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.

When speaking with the media today, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said: All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."

Umm, well, telling older white folks they're stupid and should eat sh!t seems like a strange political position but raises a number of questions.

First, does Miller think only non-whites live in D.C. and that's why it's okay to create a police state there?

Second, most photographs of demonstrators show a wide range of ages and races, least of all white folks older than 90.

Third, those older Americans he's dissing know a thing or two about fascist @ssholes like Miller, having dealt with the aftermath of other fascist @ssholes.

When pressed for an explanation of why they were wasting resources at the National Mall and Union Station instead of areas of the city that actually had crime, Miller said: "Crime is actually extremely high here at Union Station. You have vagrants."

Umm, being homeless isn't a crime in D.C., nor is vagrancy.

Well, Miller, Vance, and Hegseth did get booed and heckled as they left Union Station, with one heckler shouting: "Couch f*cker! Go f*ck a couch, JD Vance!"
