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.

sano: It's worth sticking around to read Albaby's patient step by step explanations. It's frustrating that they are so often proverbial pearls before cultists of the orange rapist.

They remind me of a concussed individual...


The discussion of asylum seekers, refugees, and border security has certainly been a depressing revelation of how poorly republicans understand those issues and that the power to "solve" them rests not with the president but with Congress.

I, too, had a friend who was severely concussed, his concussion the result of rolling over a convertible Beetle after falling asleep at the wheel. He also kept asking what had happened over and over again. The discussions here between albaby1 and the republicans is much the same: albaby1 explains the facts and the law to them and asks them what the president might do differently and they give a variation of the same answer... and none of those answers keep migrants out, or remove them from, American soil.

But since it's likely none of these folks have been recently concussed, I think WTH is right and his observation about Trump's nonsensical presidential immunity argument applies to the border discussions -- "The idiocy of these arguments should also be obvious to any American citizen with an IQ above 75" -- which Neuromancer also immediately understood: "I think I see the problem..."
