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.

"Surely you realize I distust him when he says this since there nothing to actually force him to and once"

Yes. We know you distrust him because your political masters have trained you quite well to hate him because you allow them to.

Good boy. Maybe they will play fetch with you later.

What is odd is that you seem to fully trust a guy who can't go more than two seconds without lying to you. Remember the guy who was going to get Mexico to pay for a wall? They guy who was going to pass a better healthcare bill in two weeks? The guy who tore up the agreement with Iran preventing them from getting nukes because he could easily negotiate a better deal?

All lies. Yet you foolishly believe him.

You routinely use sources of information that openly admit they will lie to you. Yet you foolishly continue to use them.

Perhaps you should start using better sources of information and actually start using your brain. Try something different.

"If Biden had any real passion for border security, he could have fixed it back in 21/22 when he had both houses of congress."

That is extremely naive. It completely ignores this thing in the Senate called a filibuster. The bill as currently negotiated would never have gotten 60 votes in the Senate in 21/22. Senate Republicans had no reason to want to play ball on that back then.
