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.

Seven of the nine men who have thrown their hats into the ring to become Speaker of the House voted against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. Only Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota and Austin Scott of Georgia voted to certify the 2020 election. Before you think Emmer and Scott are somehow moderates who believe in democracy, "when Texas filed a lawsuit, urging the U.S. Supreme Court to help overturn Donald Trump's defeat, both Emmer and Scott were among the many House Republicans who signed onto a ridiculous legal brief endorsing the indefensible gambit."

None of the nine voted to impeach Trump (for inciting insurrection).

None of the nine voted to establish a January 6 commission.

None of the nine voted to ban wage discrimination on the basis of sex.

None of the nine voted in favor of the bipartisan Infrastructure Act.

Only Emmer voted for the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.

Only Sessions voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.

Only Meuser voted to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35/month.

Only Bergman, Donalds, and Meuser voted to expand healthcare for veterans exposed to toxins.

None of the nine voted in favor of the bipartisan gun safety legislation.

None of the nine voted to ensure the right to contraception.

None of the nine voted for the CHIPS & Science Act.

Only Emmer voted to federally codify same-sex and interracial marriage.

Bergman, Emmer, Scott, and Sessions voted for $300 million in supplemental aid to Ukraine (on Sept 28).

On the bright side: at least they're not Jordan.
