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.

Basically, what we have here is a bunch of right wingers cheering for a lawless president who selectively enforces only those portions of the law that will punish his political enemies.

In other words.... the law is not the law for them. It is a cudgel. Do not expect them to apply the law if someone throws a Molotov cocktail into Hunter Biden's garage.

In other words... we are on our own.

Fail.

What we have here are a bunch of liberals who don't mind violating the hell out of the Constitutional rights of people:
washingtontimes.com - John strand jan defendant said he endured four m

A Jan. 6 defendant said he spent four months in solitary confinement in federal prison, harsh conditions that could have been avoided in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling that the Justice Department overreached when it charged hundreds of the U.S. Capitol defendants with felony obstruction.

Yep.

nypost.com - An egregious denial of due process for jan protesters

For more than two years, while they controlled every lever of power in Washington, the Democratic Party and their media allies told a one-sided story about what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

For more than two years, the surveillance footage from the 2021 Capitol riot, aired this week by Tucker Carlson, was kept from the American public by a Democratic Congress so a false narrative became cemented in the public consciousness.

For more than two years, footage that could have exonerated Jan. 6 defendants was kept from their legal teams.

Yep.

For all the braying about the rule of law, board libs have no problem violating the hell out of the basic rights of American citizens.

On your own? Nah, bruv.
