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.

>>Nope. They can't catch them all. If they didn't have to investigate domestic terrorism, they'd have more time for this.<<

I know! So many parents at school board meetings and little old ladies praying outside abortion clinics. There’s only so many hours in the day, amirite? = Dope

I wonder what our liberal apologists see here,

I>In the earliest public comments after the attack was reported, New Orleans mayor LaToya Cantrell told the media that the attack was a "terrorist attack." However, she was immediately contradicted by FBI Special Agent Althea Duncan, who confidently declared that this was "not a terrorist event," a public posture that the FBI maintained for a significant amount of time in spite of apparently being aware that the suspect had driven a truck packed with explosives into a crowd while flying an ISIS flag.

What I see is the FBI yet again lying to the American people about what they know. Here they could have said the large ISIS flag suggested there could be a terrorist connection which is under investigation along with other possible motives.

It is almost like FBI default position is to first exercise spin control, then later backtrack if forced to. The initial whitewashing of the suspect's support for ISIS is just more evidence of the rot existing within the FBI leadership. "Did FBI Special Agent Althea Duncan get orders from Washington to issue this particular initial assessment?" I wonder if liberals even see this as an important question.
