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 has made grifting great. So much sweet corruption.

nytimes.com - Trump donors fundraising benefits

Hundreds of Big Post-Election Donors Have Benefited From Trump’s Return to Office

The president’s team has created a highly unusual fund-raising apparatus for causes he favors. The Times analyzed more than half a billion dollars in contributions from 346 donors. Some have received pardons, jobs, access to the president and other valuable gains.

Did any but the MAGA cultists think we would get anything but this kind of corruption from the most corrupt POTUS we've ever had?

It seems that with great wealth comes great cynicism. Such sad times for our great Republic.
