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.

IF???? Look at the sycophants he's choosing to work with- and he has immunity- and he has a documented history of blowing off the advice of those who would temper his actions.

Of course. He clearly rejects the idea that the DoJ - or any department of the federal government that is under the President - should be independent of the President. And he doesn't tend to take advice.

Neither of those, however, provides much of a basis for concluding that Donald Trump would direct his agencies to go after Hunter Biden specifically. He's a useless target. Biden's out of politics now - he's not even going to have the informal "soft" power that an Obama or even a Bill Clinton has. Hunter never did anything to Trump - he was a lever to get to Biden Sr., and there's nothing there now. No one else in the party cares what happens to Hunter. I genuinely do not credit the idea that Trump would direct his DoJ to go after Hunter Biden.
