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.

When a president and his administration has trouble telling the truth on just about every issue, it is folly to put any trust in what they tell us.

Welp. You can choose to believe that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear weapon and that they only had peaceful intentions for their nuclear program if you like.

Nobody else does, though.

Remember- just yesterday, Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear program was “completely obliterated”.

And...? It might be, it might not be. Clearly the sites they have aren't going to be of much use to them for some months, if not years. You also have to factor in the Israelis taking out their nuke scientists...

If you have trouble telling the truth, it’s no surprise that people have trouble believing anything you say- or at least wait for confirmation from independent sources.

Yeah, about that. If Trump looked up at a cloudless sky and said "What a nice day it is" you people would accuse him of lying and demand to see a radar plot of local precipitation. In other words, he's not the problem.
