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.

Liberals are upset ---they so wanted to spend billions to keep Mexicans out.

Since you sound like you’re not an American, you may have missed some of the subtleties of the situation.

Liberals agreed to what the party of Trump wanted on the border, because in exchange they got more funding for the war in Ukraine. This is an example of the concept called compromise.

Republicans used to engage in compromise, but that is now a dirty word in the Party of Trump.

Anyway, the word on the street was that Trump asked his servants to kill it so he could run on border issues. But I personally suspect Trump’s handler in Moscow asked him to intervene to stop money from going to Ukraine, for obvious reasons.

Given the buddy/buddy relationship Don claims to have with Vlad, killing the bill would be a win for both of them.
