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.

None of the stuff you mention is criminal. I don't think any of it is illegal. Very little of it would even support being fired under applicable civil service rules - Albaby

Are you saying that we are more-or-less stuck with this sort of governance,

*Lying with the intent of interfering with governance (RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIA)
*Lying with the intent of altering elections (Hunter's laptop)
*Selective prosecution of political enemies (not just Trump, but sentencing grandmas for praying on sidewalks while letting Antifa rioters walk)
*Treating parents at school board meetings like terrorists
*Incompetence at basic functions (the Secret Service) -
nice list, kudos to Dope


There are humans involved with conceiving, planning, ordering, carrying out, and covering up every item on dope's list. Yet somehow most of these actual humans are not even identified, let alone sanctioned.

So how do you play the governing game when the administrative state is isolated, protected, and not accountable to the citizenry. Vote in a new president? Pointless, as far as the swamp goes, since a new president who, according to you, is powerless to drain even a drop of swamp.
