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.

On this I agree - it is happening. Possible the LizCheneyNeoConEstablishment will leave him alone if he does Iran- but other than that, I agree it's happening.

I figured next year the GOP will be every man for himself.

But seems it *is* possible that happens much sooner. If his numbers soon go under 38 or so, which they will.....and GOP Congressman figure out that in an election not too far from now, they'll get voted out, and the power and graft money stops and they'll have to go back to being Club 401K'ers again....they will abandon ship.

As will many in the "inner circle".

The only way that maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe doesn't happen is two things:

1.)Face saving tokens are given to Trump from other countries. He can say he got tariffs reduced and we can sell surplus 1980's GumBall machines Sri Lanka and therefore the tariff regime is over.

AND

2.)It's crystal clear that medicare, medicaid, social security are totally not going to be cut *and* there will be NO horror stories of long waits and bad service at said agencies.

Otherwise, he's political toast soon.
