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.

Only the asylum moratorium was bundled with the trigger. And the reason why you got a resounding NO is because there are very good arguments that the asylum moratorium isn't just good stuff.

Uh, huh. If 5,000 was good enough, why not 1,000 or some other number? No, there was zero willingness to budge. The democrats thought they could somehow ram this through, tie Trump's hands and get Biden off the hook for the border. It didn't work.

It doesn't matter. If you signal that you're not willing to do business - that you won't accept any bill other than your messaging bill - then no one's going to try to do business with you.

You missed the point. This is already happening. democrat constituencies who didn't give a rip about the border for sure give a rip now. That ship's sailed.
