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.

".....and don't forget ladySeeSee.

It's like controlling gophers. When I see the dirt mound, I'll deploy the gopher dispatcher ;-)

In the meantime, if I want to scope out the MAGAt side, I can click on Fox News, then click it off when after one cycle of what Bannon so aptly titles a 'zone flooded with sh!t.' Poof, gone for the day, or until I want to take a morbid peek at alt-fact side of aisle.

Today, for instance, Fox leads with a story about 2 'mothers being sued by a high school librarian for defamation after they attacked her at a school board hearing, calling the librarian "child predator" and "accused her of "luring children with pornography."

foxnews.com - Parents sued speaking out against sexually explicit books library disgusting

The librarian's husband, an attorney, filed the lawsuit.

The defense attorneys statement: "Parents should have the right to have a voice in whether their children should be exposed to sexualized content in the books chosen by public school employees....This lawsuit inhibits open and robust debate on the issues as we as a nation must face on the appropriateness of content to which our children are exposed."

It's alarming how tactic right-wing extremists increasingly go after the employees of things to which they object.
Book:librarian. Abortion:doctors/clinic employees. Masks mandate:director of public health. Vaccine mandate: kidnap governor. Etc.

If I were this librarian, I'd be watching my six...which is exactly what the karen-moms want.
