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.

why are you?

I have to say it because it’s so true.

This.Does.Not.Matter.To.Them

The people who support him Do Not Care. He can tell them he will get “only the best people” and then fire them at a higher rate than any President in history because “he’s stupid” or whatever, and They Do Not Care.

He can lie, cheat, swindle and steal. He can push blue-collar businesses into bankruptcy, and the blue collars still vote for him. He can bankrupt casinos (casinos!) and they will still think he’s a great businessman.

It matters not whether someone endorses him or not. Testimony from people who spent time in the room with him and carried out his (so-called) policies will not change their minds. I fear he is right when he says he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and it wouldn’t make a difference. I am pretty sure that even if convicted in the many and several cases now pending - it won’t matter, because supporters will attribute it to “politics” or “a grudge” or whatever other excuse they can muster.

None of it, I fear, will make a difference in November. Depending on how the votes break for 3rd or 4th party candidates, we may be in for a rough patch ahead. Plan accordingly.
