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.

It very much was a threat to our democracy
No it wasn't. If you think that then you don't understand the inertia behind our system.
Read albaby's post. left wingers never understand the "Now what?" question.

Let's say they got Pence to "overturn the election". Meanwhile, the states say - individually - Screw you, the Constitution delegates authority to the states to conduct federal elections, who are you to say anything one way or the other about it?

What would happen after that? Was Trump going to just keep being President? You think the country was just going to sail along like that?

The chances of Trump holding on to the Presidency in 2020 are roughly equivalent to my quarterbacking the Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl championship this year. As in, less than zero.

As such, I find all the wailing and rending of garments performative and lacking in real substance.
