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.

...you may be a morally and emotionally broken person of evil indifference, if...

This is a really good way to alienate people like me. And you succeeded. Your list is a mixed bag at best and I cannot be outraged at all the items. Therefore you are holier than me and I might vote for Trump just to get away from the constant left wing outrage. It is as bad as the constant right wing outrage.
Trump is an ass and says outrageous things to get publicity. And succeeds thanks to people like you.
Get this through your thin skin. Insulting the 82 yo and encouraging Jan 6 is serious stuff. Saying MF on stage or talking about wetting forest floor or calling Ohioans smelly (if that's what he did) is not. Learn to discriminate in your outrage. Otherwise it's childish and pointless.
I am not excusing Trump's a-holery. I am saying life is short and I have learned to ignore the small stuff.
Biden says stupid senile stuff almost constantly. Who cares?
Trump lowered my taxes and made the stock market go up. Did not start any wars. Did not actually sexually harrass a young intern unlike that great Democrat, Bill Clinton.
What matters to people like me is how these big guys affect us. Because it's exhausting to listen to their random utterances constantly to decide what our emotional reaction should be. Ain't nobody but you has time for that.
