The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

They're the opposition party. They disagree with him about what is necessary to "right the ship," and of course they will exercise what powers they have to oppose him pursuing policies that they disagree with. Which is what every opposition party does, by definition.

Opposition parties don't usually gin up conspiracy theories ginned up from paid foreign agents. Opposition parties don't use said bogus information to obtain bogus search warrants and lie to the FISA court so as to gain the ability to wiretap American citizens.

And opposition parties don't use all that stuff to set up a running 2 year stunt with a farce of an impeachment proceeding.

The democrats did all that. They're not an opposition party; they're acting more like an outfit hellbent on disrupting the government.

So if I'm Trump, I:
-Assume they have the worst in mind
-Assume every word they say is a malicious lie
-Act accordingly

Hence the sped up appointment process.
