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.

Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and their respective Botox providers all say 'hi'.

And those two look like most of the hangers' on at MaraLago (only not as bad)

For example- look at Matt Gaetz, Kristi Noem, and Melania Trump. Hell, look at Laura Trump and half of the rest of Trump's cabinet.

One difference between Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and most of the Mara Lago crowd?

Nancy Pelosi are vain old people. The crowd at MaraLago is younger, much younger... but insist on defacing themselves for some ideal of "beauty" that baffles the rest of us.

Maybe it's like gang colors or something- though more permanent.

Imagine these folks ageing...... twenty years for now, walking around looking like THAT, with Trump a disgraced ex-president and MaraLago owned by some rich Russian oligarch.

I'm beginning to think that extreme cosmetic surgery is part of the price of entrance into Trump's inner circle.

There's more latex at MaraLago than a rubber room at the local sanitarium, though it could be argued that the same sort of clientele can be found at both.
