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.

This would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that his cult will believe this sh!t!

It is so absurd and false, but the right wing propaganda machine took it and screamed it across all their media.

WTF?

What’s this about Trump saying Biden was ‘ready to take me out’?

It’s false. Let’s start with that. Trump said this in a fundraising email this week: “Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.”
WAPO

Before our modern fractured media landscape this would have been instantly debunked and laughed out of existence. But now you can have 10 of millions of people lapping this up.

Why can't more people see what a disaster Trump will be if he is given a second chance to subvert our democracy?

Serving warrants is dangerous. We see that every day in officers killed doing just that. That is why it is boiler plate for the FBI to have deadly force explicitly mentioned on their orders when serving warrants. NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE SENT BY JOE BIDEN TO TAKE TRUMP OUT. OMG, I can't believe this needs to be explained. And I know damned well that the RW media understands this, too, but they are in the business of keeping their customers riled up and angry and tuned in. For them it is just good business. Deeply cynical, but good business.

Now...if Trump had come out with a gun and started shooting, then the FBI would indeed have had to kill him.
