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.

LM says: Joe Vladimir Biden: "If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money"

And guess what he got fired.

Don't mess with Joe Vladimir Biden.


I've been debating with myself about posting this, because it will be believed only by those who are aware of the truth, and dismissed (barring a miracle) by those who really really need to open their eyes and ears and recognize what's really true and what are really lies.

Re Donald Trump's assertions, it is critical to keep in mind who his mentor and lawyer was for years, until the guy's death from AIDS. It was Roy Cohn, who Trump admired with unbounded enthusiasm and asked Cohn to teach him how to be like him. (I've documented all of this in the past.) Roy Cohn, whose early training was as an aide to the despotic lawyer Joseph McCarthy, taught Trump.....an eager student....that the way to succeed is to lie whenever possible (the bigger and more frequently repeated the better), to go back on your word, to stiff those who do work for you....etc etc etc. And that is what Cohn was known for. Nothing was too shady a tactic for him. And Trump was the perfect student, given his mindset, which had been amplified by his earlier family business experience and the ethos established by his father (take as much as you can while giving as little as you can get away with, and if lies help....then use them).

Lying is Trump's go-to, and his ego calls the shots. And it works. It doesn't matter how clear and evident the truth is. As one example....despite his claims to be a gifted money manager, he spiraled the national debt up to the stratosphere. The numbers are there, clear as day. Yet his idolators want another 4 years, and really believe that he should actually be in the White House now.

It's a mad mad mad mad world.
