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.

You are an investor, surely you knew of Trump's pathetic business "acumen". But even with Trump's lifelong carnage of a business career, Trump's "avoiding STD's was my Vietnam", Trump getting Daddy's Doctor to declare he had an awful case of bone spurs in order to evade the 'Nam draft,

Since Hillary never did anything, but leach off of Bill's coattails, she has no personal record, like Trump does. And, she wasn't draft bait, the way WASP young men were. Remember Bill doing some sort of quick two-step to evade the draft? Remember Dick Cheney doing several quick two-steps to evade the draft? Remember "W" Bush and Dan Quayle having their daddies pull strings to get them into the Guard, to protect them from the draft?

Luv ya, man, but am also totally baffled at your "Trump was the lesser evil than Hillary", lol.

As pointed out, several times, over the years: my calculus said that Hillary is smoother than Trump, and might get away with the crap she would pull. While Trump was such an oaf, he would be caught. And he was caught, twice: Holding Congressionally approved aid for Ukraine, to try to force that country to create "dirt" on Hunter, and, again, for trying to overthrow the government. If nothing else, Hillary would be shrieking that the prosecutions were "another huge conspiracy against women", because she plays the victim card just as much as Trump. Trump's problem with playing the victim card is it's a hard case to make for a born rich WASP male.
