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.

Trump restored sanity to the courts. I realize it's stylish to hate everything he did but up until COVID he wasn't a terrible President. Much, much, much better than the woman-groping dementia patient we have now.

What!
I will stipulate that Biden is a women's-hair-sniffing creepy guy, sometimes shrewd sometimes senile, prone to falling while walking or climbing stairs, etc. No prize he.

But Trump is in another dimension. I don't even care about his personal failings. He is a loser and a creep and a cheat and a freeloader and a deaft dodger and... I could go on. But fine, maybe he is on par with Bill Clinton up to and including creeping n underage teenage girls, though Clinton got one pregnant if Primary Colors is to be believed.

No, as a President, Trump was a massive failure. Obviously bungled Covid massively and caused hundreds of thousands of Americans to die needlessly. Spreading misinformation and disinformation and hampering good scientists from doing their job.

But even before Covid. Making stupid deals with Taliban bypassing American puppet government in Afghanistan. Endorsing Republicans' hatechet job against Blue state taxpayers when they limited SALT deduction to $10k. Bustards always complain about dividend tax saying it's double taxation. What is SALT deduction limit then except tax on tax?

Of course the constant breaking if ridiculous campaign promises/slogans. Mexico will pay for the wall. "What a piece of work is man" indeed 😀
