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.

BHM, it is more likely that the Republican party has lost its way. They have been willing to twist and bend the rules for so long, to win elections., that there is no longer respect for this democracy.

Witness the Alabama legislature who refuse to redistrict at the direction of the Supreme Court, Trump's court.


Player, please.

The democrat party today resembles NOTHING of say, the democrat party from JFK's day. Or Jimmy Carter's. Or even Bill Clinton's, for that matter.

And when you object to that statement, consider this:

How many democrats today would support partial privatization of Social Security? The answer is zero. But Bill Clinton did. (cato.org - Clinton wanted social security privatized, among others)

The democrat party used be somewhat rational on a host of issues: immigration. Energy policy. National defense.

Now? Heh.

As far as shenanigans go, let's not go there. I'm going to guess that you want Trump prosecuted for the classified documents but vociferously defended Hillary! and are defending Biden today. I'm also going to guess that you didn't have a problem when the Pennsylvania Secretary of State unilaterally rewrote the mail in ballot rules for the 2020 election.

Let's also not forget the legion of democrats who routinely lie to Congress and abuse their power but are NEVER call to account for it.
