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.

But, on a more serious note, you are better than supporting the convict. I mean that in a non-pejorative way. It mystifies me. You engage in long discussions about real issues (like asylum), seem to understand, and then go back to the convict anyway. - 1pg

Yep, I am a complex cultist.

However, I fear a touch of progressive think is drilling into my consciousness like one of Kennedy's brain worms.

I was listening to conservative radio yesterday where the hosts were lamenting all the lawsuits over VA purging illegals from their voter rolls. Their argument was that VA is following a law that has existed for years but now it has become a big deal. The hosts say since they only remove illegals who fail to affirm the correctness of their registration, so what is there to complain about?

I first heard about this issue on this board. I learned that the intended purges are happening too close to election day which does not allow time for legitimate confirmations to be received and processed. So I think if VA wants to do this, then fine, do it throughout the year, not during the run up to an election. And that there is nothing wrong with the lawsuits endeavoring to stop the present process being defended by Gov. Youngkin.

I may check into the MAGA sweat lodge to see if I can shake these progressive thoughts.
