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.

Hi Rand.

We're the people who have been shouting "Democracy"! and "Constitution"! and "Project 2025"!

Ol jedi says we're solely about online talk and nothing else.

But he's wrong.

He says 'were too tribal and fragmented to defeat Trump and MAGA.

but he's wrong.

So.....

Rand........

We disagree with you on most everything but at least you are taking up for the constitution and speaking against Trump - which is a brave thing to do in your party. SO, WE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS offer our full support - financial and voting - to you. We will NOT run a Democratic challenger against you ---- meaning you are not only safe, but you don't have to spend a dime of whatever fundraising war chest you have. IF you lose a key post or chairmanship and we're in the minority ---we'll give you a top committee position vis a vis the minority and IF we get tje majority down the road - yes, you'll be a committee chairman if you want.


NOW, REPUBLICANS who secretly want to stand up, but don't have the balls ---- and are not willing to sacrifice their cushy seat.....see that Rand got all the political and financial cover he needs.

Possible that will be enough to get a handful of GOP Senators and Congressmen to do the same.

So we on the Left held our nose, supported some guys we don't like. BUT we did it in the name of saving "democracy!" and "Constitution!"

Because we actually MEANT it, and those things ARE important to us -- -it wasn't just online bullshit because our guy isn't in power.


Crickets.....chirp chirp. Baaaaaaaaaaa. You may resu,e your online wars now, while Trump shreds your bullshit Constitutional way of life a bit more today. Oh, it's not bullshit? Prove it......I will join.
