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.

Orban got wiped out in the election.

I'm surprised he didn't take a page from his USian/S Korean/Brazilian counterparts, and launch a coup to stay in power.

Next, Vance negotiated with Iran for 21 hours and walked away nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Squat.

The Beeb had several people discussing that conference. First consensus was that, given the complexity of the issues, it was absurd to think anything could be resolved in a day or two.

One analyst said that, at the jump, Trump said that, if it succeeded, he would take all the credit for himself. If it failed, he would blame Vance. (Typical "JC" move)

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that his wife isn’t a cross-dresser!

She is both non-white, and not a Christian. Two strikes against her, in MAGA land. Vance is supposedly, Catholic. As noted last week, given the lack of a Catholic Easter service at the Pentagon, and threats made to the Pope, this regime is becoming openly anti-Catholic faster than I anticipated. I would not be surprised to see Vance thrown under the bus, and replaced with someone with better white, evangelical Christian, credentials, like Mike Johnson (Southern Baptist)
