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.

Joe represented he would be a one term pres and then turn the job over to younger talent within the party. HE turned on that pledge, guess WHO allowed him to break that pledge? This disaster is 100 percent on Jill, end of story.

Joe shouldn't have run in the first place. He was in dementia (perhaps early) when he took office.
He was a puppet, run by who-knows-who.

The Jill thing was interesting. I said back in 2020 that it was going to be interesting to watch the battles, Jill vs. the Clinton/Obama faction. I knew from what happened with President Wilson when his wife Edith Wilson became the defacto power that Biden's health would be hidden, same as Wilson's and Roosevelt's was. The wives really enjoy their power, and will fight fight fight to keep it.

Their pyrrhic victory in 2000 was dumb. They had Trump trussed up like Gulliver. If they had not played games, Trump would be ending his 2nd term now, after being muzzled for 8 years. The Democrats would now (2024) have a strong, not old, not demented candidate and would probably win.

Now he knows their game, knows who were the RINOs, knows there were traitors in his own party, and may well be out for revenge.

The thing about these people -- the one in the big club that we ain't in -- is that they don't look past the first move. I recognized that 30-40 years ago. They never look at what will happen after the first move.
