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.

Wow, that Heller quote describes Trump perfectly!

Throughout history, astute observers of the human condition have consistently identified the hustlers, frauds, cons, snakeoil salesmen, imposters, pretenders, fakes, scammers, criminals, deceivers, law-breakers, and tricksters like Trump, the king of kayfabe.

What's astounding is that the proliferation of information sources available in the 21st century seems to have enabled the amoral frauds, cons, snakeoil salesmen, imposters, pretenders, fakes, shams, actors, role players, criminals, deceivers, law-breakers, and tricksters to schnooker the dupes, marks,suckers,gullibles, naifs, poorly educated,trusting, exploitable, unsuspecting dupes in greater numbers than anybody has ever seen!

Nowadays instead of hanging, pillorying, tarring/feathering the moneyed hustlers, frauds, cons, snakeoil salesmen, scammers, and criminals in the US, they are protected by slicks of attorneys, many of whom are also hustlers, frauds, cons,scammers, criminals, deceivers and tricksters who use lies and/or genuine constitutional rights as shields for the hustling frauds, cons, snakeoil selling, pretending, faking, scamming, criminal deceiving scum.

In otherwoids, we is hung by our own petard.
