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.

Hey Trumpers...you sure about voting for that guy?

See what those who know him best have to say:

4 STAR Marine GENERAL James Mattis, hired by Trump as Secretary of Defense: " [Trump] has no moral compass; a misguided form of nationalism; beyond stupid to felony stupid" and that's when I resigned.

4 STAR Army GENERAL Mark Milley, served as Trump's Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: "We don't take an oath to an individual, we take an oath to the Constitution. [Trump] is a wannabe dictator."

4 STAR Marine GENERAL John Kelly, hired by Trump to be his personal Chief of Staff: "[Trump] is a deeply dishonest person who has no idea what America stands for. The most flawed person I've ever met."

3 STAR Army LIEUTENANT GENERAL H.R. McMaster, hired by Trump as his National Security Advisor: "[Trump's] failure to condemn white supremacy “gives space to these groups that foment hatred and intolerance.”

Dan Coats, hired by Trump as his Director of National Intelligence: "He doesn't know the difference between the truth and a lie."

STAR Navy Admiral William McCraven, Commander, US Special Operations, Seal Commander who took out Osama bin Laden and coordinated the capture of Sadaam Hussein: Trump's comments "may be the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime."

4 STAR ARMY GENERAL Barry McCaffrey. He received three Purple Heart medals for injuries sustained during his service in the Vietnam War, two Silver Stars, and two Distinguished Service Crosses—the second-highest United States Army award for valor. He was inducted into United States Army Ranger Hall of Fame at the United States Army Infantry Center : [Trump] "is a serious threat to USA national security."

CIA Director Gina Haspel, Trump's CIA choice: Haspel said Trump's post-election behavior was 'insanity' and he was 'acting out like a 6-year-old with a tantrum."
