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.

Thanks for not calling me names.

I don't do that. I may call a movement (e.g. MAGA) names, but not individuals. Doesn't encourage discussion if we are flinging invectives at each other. I also won't insinuate that you are on drugs, or should be medicated, as others have done to me. Again, hard to discuss things.

As for "future prospects", we actually have the convict Trump's record to refer to. He ballooned the deficit, did nothing on the border -that was legal-, handled COVID poorly, strained our relationships with our allies**, was reluctant to stop an insurrection, denigrated our military and intelligence services...the list is really long. None of that is "security and prosperity". Biden has reversed most of that damage, and things are going pretty smoothly right now.

Harris likely would continue many of those policies, but I don't recall now what her campaign issues were in the primaries four years ago. I'm sure we'll hear about it in the coming days. Not that it will matter much to me since I will NOT(!!!) vote for a corrupt, racist, rapist, convicted felon suffering from dementia, who quite literally is a moron (i.e. not very intelligent) even prior to his dementia onset, easily manipulated by people praising him.




**I just read recently that NATO leaders are planning a "US abandons us" scenario in case convict Trump wins. That speaks volumes about their expectations.
