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: Trump is "our greatest national security threat", a "threat to our democracy", etc. Enough is enough.

Trump has called representative Nancy Pelosi “Crazy Nancy,” “Nervous Nancy an inherently “dumb” person,” a “incompetent political hack,” “Crazy Nancy Pelosi,” “Crazy,” “totally incompetent & controlled by the Radical Left, a weak and pathetic puppet,” “Crazy Nancy Pelosi,” “an incompetent, third-rate politician,” “has allowed her District to go down more than any other in the USA,” “gives us the most unfair trial in the history of the U.S. Congress,” “trying to take over the Senate,” “doesn’t care about American Workers,” is “doing everything possible to destroy the Republican Party,” “tearing the United States apart,” and on and on and on.

Trump said Pelosi is responsible for J6, that she turned down his offer of 10,000 national guard. A lie. To this day he calls her a Marxist, a Communist, and that unless stopped, she will destroy America.

One of his cultists, David DePape, broke into her home. He told police he had planned to break Pelosi's kneecaps if she didn't answer his questions truthfully. She wasn't there so he cracked her husband, Paul Pelosi's skull with a hammer.

Trump then repeated conspiracy theories and joked about the attack, claiming DePape was a male lover of Paul Pelosi's (he wasn't), that the sliding glass doors were broken from the inside out (they weren't), and to this day jokes about the attack.

And you know what: former Reagan officials former Bush 1, Bush 2, and even Trump's own former White House staff say he's a threat to democracy.
