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.

Yes I know, he'll change. The black eye is from a bike accident, blah blah blah.

Usually you do that with NeoConservatives, and a certain cohort that you worship and allow them to manipulate you. You got get killed in foreign wars and in return get the other guy endorse but alas, this is not about NeoCons.

It's fine Mike Pence doesn't want to endorse Trump. 100% fine. And some reasons might be justified but did you notice something -and no, not just butt-hurt over Trump not supporting Zelensky -(not Smith or Jones....Zelensky) and his cronies not getting rich with American foreign aid and Woke Defense companies not getting rich with American money and Woke Europe once again hiding behind America?

BUT he also whined that the pro life cause is marginalized due to some beef with the platform. Now, lean forward:

TRUMP GAVE THE SCOTUS TO THE RIGHT BY CONVINCING MARGIN.

TRUMP THEREFORE PAVED WAY FOR ROE TO GO.

TRUMP PICKED JD VANCE - AS TALIBAN AS YOU CAN GET ON ABORTION!

Yet still, to Mullah Pence that ain't good enough. My point:

DEVOTION TO THE SOCIAL RIGHT TALIBAN- has reached a point where they extract pounds of flesh, and in return make it harder for you to increase your constituency. There's people out there who LIKE what you stand for but can't stomach the Taliban Abortion stuff and they are absolutists and users. Trump gave them EVERYTHING and Pence whines about the Platform.

Tell the Social Right: You don't like it? Go with California Kamala and see how much you people have in common.

Furthermore, maybe that segment of America can pick up a book and go to school. And their counties and states and people won't be so poor, so dead, and sooooooo behind other Americans, even 1st generation Americans. Funny - Pence wants abortion banned so bad yet HIS constituents and the REDDEST states so badly need that right. Why is that?

Drop these guys like a bad habit. You can outgrow them.
