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.

Remember, this is Trump and his band of incompetents we’re talking about.

Why would you even dare think such a nasty thought?

The first fight on illegal drugs I can remember was Nancy and her, “just say no’ slogan.
Since then, the drug trade has escalated to killing thousands of Americans. “In 2023, fentanyl was responsible for about 199 deaths every day. Over a quarter of a million Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses since 2021.”

President Trump is the first President I am aware of who is really serious in ridding our Country of illegal drugs and drug runners by conducting military operations and force.
President Trump has declared an actual war on drugs, mincing no words and action to that fact.

Yet you and the rest of the TDS left cry and moan over the loss of one fisherman’s life that could
have been mistakenly killed, and at the same time hate President Trump’s efforts to save thousands of American lives by actually going to war, a real war on drugs.

In wartime mistakes happen, not intentionally, think Pat Tillman, killed by friendly fire. How many times has that happened? I suspect more than once. The overall intention still, is to win the war.

If the fishermen was innocent, compensate his wife and family, but don’t stop the war on drugs
because of one mistake. President Trump has already saved many American lives sending tons of drugs
to the ocean bed and the drug runners to hell.

Go ahead Padre, choke on the words and give President Trump some credit for his war on drugs and his efforts to save countless American lives.
