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.

Over at the other power vertical, the one tasked with digital authoritarian capture, Musk has “Big Balls,” aka Edward Coristine, an architect of the data thefts. His grandfather, Valery Fedorovich Martynov, was a KGB agent in the technical espionage division of the Soviet Embassy in Washington DC —an interesting continuity of interests and skills.

I swear, what is it with these guys and Russians? Everywhere you look when Trump’s inner circle is around, Russians are tumbling out of closets and falling out of trees. I doubt that anyone is able to walk in the White House without tripping over a Russian.

And for some reason, huge sections of the American public continue to believe it’s a hoax.

Why of course! Donald Trump, Gateway Pundit and Breitbart tell me it’s a hoax!

And Gateway Pundit and Breitbart have their own stable of Russians under wraps.

Russians all the way down.

“Russia! Russia! Russia!”

Indeed.

The power of propaganda at work.
