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.

Perhaps. We'll never know because Trump decreed it die, and Johnson said "yessir".

Again, you guys can chant this, but literally nobody in the conservosphere was going "Yay! A bipartisan border bill! Wow! How cool!" and certainly no one on the GOP side in the House of Representatives was.

The root issue here is that you guys really do believe that this bill was a great thing, don't you? I get that you guys like to tout the fact that for the first time in decades the democrats actually negotiated something, but that says a lot more about the d's than the R's.

It was the best bill you will ever get for another generation or more. The circumstances have now changed, and even that bill likely wouldn't pass today because it was mostly stick, very little carrot. If allowances aren't made for DREAMERs, it is almost certainly dead before it is even proposed.

Think so, eh?
Why did Biden take executive action - that this board except for yours truly said was impossible - to stem the tide?
