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.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Trump Posts Photograph of Captured, Blindfolded, Disheveled Nicolás Maduro Aboard U.S. Helicopter Post-Kidnapping; Per Prior Trump Order, Maduro Is a Prisoner of War, Making the Photo a Violation of Geneva Convention (Article 13 of the Third Geneva Convention)
11:29 AM · Jan 3, 2026

(PS) For obvious reasons, I am not reposting the photograph here. You can easily find it if you wish. Its existence in the public sphere yet again confirms that Trump is a war criminal.

(PS2) I’ve been watching CNN, and there’s been no reference to the war crime of bombing culturally significant Venezuelan sites, no reference to the Geneva Convention violation of posting photos of Maduro, and limited reference to this *entire act* being clearly illegal under U.S. law.

(PS3) CNN immediately reposted the illegal photo and repeatedly called it “remarkable” without any criticism of it.

In fact, it urged all Americans to look at and focus on the picture and left it up for *minutes*.

*This* is how lost corporate media is. It is totally in the wilderness ethically.

(PS4) In fact, while leaving the photo up CNN repeatedly called it “humiliating” and “deliberately” so—which is exactly what makes it a violation of the Geneva Convention(s)! What is wrong with our media, JFC!
