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.

I don’t think I’ve used this word previously in writing. But if I used the vocabulary of a MAGA-style person, I would say that Trump was cucked.

Yes. And almost everyone outside the MAGAsphere will see it that way. Certainly the world leaders who were watching would.

But today I was at the gym and, as usual a couple of TVs were tuned to FOX. At the bottom of the screen it read:

WH: Trump making America respected again.

They were indicating that the sentiment was coming from WH, the Whitehouse, but you can be sure FOX, or most of the shameless propagandists who dominate FOX 'news' will be parroting whatever comes out of the WH and Leavitt's lying lips.
