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: Biden wanted MORE lockdowns. More closures. More mandates.

Only in Cult World, not the real world.

A Fox News article on those statements [that the Biden administration planned lockdowns, closure, mandate] was headlined: "White House won't rule out future lockdowns, school closures if CDC says so."

But in each case, the claims left out what the White House has affirmatively said on the matter: that it's doing what it can to promote vaccination and mask wearing in areas affected by the delta variant, to avoid the need for the lockdowns, shutdowns or school closures.

"We are not going back to that," President Joe Biden said in a July 27 statement.

Since then, Biden has repeatedly spoken against lockdowns and instead emphasized vaccination to stem the rise of the delta variant. And we found no evidence for Posobiec's claim that any such measures are being coordinated with, or advocated by, Democratic governors.


Republicans learned nothing from the Dominion discovery documents and depositions. Fox News stars -- and analysts like Dan Bongino and Jack Posobiec -- are liars. Fox admitted it endorsed the false stolen-election claim for ratings despite actually believing the election was free and fair.

Fox lies.

And if you're a Fox viewer you're being lied to.

And what kind of idiots listen to -- and believe -- Bongino or Posobiec? Even Fox fired Bongino.
