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.

My my, you Sheeple sure have got a clusterfuck on your hands.

The author segment of Amanpour tonight featured the author of "How Fascism Works". A couple takeaways:

When asked when the US might reach the point of no return, he said the US is there now. The corruption is so ingrained there is no way to unwind it. He offered an example: how can you tell a future President that he can't use the office to enrich himself to the tune of Billions of dollars, because Trump is doing it, and no-one is lifting a finger.

Another example: the GOP and SCOTUS, are tearing down the guardrails on Presidential power. The only way to understand that, is that the GOP expects there will never be a Democrat elected again. Given Trump's comments today about cancelling elections, or at least preventing any non-MAGA candidate running for office, that may be on the table.
