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.

A minority - a Liberal ---who wants to beat Trump and govern.

"Govern" in that he thinks that his party has more Jed Bartletts laying around that they can run. They don't have very many and the ones they do have aren't...ahem...acceptable. Shapiro in PA? Dude gets votes. But he's Jewish so they'll *never* nominate him. Beshear out in Kentucky is from the icky part of the country so he's out, too.

No, they need to wander around the Wilderness of Stupid for a while until they figure out that they're the ones that need to change, not the majority of the country. Literally nobody wants their policies, at least the ones the left is able to articulate - but they're so shockingly out of touch with reality on so many things they need to press a giant reset button somehow.

I don't see them growing brains any time soon. Having monopolies over the media, over popular culture, Hollywood, academia and the administrative state has ingrained in them a mentality that they're always right. They never have to think or question; they just *KNOW*. Yeah, not so much. Can you name single policy that gets repeated on this board as being even remotely workable? All they know how to do is chant things but when you push for depth you learn...they have none.

For laughs I think I'll keep periodically posting the combat strength of our super staunch NATO allies, all of whom are committed to The Cause and are willing to fight right down to...the last Pole or American. The British Army has maybe 25 tanks that can fight. Care to guess how many ships the Royal Navy has now?
