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.

bighairymike: The caravans were shown marching along in nice white Biden T-shirts but the optics is bad so you don't see that much anymore.

Are you really this gullible?

In this tightly framed video about two-dozen migrants appear at the port of entry in brand spanking shiny new white Biden t-shirts that don't have a spot of dust or dirt on them -- not even a wrinkle -- after marching hundreds of miles across the desert. Naw, doesn't look staged, at all.

First, here's the actual photo, not the Sky News -- Media Bias Fact Check: "Borderline Questionable and Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks, unproven claims, and the promotion of conspiracy theories and misinformation" -- tightly framed video that makes the gullible think this is some gigantic caravan: gettyimages.com - Dpatop march mexico san ysidro a group of migrants news photo

Second, "the biggest rally that Biden ever had"? This scary t-shirted "caravan" is 22 people, mostly women and children.

From March, 2021.

I mean, fer' cripessake, they're all wearing masks, a dead giveaway that this is early on in the pandemic.

I swear, you people are nuts.
