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.

LurkerMom: That idiotic senator was not wearing a suit, just scruffy street clothes. He was not wearing his Senator badge, he did not identity him self, no one recognized him or knew who he was.

Umm.

He was escorted upon entering the building by a member of the National Guard and an FBI agent. And, in fact, he did identify himself.

The video from the Thursday press conference in Los Angeles shows Padilla identifying himself as a U.S. senator, walking forward and saying that he wanted to ask Noem a question. The California Democrat was then pushed by security through the door of the room, taken to the ground and handcuffed.

LurkerMom: The senator was pushing and forcefully trying to lunge his way into the DHS newser...

Also false. Either you're misinformed or you're lying.

Senator Lisa Murkowski: “I’ve seen that one clip. It’s horrible. It is — it is shocking at every level. It’s not the America I know.”

Republicans applaud Mad King Donald's Gestapo assaulting a United States Senator who had the nerve to raise his voice to ask a question and at the same time celebrate Mad King Donald's attempt to remove elected state officials from office and pardoning felons and terrorists who violently stormed the Capitol, beat police officers with clubs, attacked them with bear spray and mace, and smeared their feces on the buildings interior walls.

You support a criminal regime.
