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.

"facts can be inconvenient, so feel free to ignore them if they make your head hurt"

The cognitive dissonance in Trump supporters is astounding.
Trump tells them he is going to extend tax cuts, and add new tax cuts. AND Trump tells them he will reduce and even get zero out the national debt. At the same time he asking for the debt ceiling to be raised by what, $4 Trillion ? Now why in the world would he need the debt ceiling
to be raised $4 Trillion if he was going to reduce the national debt ? Any person with half a brain has to know these are 2 very, very conflicting stories. But they don't care. They are
going down with the ship, and are more than willing to take the rest of us with them.

Very much the same story with the moral outrage MAGA is wailing about Biden not being
mentally sharp, and other people running the White House while he was President.
Trump is a much worse scatter brain than Biden ever was. Trump utters conflicting
bullshit statements and conclusions on a daily basis. Not a word about this from MAGA.
Trump on campaign trail " I know nothing about Project 2025". Trump as President, following
Project 2025 to a T. I heard Trump say gas is now selling for $1.99/gallon. Where I'm at,
it's about $2.90/gal. This is such an absolute lie from Trump, but MAGA just swallows it
up. But hey, tariffs are paid by China, not the US consumer, so as more money flows out of our pockets to buy basic stuff, just remember, we're all richer for it /LoL
