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.

“Well, it’s a terrible thing. I think he’s a terrible governor. I think he’s a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too.”

Anyone else notice how when anything goes wrong, Trump is quick to pin responsibility on the person at the top, except for...drum roll...himself, who actually is the person at the top? Does our Inflamer in Chief, the Lyin' King himself, take any responsibility? Nope. And two days later, he still hasn't called Walz. He just keeps on inflaming.

Even MSNBC, which I watched for a few minutes this morning, had enough grace and human decency to drop their bias for a moment to address the issue of political violence in a non-partisan way and cite examples from both sides. But our Divider in Chief? Nope.

Because he likes to talk out of both sides of his mouth, Trump did issue a statement that "Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America".

Can one of his supporters on this board please help me reconcile that statement with the pardoning of all the January 6 rioters and stating that he's considering pardoning the men convicted of plotting to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer? Does anyone else think there might be a connection?
