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.

"People like this:
msn.com - Senior USA...

Two top security officials at the US Agency for International Development were put on administrative leave Saturday night after refusing to allow officials from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to access systems at the agency, even after DOGE personnel threatened to call law enforcement, multiple sources familiar told CNN."

"Here's a question, actually a couple, that the media won't ask.

What "higher authority do these dimwits think they're answering to? Because it sure isn't the US Constitution.
What are they trying to hide?"
- Dope

That is a question only Dumbass Dope doesn't understand the answer to.

He wants to know why a government entity created and funded by congress as an independent body to spend U.S. foreign aid might want to refuse access to their systems (including classified information) to a group that is extra-governmental (i.e. not created by congress, not led by a Senate confirmed leadership).

This is because Dope thinks everyone on government is supposed to work for the president. He doesn't understand they are supposed to work for the people. He doesn't understand that we do not elect dictators.

Not only is Dope a dumbass, people like him are causing long term damage to the U.S. and its interests through their sheer stupidity and ignorance.
