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.

One of my friends was adamant in his opinion that the most important thing the Dems had to do was get tough on the border messaging. He knew that Obama had a record of actually turning back more people than Trump.1 did. But their messaging about it was abysmally poor.

Their ACTIONS, under Biden, were abysmally poor. Is the NYT still trusted? Maybe read the articles?

So your friend got his wish. Trump has trampled all over the Constitution, and Trump
threatens to send America into an autocracy. How does your friend feel about
those repercussions for electing Trump ? Oh well, it doesn't matter, your friend
helped launch us down this road, to late to change that.


He's not happy. Though nothing negative has affected him directly, and he's doing very, very well financially. He's a thinking, feeling being, though. Conflicted, I'd say.

Democrats fucked up. There's no other way to say it. And they keep on doing it. The shutdown being the latest fuck-up.

My "friend" isn't me, BTW. I held my nose and voted for Harris. Biden before that. Clinton before that.
