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.

Trump spoke at a rally in South Carolina on Saturday, telling attendees that he wouldn't defend NATO allies from Russia. Specifically, he said, "One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, 'Well, sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us?' I said, 'You didn't pay? You're delinquent?... No I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.'" He ended by saying you, "gotta pay your pills!" (Not sure if 'pills' is a typo or a Trump brain fart) Probably a typo.

But...Trump talking about someone not paying their bills! That's rich coming from guy who is notorious for stiffing people and evading paying what he owes any corrupt way he can.

rawstory.com: Trump's latest 'breathtaking' rally comment has experts sounding the alarm

OK, rawstory is left biased. Can someone find a reference to this from mainstream media? It occurred today, so maybe they haven't caught up yet? Or have they all decided to just ignore Trump's crazy talk? This should be splashed all over the media and in the past it would have ended his political career. Abandoning the alliance that has helped to keep the world safe for so many decades? Abandoning our allies? Trump is a Benedict Arnold. It's like he is telling Putin, when I regain the Whitehouse you can do whatever you want in Europe. What a shameless POS.
