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.

he wants to hit the ground running and get things done. The democrats have zero interest in doing anything that would help him right the ship and as such will do everything in their power to block him asserting control over the federal government.

That is exactly what Republicans did 4 years ago when Biden won the Presidency and Democrats were in slim control of Congress. I'm sure you lauded Republicans at that time for opposing everything that Biden and the Democrats wanted to do.

The shoe is now on the other foot. Republicans are in the White House and have slim control of Congress. Democrats are going to do now exactly what Republicans did then. Except for the lies about election integrity and the dozens of frivolous court cases and the insurrection.
