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, nice response to albably1, but futile.

Now having come to realize that Schumer is in fact caving, and the entire shutdown was just an exercise in jerking off the entire country for his own perceived political "leverage," it is necessary for the ProgLibs to rewrite history.

No, the Dems never wanted $1.5 Trillion of additional funding. No, they never wanted to reverse the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Why, all they wanted was a discussion about extending ACA subsidies for a single year!

And they know this....how?

Because wherever they get their talking points from has given them the cliff notes.

Now the spin will be "Dems only wanted a one year extension costing $38 billiong, not $1.5 Trillion."

Yet...no evidence of this at all. Albaby et al just pulling it out of there you know where.

No there was no prior dem proposal. Yes, there was a prior dem proposal. Where is the proposal? Trust me, I know what it was.

This is a HUGE loss for Schumer and the Democrats and I really hope Thune and Johnson stick to their guns and accept nothing less than a totally clean C.R. They need to tell Schumer to get bent. Pass the clean C.R., enough with the blackmail, then let's talk turkey.

Crush these mothers.
