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.

Speaker of the House Moses Johnson told a panel on Fox "News" that you gotta' give Elmo a break and that when veterans die from staff cuts at the VA, republicans will make the necessary course corrections.

HARF: "What do you say to people who work for the VA who can't man the suicide hotline now because they've been fired?"

JOHNSON: "Look, in Elon's defense, there's no playbook for what he's doing. So as he acknowledged, there are gonna' be some mishaps and mistakes. But we will do course correction immediately."

Right.

Course corrections will come mmediately after enough vets commit suicide because no one's answering the suicide hotline.

Like who could predict more suicides will occur when Vets cannot get the help they need, amirite?

Republicans, who used to falsely claim that Obamacare had "death panels" are now the "we'll course correct after enough Vets die" party.
