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.

You Libtards DON'T WANT TO WIN.

We aren't running for anything. So we don't really have to be careful about what we say.

So we can say "basket of deplorables", and get little blowback. When HRC said it, she was running for something. So, it was stupid for her to say it.

But seriously - you don't realize that if you were serious about 'saving democracy' --- you have to win.

Agreed. And anyone planning to run in 2026 and 2028 needs to be a lot more careful about this topic than anyone on this board.

To me, he was a victim of one of his talking points. He said (paraphrasing) that some lives had to be sacrificed to preserve the 2nd Amendment. I'm sure he didn't plan his being one of them. But it was. If he wasn't a hypocrite, he should be "OK" with it (were he somewhere that he can be aware of anything).

It was a needless, and pointless, death that shouldn't have happened. I hope they got the right perp, and he spends the rest of his life in prison. I don't condone what happened in the slightest.

If someone running for office says what I said about Kirk and the 2nd Amendment, they should probably lose. It's politically naive to say that. I'm not running for anything.

IMO, you should be looking to what public figures are saying. Newsome, O'Rourke (is he completely retired now?), Buttigieg, or any others I haven't heard of or can't think of. What are they saying, and are they sabotaging any future run for POTUS? None of our board members -to my knowledge- matter in the slightest in that regard.
