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.

In an interview with Maria Bartiromo on, where else, Fox "News," DonOLD Trump said that Americans who don't support him are "enemies" who may need to be "handled by the military."

That his call to use the military against U.S. citizens is not front page, 72 pt. screaming headline news is astonishing.

His rambling, often incoherent rally speeches which he calls the weave use increasingly dehumanizing and dangerous rhetoric. Migrants are "animals" who "poison the blood" of our country and have, along with democrats who oppose him, have destroyed American towns and villages.

TRUMP: "You cannot get into a hospital, by the way. Because the migrants have all the beds. You cannot get into a hospital. You cannot get your kids into a school because there are migrants there that don't even speak the language ... they're getting precedent over your children."

None of that is remotely true.

Now you may think that a president Harris making some policy decisions you disagree with -- protecting a woman's right to control what happens to her own body, for example -- is the same as DonOLD Trump promising to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, an act that allows him to put American citizens into internment camps, it ain't. To believe that you'd be as wildly insane as him.

Unfortunately, some of you here seem to share his psychosis.
