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.

Gee, republicans shouted bloody murder over Hunter Biden using the family name to make money. No doubt they'll be outraged that the Trump spawn are making millions off of companies being given contracts with the U.S. government.

Donald Trump Jr. made an initial investment in Unusual Machines and he and brother Eric are now paid advisers for the company that the Army has decided to buy new motors from for its new drones.

Donald Trump Jr.’s stock holdings in Unusual Machines are just one example on a growing list of financial ties that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the president’s second son, have to companies that are selling products to the federal government or rely on it for regulatory approvals needed to increase their sales.

Donald Trump Jr. is an executive at 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm that has made investments in Firehawk Aerospace, SpaceX and Anduril, each of which have secured Pentagon contracts awarded this year, even as he continues to champion Mr. Hegseth. His nomination to serve as defense secretary was imperiled by a troubled personal life, including paying a woman who accused him of raping her in 2017, though he claimed the encounter was consensual.


I look forward to the republicans here lambasting the Trumps for this self-dealing with the same vigor they used for Hunter Biden.

I know, I know: I'll be waiting forever and a day.
