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.

AlphaWolf: I never thought you were.

Like Jeff Timmer wrote this morning: "Think about the absurdity of this situation. Donald F*cking Trump, vulgarian vainglorious oaf. The most extraordinary failure in history has co-opted 74 million of the most malignant and/or broken-brained cretins in the U.S."

I never used to think republicans were malignant and/or broken-brained cretins; we simply disagreed on policy or social platforms. But now, after eight years of watching Trump's hateful lying, his grift, and his efforts to destroy democracy, to support Trump they really have to be malignant and/or broken-brained cretins. Despite what albaby1 has said in searching for reason inside the insanity, sorry, it just ain't there.

By way of example, a reporter asked a Trump rallygoer waiting in line on September 11 about the attacks, what he remembered. He said it was president Obama's fault we were attacked because Obama was on vacation and not in the Oval Office to prevent or react to the attacks.
