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.

...at the prayer breakfast and it is as loony as you might imagine.

“remember Christmas was, uh— when I ran in 2015, when I announced, I said ‘we’re gonna bring back Christmas.’ because the word ‘Christmas’ was almost gone.”

“and we did— people use Christmas any more, we, we brought back the word Christmas, they didn’t want to use it, and we’re using it again. but I specifically told Pete, I said, ‘hit ’em on Christmas Day. not earlier, and not later. right, Pete? and man, did he hit ’em. so— and then we hit ’em again recently. we hit ’em again, pretty hard.”

“I don’t know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don’t. and I know we have some here today. I don’t know why they’re here, because they certainly don’t give us their vote… they do something to win, and you know what it is? they cheat.”


One might ask how a Republican can vote for the anti-Christ.

But back to the words of wisdom:

“you can go and sleep. we have quarters prepared for you. I said no, no, I don’t have to sleep. I’ve been on a plane, sleeping, for twenty— y’mean— I’M SLEEPING THE PLANE. I don’t sleep on planes, I don’t like sleeping on planes, y’know? I like looking out the window for missiles and enemies, actually.”

“one of my favorite people, President Bukele of El Salvador, he has been so incredible. he has been such a great ally of this country. [turns to Bukele] thank you very much. such a great ally. [unintelligible] some of you seen, he operates rather large prisons. like prisons so large, you can’t see from one side to the other, unless you have perfect 20/20 eyesight with binoculars. that’s how long and big. and they do a job, they do a very humane job.”
