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.

LurkerMom: We are meant to believe that the United States Secret Service, tasked with protecting the very life of the president, cannot crack the case...

Take it up with the Secret Service. And you're quoting the Daily Mail at us? You use the worst 'news' sources imaginable.

LurkerMom: Who is paying for Hunter's expenses while at long stays at the WH, Camp David, trips abroad etc.
And what about this expense?


Again, what expense? There's no huge incremental expense to an extra person being at the WH or Camp David or on Air Force One.

'Secret Service paying over $30K per month for Malibu mansion to protect Hunter Biden'

We're getting into CrazyLand here. Trump gave six months extra Secret Service protection to his kids, three officials. It cost taxpayers $1.7 million. washingtonpost.com - Trump secret service children cost mnuchin

And that's just 6 months. Are you outraged?

LurkerMom: It [sic] it were my next door neighbor's son, right, none of my business. If it is my President's son, yes it is my business...

Actually, it's not. But with republicans, cruelty is a feature, not a bug.
