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.

Remained peaceful

Stop being led around by the nose by Fox "News," X idiots, and The Mad King. - CO


=====================

Perhaps it is your side that is being led around!

I saw this morning (on Fox News since that seems to matter so much with your side). To be clear, Fox showed video of the events, it was not just a reporter reading a script telling the audience what happened.

I saw with my own eyes, videos of 1) a burning police car in the middle of an intersection while being circled by two guys on a motor cycle with the guy in the rear waving The Mexican Flag and 2) an "artist" dressed in black, face and head covered in black, spray painting "Kill ICE" on a dumpster. All around, throngs of supporters shoving and struggling with police and cheering on the vandalism and mayhem that was underway.

"Kill" Does that sound peaceful to you?

What is your reaction to my observation.

1. BHM, you are delusional and even though they seem real to you, these things did not happen except in your imagination.

2. BHM you made this up just to troll the board and/or stir up racial hatred.

3. BHM, the video you saw was fake news produced on a sound stage at Mar-a-lago. (If so, the production values were amazing with scripting costuming all those extras and the smoke and burning being so realistic.)

4. Allowing that just a sliver of the actual violence might be true. You are still free to hate Donald Trump of course.
