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.

Dope: You're so full of it your eyes are brown.

Not a single one of you has offered ANY kind of compromise with respect to security or tightening things up. Or closing loopholes. Not a one.


Hot air.

<snip>DEC 12 White House open to new border expulsion law, mandatory detention and increased deportations in talks with Congress

The Biden administration on Tuesday indicated to congressional lawmakers that it would be willing to support a new border authority to expel migrants without asylum screenings, as well as a dramatic expansion of immigration detention and deportations, to convince Republicans to back aid to Ukraine, four people familiar with the matter told CBS News.

The White House informed Senate Democrats that it could back those sweeping and hardline immigration policy changes as part of the negotiations over President Biden's emergency funding request, a roughly $100 billion package that includes military aid to Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine, as well as money to bolster border enforcement and hire additional immigration officials.<snip>

This is back in December, but it sure indicates a willingness to compromise in areas of security, tightening things up, and closing loopholes. Maybe you need to rethink you positions? Maybe you should not join in scuttling this until you've thought it through?
