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.

The response from MAGA propagandists to No Kings followed their usual playbook:
Find a couple of randos saying something dumb out of 8 million & blow them up on social media.
Predictable. Same old act.


MAGA influencers were out in force- prodding, poking and provoking- trying to get someone, anyone- to say or do something stupid, and in a country that fielded millions of protestors on Saturday, that’s not a difficult thing to do.

But the last word goes to police departments across the land. Most reported few problems and no arrests.

Again, with millions of protestors in the streets, that’s quite the feat, and a real testament to the spirit of the day.

But Dope keeps looking for his violent protestors. On Saturday, he got baby strollers, Inflatable dinosaurs and the widest array of creative, hand-drawn signage.

Saturday found my wife and I driving to the Outer Banks. A quick look at our phones told us that a nearby rally was occuring in Wilmington North Carolina, so we took a quick detour and drove through the city- through the several blocks long protest area. The crowd was young. The crowd was old. The signs were all hand drawn and creative- not a manufactured…. not a single shop printed, “Soros funded” sign was in evidence. The cars honked. The people cheered. “Laughter” was the uniform of the day.
