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.

This week, at least three presidential nominees were caught lying under oath. But curious minds want to know: Is that still a thing? Does anybody care? Or is that just one more once-upon-a-time disqualifying thing that we shrug off… because Trump?

Let’s start with Kash Patel, the MAGA troll set to take over an FBI already hollowed out by Trump’s Vengeance Purge.¹ Here’s what he said under oath: “Trump’s FBI chief pick, Kash Patel, insists he has no ‘enemies list’ and won’t seek retribution.”

I know that word “literally,” is often misused badly, but there is literally no sentient creature — in this world or next — who believes that is the truth.

Why? Because Patel wrote a whole fuqqing book about his enemies list. He wrote it down. And published it. And I still can’t get over this.

But what do you expect when a convicted criminal gets elected as a “law and order” president?
