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.

Did you see Scott Bessent's response when asked about Trump saying he was glad that Mueller was dead?

We must feel pity for poor little Trumpie-poo. His tender feelings were hurt.

Truly stupid and despicable deflection...

Bessent declined to denounce the President's comments, instead suggesting that the public should have empathy for Donald Trump. His defense included the following points:

Call for Empathy: Bessent stated, "I think that we should all have a little empathy for what has been done to him [Trump] and his family.

"The "Green Room" Story: He recounted being with Trump in a green room at Davos, watching a video of the 2022 FBI search of Mar-a-Lago. He described seeing "the look in his eye" and claimed that most people cannot understand the emotional toll those investigations took on the President.

Deflecting the Question: When pressed multiple times on whether it was appropriate to celebrate the death of a decorated veteran and public servant, Bessent maintained that it was "impossible" for others to understand what Trump had been through.


And horror of horrors, the agents went through Melania's closet!

What a disgusting little Quisling Bessent is.
