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.

Distort much?

Nope. I notice that board libs also tend to forget what they post. Or they run away from it.

Here's you just the other day:

wzambon replies on Notable Presidential Speeches...

We shall see in two weeks whether or not enough voters can defend the Constitutional order…. Or are willing to plunge this country into a nightmare that has been repeated many times over the course of history- some worse than others, but all of them, in retrospect-tragic.

And I am not speaking hyperbolically

Running away.

And then there's this gem of a post:
wzambon writes on Seems Pretty Obvious

Goal: Win by any means necessary. Legal if possible. By force if necessary

Right now, he is laying the groundwork for Insurrection 2.0

Intimidation

Lies

Flooding the zone with “polls” that suggest a Trump win.

He is setting the stage for saying “I won”, even if he doesn’t. I mean….”look at all the polls!” (Last time it wS “Look at the size of my rallies!”)

This time, the lawsuits he’s filed have already, for the most part, been swatted down (this time- before the election rather than after), and many of the loopholes in election law have been tightened up. It’s doubtful that Trump will be able to pull off a “legal coup”.

Which makes it more likely that his last ditch effort will be a reprise of “Come to Washington on January 6. It will be wild!”

Get ready.

This you, bro?
