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.

And prisons in other countries are the new Gulag.

It may be poor optics, but when Dems get control again they need to get those people back. The right-wing will have a conniption, claiming "they're bringing rapists and murderers back", but it needs to be done so that they can have proper adjudication. And if the El Salvador president says he won't do it, we'll have to park an aircraft carrier battle group off his shore and say "are you sure?".

The innocent must go free.

I am curious how much we can hold to account the individuals who did this. For at least the last half of the 20th century, the excuse "I was just following orders" often wasn't good enough. Yes, I'm talking about the individual ICE agents (and others) who knew they were violating rights, and did it anyway. All the way up to Marco Rubio, since the Roberts Court says we can't hold the Felon accountable for anything ever.
