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.

Even if improbable, slimly possible is a plus and worth at least looking into.

I wish. Every impeachment in the modern era has produced a wave of support and an increase in the approval ratings of the President under fire. I would hate to see that happen with Trump.

I don't know the new "more hard-Right candidates," but given the political drama these days, are they hard-Right or were they simply reading the tea leaves as to how they had to portray themselves to win favor?

As Barry Goldwater said about the religionists, and I think it’s also true of MAGAs in general, “they don’t care.” (The quote: “ Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

I think they’d rather go down in flames than move an inch toward reasonable positions.
