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.

so we are back where we always have been with trump :
- what does he WANT to do?
- what will he actually do?
- is this anyhow predictable, especially with regards to timing?

what little foundation we have is also back to the same :
- trump will prioritize items of personal benefit to him, family, and cronies (in that order). some unpredictable emotional moment will trigger actual action.
- in the rare instance that trump feels he really has to follow through on a promise, or favor, or ingratiation, it will unfold with someone else doing most of the work\responsibility. he used to consider personal risk, but this has become ephemeral.

for both scenarios, 'what have you done for me lately' will be a dominant factor. so jan6'ers need to produce.

in the complete 'no risk' category, i see a lot of medals being awarded to hypocritical cowards (ala rush limbaugh...probably alex jones this time), and more rightwing cause celebre criminals being pardoned.
