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.

Dope: Uh, huh. 2023 was when Biden and his enablers were telling us there was no crisis at the border.

No, he called it a crisis in 2021, but by Jan 2024 said this:

“Mr. President,” one of them asked, “would you call the situation on the southern border a ‘crisis’?”

“No,” said Biden, according to the White House transcript, “but I wish they would react. I’ve been pushing them—my Republican colleagues—since I got into office. I think we have to make major changes at the border. I’ve been pushing it. I’m prepared to make significant alterations at the border. And there are negotiations going on for the last five weeks, so I’m hopeful we’ll get there.”

Another reporter asked Biden if he was willing to take “executive action when it comes to the border to address the border crisis if Republicans don’t pass more funding?”

“Well, Republicans have to pass funding,” Biden said. “They have to—I’ve read one Republican said, ‘We don’t want our border [inaudible] it’ll only help Biden.'

And of course, Trump put the kbosh to that bill, so that he could make his magic phone call on that magic day.
