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.

The dems don't care about border security. The evidence

1) they produced such a stinky bill it is as if they wanted it to be rejeted for the campaign issue it gave them, the one you are using now; and

2) If they genuinely cared about border security they would have pressed for engagement and dialogue. Instead, it was one and done. Sort of, "we got our ticket punched" so we have dealt with the issue and can move on to the best part of our job, spending money earned by others.


They don’t care about the border. The ones who say they do are lying and/or engaging the usual repertoire of performance art.

We know this because in sane times with a sane democrat party - which we don’t have - a single issue bill with the title “The Border Security Act” with common sense measures in it would pass unanimously. But since we don’t live in sane times governed by sane people, we got the farce of a bill that libs on this board are now holding up as some kind of mythology, a magic talisman that would have fixed everything.

You and I tore that stupid excuse for a bill to shreds, so I’m now quite sure who these think they’re fooling.
