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.

Steve,

in trying to corral everything possible against the target of your argument (in this case Lindsey Graham) you over-complicate the argument and bring in irrelevancies.

Graham behaved a certain way 20 odd years ago during the Bush 43 administration. O.K.

That's not really relevant to your argument that he is a lickspittle Trump sycophant.

It's relevant to your cognitive dissonance, you thought he was a better man than he appears to you to be, with respect for Trump.

But stick with the immediate present day argument.

What exactly is Graham doing that irritates you with respect to Trump? He is a Trump sycophant according to you.

O.K. but that's too generic of an argument since it pretty much can be used by the Left as to ANYONE who agrees with TRUMP about ANYTHING.

That's the problem with you lefties being over the top and hyperbolic with respect to every politicians and every issue on which you disagree.

If everything Trump does is wrong and evil, fundamentally, then leftist lunatic lesbians will take that as an incitement to run over ICE agents with their SUVs.

If your argument is that you disagree with Graham about anything, that's fine, that's your right. What other than the fact that he is a Trump sycophant do you disagree with him about?

Stick to THAT issue, what's the issue? Today not when Bush was President.
