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.

More blowing smoke, distraction, misdirection, straw men

Sorry, that stuff came straight from the other guy.

No, it's you dope, that's all you, and what's more, you know it and don't care. It doesn't bother you at all to lie, gaslight, misdirect, misrepresent, tell half truths, fake laughter, create straw men, deliberately attempt to create confusion.

The is no "they're coming for me", it's "they're coming for our democratic institutions". Our society was run quite a bit on norms and behavioral institutional understandings that P2025 plans on trashing. Since Trump tried to trash them last time, I assume he'll relish the job. And where there are laws in the way, the reinterpretations of the law are already stockpiled and waiting for the yes-men lackeys as they fire anyone that gets in the way. Our only hope is a few people come to their senses and vote to keep our democratic institutions and way of life that the rest of us want to keep. The Deep State doesn't exist. It's all pretty much in the open and seen much better in DC.
