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.

LurkerMom: Viewing the video it is certainly not the case with today's Salvadoran president.

From the Department of Justice:

As further alleged, the defendants have engaged in a litany of violent terrorist activities aimed at influencing the government of El Salvador (GOES) policy and to obtain benefits and concessions from the GOES; targeting GOES law enforcement and military officials; employing terrorist tactics such as the use of Improvised Explosive Devices ('IEDs') and grenades; operating military-style training camps for firearms and explosives; using public displays of violence to intimidate civilian populations; using violence to obtain and control territory; and manipulating the electoral process in El Salvador. Several of these defendants have played prominent roles in MS-13's past and current negotiations with the GOES.

LurkerMom: YaYa, your ongoing complaining of blogs and news sources of the right is soooo boring and monotonous.

But accurate. I have in-laws who send me links which I point out to them are unreliable and incorrect, replying with multiple factual sources. Their response is to send me another lousy source. Some people prefer to live in an echo chamber because they're not interested in information and facts but simply in confirming their beliefs.
