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: Biden's already there. It's undeniable; you folks should understand that even if he wins, there's a 0.0% possibility he'll be able to serve out all 4 years.

Yeah, you guys said that about Hillary too and she looks and sounds just fine today.

Below is a link to the transcript of president Biden's interview with Time Magazine on May 28. He was clear, detailed, and when fact checked by Time, they found his answers were correct.

In short, you're delusional. You're in the cult.

When the convicted felon and rapist is speaking anywhere, he rambles lies about the 2020 election being stolen -- completely false -- talks about being electrocuted by boat batteries or being eaten by sharks. He's repeatedly said wind turbines cause cancer. He was in Arizona and thought he was in Texas.

Even Sean Hannity had to stop him during a recent interview and ask him to focus.

HANNITY: "Stay focused for just a second."

Here's Trump speaking at a recent rally: “I say what would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there. By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. You notice that? A lot of shark. I watched some guys justifying it today. Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what, who she was. These people are cray. He said there’s no problem with sharks they just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming. Now really got decimated and other people too. A lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat. 10 yards over here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking? Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because, I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer He said, you know, nobody’s ever asked that question. I said, I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water, but you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark.”

Sure sounds like he's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Trump almost never talks about policy or the future -- other than cutting taxes or punishing women who have abortions or people he thinks looked at him sideways -- and when he does there's absolutely no specificity; it's just "I won't let that happen".

Face it, you're in a cult that backs a rapist guilty of business fraud who tried to block the peaceful transfer of power -- the hallmark of democracy -- calls lawbreakers "heroes" and "patriots" and called American war dead "suckers" and "losers," and who stole more than 100 of the nation's most highly classified and top secret documents and left them in an unlocked bathroom and on an open ballroom stage accessible to thousands of people.

Americans mean nothing to him. He even said it clearly: "I don't care about you."

That republicans back this criminal is absurd, a dangerous cult of personality.
