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.

I said. Amazing how trying to fix a national treasure triggers a lot of folks

Dope- falling back on your usual methods of disparagement is getting quite threadbare

It wasn’t the “trying” that people are poking fun at.

Is was:

-the declaration of success, “crystal clear” water… even as the pool turned green and slabs of blue paint bubbled to the algae covered surface.

-the gratuitous swipe at Obama

- the proclamation that the dead algae lay at the bottom of the pool- just like the Iranian Navy lies at the bottom of the ocean (a Dept. of Interior proclamation. Note: it was the Iranian Navy that declared today that the strait was closed again)

- the no bid contract to a Trump buddy and ex-con.

-the calling out of the Washington National Guard to keep people away from the Reflecting Pool

-the slapping on of a coat of blue paint, at the beginning of a Washington summer.

Etc.

Etc.

Etc.

Here, Dope- just for you, a few photos of the guy Trump chose for his “no bid contract”. Photos at the bottom of a column by Charlie Sykes. Scroll through to meet Mr. John J. Cafaro:

Substack: O Meloni! - by Charlie Sykes

God…. The stupid. It burns.
