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.

The left has always been one running logical fallacy. When you can't or won't articulate a position on anything and can't close the sale on convincing someone of something based on the merits of your arguments, you resort to

Dishonest premises
Flat out lying
Strawmen
Poisoning the Well
Ad Hominems

and now...Appeals to Authority.

In this case, the lib holds up some skunk Republican by the tail and says "See? This skunk is a Republican and it's voting for day drunk Kamala Harris! Don't you want to be a skunk, too? All real Republicans are skunks!"

They can have Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, and whomever else they want. We'll take Tulsi Gabbard, Danica Patrick and RFK.

Great trade.
