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.

The left dismisses accountability as if Biden was utterly powerless to alter the plan left to him by Trump. Too bad Biden didn't feel that way about Trump's border policy.


Yup. That's the "Super President" argument. It works like this:

Stuff that the democrats like? The Super President's orders are to be followed no matter what the next Chief Exec says.
Stuff that the democrats don't like? The current President is completely powerless - and blameless - and thus it's all the past guy's fault.

Trump said, 'let's withdraw'...but he set conditions on that statement. Nobody told Joe Biden to ignore those and pull out as fast as he could...just so he could book a political win.
