efforts to clean up the neighborhood" would be humorous if we didn't have such richly bad past. Remember St Reagan? We instituted a coup de tat in 1954 in Guatemala and later Reagan proclaimed Montt who lead the Mayan Genocide to be "a man of great personal integrity" who was "totally dedicated to democracy", and "a fine Christian man". No one believes Trump is interested in cleaning up the neighborhood. You can paint that mule white, but it's still a mule, and it might be the mule from hell.
