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.

Perhaps Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile's dementia is contagious.

JD Vance this morning on "Meet the Press": "This is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War 2, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."

Well, there must have been some other history classes I slept through because I thought Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker and president Truman dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Hirohito to unconditionally negotiate, umm, surrender along with a headless Germany in 1945.

Too bad Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile wasn't president then, though, because if he was president there never would have been a WWII (or he would have ended it in 24 hours). <sarcasm, in case you're in the cult>
