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.

Dope1: X (Twitter): Post, by @EndWokeness...

CNN reporter Laura Coates...


Do you really expect to be taken seriously when your main source of information lately is some guy named "End Wokeness" on Twitter (or X)?

I'll admit to knowing nothing about Laura Coates but I can Google, and a quick search tells me she graduated with a B.A. from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and earned her J.D. from the University of Minnesota, a decent law school (ranked #16 nationally). She worked first in private practice before moving on to the United States Department of Justice as a federal prosecutor where she worked in both the Bush and Obama administrations, specializing in the enforcement of voting rights. She was also an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, prosecuting violent felony offenses, including drug trafficking, armed offenses, domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault. In 2016, she moved on to CNN and is no longer a practicing attorney. She has written features and provided research to The Washington Post and the Boston Herald and has also written two books.

In short, she sounds reasonably successful and well accomplished.

So, lessee, some guy named "End Wokeness" or Laura Coates?

Gee, another tough call.

As for whether or not vice president Harris has faced -- or continues to face -- sexism, well, c'mon, how many women have been elected president in the nation's history? And that Equal Rights Amendment never did pass, did it?

But no, no sexism in America.

BTW, what were vice president Pence's main accomplishments?
