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.

The dam is starting to really leak a lot of water; very soon it will break.

First up is the Establishment of Establishment reporters, Carl Bernstein on how his "sources" have been telling him that Biden's not all there for a long time:

redstate.com - Watergate hero carl bernstein confirms bidens condition unintentionally confirms complicity to hide it

"The Joe Biden we saw the other was not a one-off. There have been 15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show, uh, that we witnessed. And what is significant is the people that this is coming from, and also how many people around the president are aware of such incidents - including some reporters incidently, who have witnessed some of them."

Whatevs, CB. Those of us with 2 functioning eyes have seen Biden's condition for years. It's telling that you had this story and sat on it, but "journalists" haven't been into doing their jobs for over a decade now.

Over the weekend several potential replacements for Biden send out quiet feelers but then deny they were sending out quiet feelers. Big Gretch Whitmer, Newsom, the like. Whitmer even told Team Biden that thanks to the debate Michigan is now a lost cause (she later would walk that back).

But now democrat politicians are starting to openly call for Biden to step down:

X (Twitter): Mychael Schnell on X: "INBOX: Rep. Lloyd DOGGETT (D-Texas) becomes the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to publicly call on BIDEN to withdraw from the 2024 rac

INBOX: Rep. Lloyd DOGGETT (D-Texas) becomes the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to publicly call on BIDEN to withdraw from the 2024 race.

"Rep. Doggett Calls on President Biden to Withdraw"

Doggett has served in the House since 1995.


I've never heard of this guy, but that doesn't matter. The mere fact that some elected dems are starting to break ranks tells us that the dam has some serious cracks in it.
