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.

TRUMPEDO: If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT...


The closer we get to the midterms and a likely GOP loss in one or both houses, the closer we will get to Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. Trump isn't coy, he tells us what he plans to do. He will force or manufacture some incident as justification. The worst of MAGA will cheer him on. The media will be increasingly garroted and silenced.

That's the nightmare scenario that is possible because the Republican Party has become so corrupt and fascistic. Republicans in Congress are a bunch of castratos. As an example, just look at Lindsey Graham and the way he now kisses Trump's ass; such a disgusting, shameful and sadly typical GOP/MAGA behavior. And his private army of brownshirt goons will do his dirty work.

Listening to Trump's 'speeches' lately, he sounds ever more narcissistic and megalomaniacal. And more demented than ever. But Joe Biden!

How the hell did the American electorate decide to give this monster a second term! Years of RW propaganda and demagoguery are at least partly to blame.

What a mess.

You know who is loving this? Putin and every other enemy of our democratic republic.
