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 could not but help notice that you did not go after the substance of Original Sin."

That is because I like to know a little about what I am talking about before I speak. So far there are people opining a lot about Biden's mental fitness for office. Some positively, some negatively. Much of the opinions are based off of misrepresentations and out of context stories. I find that a lot of people's opinions of Joe Biden's mental fitness are based off of what they themselves want to see.

I am pretty sure that your opinion is based off of what you want to see and therefore you only choose to uses sources that reinforce your view. I am sure the authors of the book did the same.

Since I have no special insight into the subject, there isn't much I could add. I have an opinion, but it isn't based on anything concrete so there is no need for me to express it because even I don't have much faith in it.

So I talked about the reference I did know something about.

"Biden was a senile old fool, and his handlers concealed that reality from Americans and even Democrats"

Yes I know. Your opinion is written in stone and it won't change. That is part of the reason you have failed as a voter and continue to fail. It is one of the reasons you are helping destroy the country.

"It is as much his fault as it is Republicans'."

Stop being a coward and take responsibility for YOUR failure. It isn't Biden's fault that there are a large percentage of American's who choose to get their information from sources that take advantage of them.

Like you, you still are unable to accurately describe democratic positions on a wide variety of topics simply because of the sources of information you choose to use. Yet you continue to stupidly use those sources. I will demonstrate this to you with a simple question: Who do you think talked more about transgendered or black people? Kamala Harris or Fox News?
