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.

That's going to be disappointing to the base. It's one thing to fail to get a conviction - it's even worse to try and fail to even get the impeachment out of the House.

Really? I don't think the majority of the base is paying THAT much attention. They get their 'news' filtered through the right wing media and will likely just be mad that the Republicans were thwarted in their righteous attempt to impeach Mayorkas. It's theater and the details don't matter that much.

To wit...some comments from news articles about Mayorkas on YouTube. It fires up the base! That's what matters.

- He literally has broken every immigration law we have. GOP should've been in this from day 1

- With the severity of what is obviously dereliction, we don't need all these committees and pomp. We need to stop these criminals NOW! Enough with the discussions

- Too much damages has been done by Mayorkas, he must go to jail for the rest of his life.

- Close the border! Get the crime family out of the white house! And put these miserable criminals in prison!

- He is a traitor, get him out of there now !

- It's been too long, time is now! Start the ball rolling, then get Biden and Harris and theadministration,and all involved!


etc, etc, etc.

This is the MAGA base and the GOP knows exactly how to yank their chain and keep them angry and motivated.
