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 am fascinated by this sentiment. What does "coming for you" mean in your circumstances? Do you mean physically like a knock on your door in the middle of the night Roger Stone style and hauled away to the gulag for being a dissident, or are you referring to something more abstract?


Some of them haven't just drunk the Kool-Aid, they've mainlined the powder and gotten it past the blood-brain barrier. They really do think that if Trump wins he's going to lock up people who didn't vote for him. Or something else equally fanciful.

Never mind that when given the golden opportunity to jail anybody he wanted - COVID - that he didn't do it. Just like how they talked themselves into thinking that Biden wasn't senile they've worked themselves into a frenzy over Trump. If he wins there will be riots in the streets.
