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.

So Biden is set to sign an Executive Order on the border this week.
It is rumored to allow 4,000 asylees in per day, 28,000 per week, and then purports to "close" the border after that.

Senator Kennedy summed it up as only he can:

"President Biden is in trouble politically — he's polling right up there with fungal infections," Sen. Kennedy quipped in a Senate press conference. "Part of the reason for that is that he gave in to the loon-wing of his party and he dissolved the southern border."

"Now, five months before an election, he has to appear to be willing to do something about it," the Louisiana Republican continued. "Hence this executive order. He expects you to report this epiphany that he has had, take what the White House is telling you, balance on your noses like trained seals, and report it uncritically," Sen. Kennedy said, speaking to reporters gathered for his remarks.

"For three years, we have watched President Biden push on a door that has been clearly marked pull," Sen. Kennedy assessed. "He's mismanaged Congress, COVID, the national debt, the economy, inflation, crime, Afghanistan, Iran, the war in Gaza, the war in Ukraine, and now of course the border."

Through all these crises of Biden's creation, Sen. Kennedy said that "every time" he thinks "the president has hit rock bottom, he has managed to find a shovel and continue to dig."


Amen.
