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.

Gator1984: Pardon. The courts found him innocent. Which he is. If Biden believed in our legal system he should have been first in line to set the record straight and apologize. But his kind never apologize.

Set the record straight? And "his kind"?

First of all, president Biden did issue a statement saying that the verdict "will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included," but that "we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken." Biden urged people to refrain from violence and property destruction and said he had contacted Wisconsin's governor to offer "support and any assistance needed to ensure public safety."

And Biden has made many apologies during his political career, easily found with Google.

Second, you're hilarious. To this day Orange Jesus refuses to apologize to the Central Park Five.

President Trump said on Tuesday that he would not apologize for his harsh comments in 1989 about the Central Park Five, the five black and Latino men who as teenagers were wrongly convicted of the brutal rape of a jogger in New York City.

Mr. Trump was asked about newspaper advertisements he bought back then calling for New York State to adopt the death penalty after the attack. (The ads never explicitly called for the death penalty for the five defendants.)

"You have people on both sides of that," he said at the White House.


Both sides of what?

The attack on Meili was an assault committed by a man named Matias Reyes, who confessed to the crime, an admission confirmed by DNA evidence.

If there ever was a poster boy for the "his kind" who never apologizes, it's Orange Jesus.

He didn't apologize for the deaths of over a million Americans that resulted from his refusal to take swift action against the COVID-19 virus, discouraging masking, not encouraging vaccination, and by pretending the COVID-19 virus would magically disappear.

He didn’t apologize during the 2016 campaign when he made fun of McCain for being a prisoner of war.

He didn’t apologize to Mexicans for calling them rapists.

When asked if he owed vice president Pence an apology for the January 6 rioters wanting to hang him, Trump said: "No, because he did something wrong."

He didn’t apologize for his menstruation jibe at Megyn Kelly or retweeting that she was a "bimbo."

He didn’t apologize to Carly Fiorina for calling her ugly.

He didn't apologize for calling Ted Cruz's wife ugly.

He didn’t apologize for calling Haiti and African countries s***holes.

And as for Kyle Rittenhouse, I don't think karma is quite through with him yet: he's being sued in civil court where he won't be facing inept prosecutors and his crying on the witness stand while his mother weeps in the courtroom is likely to be less effective the second time around.
