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.

Credible links to any of those claims?

As for the rest of it, if you aren't going to engage civilly, maybe you should leave as you said you were going to do. Confine yourself to your echo chamber if that makes you happy. I note the conservative board is really hopping (not!). Folks like BHM actually want to engage intelligently, and discuss rationally. Dope1 and I have agreed that neither one of us wanted to see the country destroyed, which is at least a basis to discuss issues. That's what most of us are here for. I have neither time nor patience to deal with shrill nonsense. For example, claims that the FBI is a bunch of libs covering for Dems have already been eviscerated.

Yes, my sources are generally reliable. They conform to reality, and are consistently highly rated by independent entities. There is always some bias in any source, even if it's just choosing which stories to run. The sources I use will pick on Obama, or Biden, just as quickly as McConnell, if there's cause. They excoriated Obama about his claim "you can keep your doctor", for example. My sources tend to be near the peak of the distribution (which is where accurate and least bias resides): adfontesmedia.com - Interactive media bias chart Other entities will report similar. I choose them because they are accurate, not because they tell me what I want to hear.

Try international sources...they don't give a crap about Dem or Rep in Britain, they just observe the idiocy and report it. The Guardian, BBC, al Jazeera, Strait Times. They aren't partisan in terms of US politics at all. (Though the BBC is annoyingly pro-monarchy, and proud of it, evidently. But that's not US politics.)
