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.

Dope1: You can’t whine about fascism while cheering on tech company censorship...

Funny, isn't it, that you're not similarly outraged that the Trump campaign reached out to Xhitter and Elon Musk and told them to suppress publication on the platform of the hacked information of J.D. Vance... the exact same action you're complaining about with respect to the Hunter Biden hard drive.

Except in this case Trump has even bribed Musk with a newly created cabinet position in a second Trump administration.

Mr. Trump has made clear that he appreciates the help, promising to appoint Mr. Musk to oversee a government-efficiency team if he is re-elected. At a rally in Reading, Pa., on Wednesday night, Mr. Trump appeared preoccupied with Mr. Musk, telling stories about his talks with Mr. Musk in three unrelated tangents and celebrating the “dark MAGA” hat that some attendees said they had bought because Mr. Musk wore it in Butler.

The relationship has proved significant in other ways. After a reporter’s publication of hacked Trump campaign information last month, the campaign connected with X to prevent the circulation of links to the material on the platform, according to two people with knowledge of the events. X eventually blocked links to the material and suspended the reporter’s account.


No surprise, really, that you're unable to condemn the behavior of the Trump campaign that you so eagerly condemned Biden for doing considering that you spent years whining that Hillary Clinton should never hold public office and should be in federal prison for mishandling 3 unclearly marked classified documents but still have not found the spine to condemn Trump for taking more than 300 documents that bore unambiguous classification markings including SECRET/REL TO USA, FVEY and dumping them where tens of thousands of members and guests had free access to them and sharing military intelligence with reporters.
