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.

Such a great post...illustrating how not to get it.

Let's go!

401k liberals are responsible for Trump being in office. If they hadn’t been so arrogant about their own opinions, Harris would be president today.

Harris was an extremely bad candidate and after 4 years of lying to the public about Biden's cognitive state it would have been a heavy lift for her to win.

If 401k liberals hadn’t been so contemptuous of those who fell for a dictator-in-waiting, gliding down that escalator, Trump’s camaign would have died in the cradle.


Actually, if Barack Obama hadn't insulted Trump to his face for no reason at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, he might not have run at all!

If 401k liberals hadn’t pointed their fingers and said:
“Can’t you idiots see with your own eyes that every time Trump is investigated, 2 or 3 Russians tumble out of the woodwork?!”, Trump’s supporters would have dropped him long ago.


Maybe if any of that had been a) real or b) actually important you might have had a point?

And here's the best part:
If 401k liberals hadn’t screamed “Racism!” when Trump initiated his travel ban, referred to African countries as “shithole countries”, and praised the marchers in Charlottesville as “fine people”, the shine of Trump would have dimmed long ago.

Maybe if you people...didn't lie all the time...you could relate to normies. But "very fine people" has been debunked but libs keep chanting it. Some countries ARE poopholes. And the travel ban? Wasn't racism.

So there you go. Maybe if you folks had better news sources, stepped out of your blue bubble wrap and talked to normal people....you'd might not be losing this much.

Now they’re screaming that Trump is bum rushing the country into a war with Iran over an issue that his own DNI SAYS ISN’T TRUE. And why should Trump wait for Congress to declare war before getting us in a war? And just because Tulsi Gabbard, speaking for the US intelligence community, says that Iran doesn’t have a bomb, that doesn’t make her opinion any better than Trump’s intuition on the matter. Who does she think she is?


Not even sure what this screed is. Literally nobody is saying Iran has a bomb right now.

BTW. What is it with the Obama types who are such fans of the Mullahs?
