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.

BHMThank you for that answer although it seems the dependency on contributions is rather indirect and weak. After all, when Trump becomes a dictator he no longer needs campaigns and hence campaign donors

It will be enough for me if Trump bends the will of the DOJ and gets them to investigated his political enemies and plain enemies. I will consider he consider he is behaving like a dictator then, and that is one of the hallmarks. If he privatizes any part of government without Congressional input - dictatorial powers. If he does something clearly illegal and is somehow cleared by judges he appointed - dictator. If he reaches down and replaces anything beyond the 4000 to 6000 politically replaceable employees - I'll watch closely and listen. Of course, y'all will be just cheering him on if he does any of that.

Y'all got chicken feed at the last minute on the tax break, and it was taken back too - no tax break for you now, but the 10% have theirs still.

The internment camps mystify me as they'll be expensive to run, especially with planes flying out every day. Please don't tear families apart. If Granpa never got his citizenship, lets make an exception and not tear families apart. Granpa won't hurt us and he's done reproducing so he will not replace us. Let's not send young kids back unless there's a family at the other end. Would you please use a little humanity here? It will go a long way for your kids to be able to stomach what Daddy did.

He doesn't have to rape the treasury, he will be in a position to sell favors, grant pardons, etc., for profit and there will be some.
