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.

Look at George HW Bush and James Baker post Gulf-War. Look at the tough language they used about Israeli settlements.

I remember how Saint Reagan and Bush both turned into Sgt Schultz, when people started asking questions about Iran-Contra. Then Bush covered everything up by pardoning the major perps, like SecDef Weinberger.

Hot air about settlements does not cover up Saint Reagan deploying troops to cover Israel's flank, when they invaded Lebanon. iirc, Reagan had one of the battleships steaming offshore, giving the Israelis fire support. Then over 200 of our guys were killed, in one morning. Then Reagan invaded Grenada to get the barracks bombing off the front page, and a couple dozen more of our guys died.

As noted before, to the big shots, we Proles are nothing but expendable meat.
