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.

I remember a candidate debate, where Bush waggled his finger at Dukakis, and accused him of being "a card carrying member of the ACLU", an echo of 1950s McCarthyism. Dukakis whipped out his ACLU card, and demanded to know what was wrong with being in favor of human rights.

Steve
****

And then Bush won and Clarence Thomas was on the court.

Versus Bill Clinton who moved Rightward towards the middle and won twice.

Do you prefer Thomas or Ruth Ginsburg?

Fast foward to today.

Ignore a huge swatch of Americans, many of whoe didn't enjoy the 401K high tech economic boom. Shame them for their background and beliefs, make them be demure while they have to salute other heritages and adapt to them. Rinse and repeat for decades.

Top it off with Pronouns.

Kamala, with her fundraising lead and 53% polls----loses.

Trump gets a 2nd term.

I am incredulous that Liberals won't look at the Clinton model.

Oh well. Kimmel gone. Shove the Bill of Rights up your organic fed butts :)
