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.

This has to be some kind of low point in the history of American diplomacy. Trump being obeisant to a war criminal and international pariah.

Tiedrich's take on it seems accurate:

check out this supreme shitstack of dumb: some fucking idiot invited a war criminal onto American soil — and then, instead of arresting the war criminal, the fucking idiot ordered soldiers from the United States military to roll a red carpet up to the war criminal’s plane.

then the fucking idiot clapped like a trained seal while the war criminal kept him waiting on the tarmac.

and then the fucking idiot invited the war criminal to ride with him in the presidential limo, and off they went on their despot snugglebunny playdate, where nothing got accomplished.

after which, the fucking idiot posed for yet another photo where he looked weak and defeated, while the war criminal grinned like a hyena who’d just enjoyed a great meal.

and finally, when the whole disgraceful debacle was over, the fucking idiot praised himself for hitting it out of the park.

Fox News' Kilmeade: "I was just texting back and forth with Sean Hannity, who just sat down with the President. He said on a scale of 1 to 10, 'I give today a 10'. So that's the President grading what he thought of the meeting."

how fucking idiotic is that?


Outside of the MAGA cult? Very idiotic and destructive of American interests.
