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.

And I do not see a way for Emperor Trump to TACO out of this one.

I'm not sure I understand why you feel that way. It would be super-easy, barely an inconvenience for him to TACO out.

All he will do is simply declare victory. We've achieved our objectives. He could do it this afternoon, if he wanted to.

"Epic Fury was intended to eliminate Iran's nuclear program, destroy most of their ballistic missiles, damage their ability to otherwise project military force in the region, and give the Iranian people a chance to choose a different path. We did that. We achieved all our goals, so we're leaving."

The Administration will simply proclaim that a momentous achievement deserving of all the accolades and prizes. People who disagree will be labelled as loving Khameini or blinded by Trump derangement or unable to see how significant these gains are. Whatever we do from now until the day we declare victory will be exactly the right thing; whenever we declare victory will be a major victory, regardless of the actual outcome, because of what's already been accomplished.

We've already triumphed, you see. If you say otherwise, it means the terrorists will have won.
