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.

Will be interesting to see who refuses to abandon this flaming wreck of an administration, choosing instead to ride this flying funeral pyre into the dirt.

NOT REALLY.

*Poll numbers go down.

*CongressCritterrs feel angst for 2026.

*Dem CongressFolk get uptick in fundraising.

*Lame Duckery starts to kick in.

You gotta remember, Trump isn't loyal. Never has been. AND, nobody is loyal to him - not really. They are all one big cabal of users. Users users users bloodsuckers....from his Wife to his kids to his cabinet to everyone. For now they love suckling at the teat of power but IF things get sour - these ain't Michael Deavers, Pat Buchanans, David Axelrods, Valerie Jarrets, Robert Reiches, ie - lifetime loyal people. They'll be busy getting their next job or book deal.

So if any combo of the above happens, things will get tough in paradise.

I WOULD have included: Citizens, even those of opposing viewpoint uniting in a loud yet organized way to beat back certain things BUT - you don't have a country, or a culture any longer. So I can't offer that one. But the list up there I wrote? 51% ---it eventually happens.

I'd say a NeoCon Liz Cheney Iran War would buy him time - but those are even bigger users. The NeoCons. They've been users since the start of human history - just look how they spat out Dubya. So even that won't help beyond the first 100 hours on FOX news.'

Since you refuse to compromise with the mainstream, and you don't have a country- you pretty much have to be patient. Let him be him. Let his staff be themselves. Eventually I hate to say it, it will happen.
