The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Just as news outlets were celebrating a new Donald Trump, a calmer, more presidential man who would turn the page and embrace a new tone to "unify America," he unleashed another unhinged diatribe in which he called January 6th a "Hoax."

TRUMP: "As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts — The January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a decades old photo in a line with her then husband does not count), and the Georgia “Perfect” Phone Call charges. The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME."

Leopards cannot change their spots. Narcissistic psychopaths cannot become sane. Or if you prefer it sung: meet the new Trump, same as the old Trump.

On the convention floor in Wisconsin, republicans chanted "Fight! Fight! Fight!" which, evidently, is code for "unify America."

Or something.

In other news, Rubio and Burgum are out. Reportedly, Vance was driven to the convention today by motorcade. And Haley will now attend after initially declining to be there.

So who's it gonna' be? Vance or Haley?
