The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

And you insist that the judgement of these 24 former top ranking cabinet officers, allies and aides collectively supersedes the judgment of half the population of our country. Weird.

No one is saying “the judgment of these 24 former top ranking cabinet officers, allies and aides” should supersede the judgment of less than half the population of our country. Actually, the only individual who thinks their opinion should supersede the majority of the population of our country is Trump, who tried to overthrow a free and fair election while ignoring dozens of court rulings. And we have videos to prove it.

So the question is, babysitting notwithstanding, who is best able to fulfill their presidential oath:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Only one of the presidential candidates has already proven he is incapable of fulfilling the presidential oath, the insurrectionist Donald Trump. Period. Full stop.

So when a life long patriot with the credibility of John Kelly, who not only put his life on the line for our country and is a Gold Star parent, puts out an opinion about someone he reported to, it bears listening to. Seriously listening to.

You can write it off as sour grapes if you want. That is your right as an American. Enjoy that right while you can.

But the undeniable fact is that Trump has clearly demonstrated he is unable to fulfill his oath and dozens of people who worked under a Trump administration have confirmed what you saw with your own eyes on January 6th and what to expect if Trump gets in power again.

Ignore it at your own and our nation’s risk.
