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.

And even better (same thread):

The book goes on to catalogue many disturbing incidents during Biden’s four years. Yes it got worse in 2023/2024, but it was bad from the beginning: cabinet meetings were described as “terrible and at times uncomfortable” from the onset. Biden used notecards. Canned responses

And who wrote those for him?

The picture the authors paint is of a president who was unable to adequately discharge the duties of his office from the very beginning of his term and certainly was unfit by the end of it: by 2024 cabinet secretaries confessed he couldn’t be relied on in an emergency.

Yikes

Moments throughout the book are stunning, but only one made me gasp. It was not something Biden did, but that one of his aides said about his 2024 run: “He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years—he’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while.” 9/

In other words, the 2024 plan—for this aide at least—was to try to get a mentally unfit president elected for four more years, and then to hide him from the public while unelected staff ran the country. That’s an attempt to undermine democracy and defraud the American public.


And why not? That's more or less what they did from 2020-2024.
