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.

Trump, 79, eyes new country to become 51st US state

According to Fox News correspondent John Roberts, the president wants to make the South American nation the 51st state.

“Just got off the phone with @realDonaldTrump... he told me he is seriously considering a move to make Venezuela the 51st state...” Roberts posted on X Monday morning.

MAGA would be horrified. They aren't white, and they don't speak English. And, really, MAGA is only making common cause with Catholics as long as they are useful.

Maybe Trump the Magnificent would stitch Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Venezuela into a Spanish speaking territory, safe from burdensome US regulations, but no immigration to the US allowed.
