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.

WatchingTheHerd: I know people don't have the time to listen to an entire 50 minute stump speech of the typical dribble of a Trump stump rant for "full context", but looping 6-second soundbytes is too far on the opposite extreme...

C-SPAN always has the full video and audio available and it's easy to find and search. And regardless of the length of that "sentence," his brain was clearly misfiring there and what you hear in the preceding sentences is Trump lying, claiming that the U.S. is no longer the leader in crude oil production [The U.S. has surpassed a production rate of 13 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, setting a record for the highest production level by any country.] and then rambling about begging for oil from other countries and the green new deal.

As for the "the weird music underneath," that was either added by C-SPAN or the Trump campaign.

And while you may "despise" what's going on in social media, democrats better understand that this isn't a level playing field anymore. Trump -- and Fox "News" -- changed all that. Fox "News" runs hours long free commercials for the Trump campaign daily and uses "SIX SECOND" sound bytes of president Biden all the time.

Worrying about "playing fair" is a fool's errand when you're playing against a sociopathic misfit hellbent on forming an autocracy.
