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’re also one who denied that Biden was cognitively impaired...

I said he was old. As such, he was not as sharp as he was 20 years ago. Contrasting with the Felon, he is old, too. And showing signs of dementia.

When Biden flubbed the debate, I did NOT deny he was impaired. I didn't see it, but from what I read, he clearly was having issues.

Try again.

Also...don't tell me what I think, or my motivations. I know, you don't (except for what I tell you).

My "great switch" away from Republicanism was because I was shown -with actual data- that I was wrong on several things. Unlike many people (on both sides), when shown evidence, I have to rethink my position. Whether it's dark matter, or universal healthcare, the evidentiary process is little different. I still don't like the idea of people getting free medical care. But I can overcome my gut reaction, and look at the numbers and extrapolated consequences.

As for your flawed predictions, there was no tumult on 1/6/25. No storming of the capitol, no smashing of things or attacking police. And there won't be. Because the left, while frustrated, respects the process and accepts the result. I predict that on inauguration day, the Felon will make grand pronouncements (not based in fact, as usual), there may be some isolated protests, but nothing of significance will happen related to the inauguration. Just as nothing of significance happened on EC count and certification day.
