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.

Donald J. Trump O
@realDonaldTrump • August 16, 2026, 21:04 UTC Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the
Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said,
"No thanks!" Thank you for your attention to this matter.
President DONALD J. TRUMP

Though Pete Hegseth is doing his best to degrade US military readiness, Donald Trump is the single most dangerous threat to the security and peace of the free world.


Take your pick of dictators- Trump has strengthened their hands.
