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.

Future candidates will be attracted to the office, not for Commie motives like "service", but the prospect of stealing, literally,

Only if we fail to successfully prosecute Trump, as well as each individual family member and associate who had their hands in the till or were actively engaged in criminal behavior

The only way the guardrails and Constitution will be re-established is if they can be pointed to as a real threat to those who violate them.

For instance:

See Exhibit 1:
Donald Trump, serving 30-40 in maximum security
Donald Trump Jr., serving 30-40 in maximum security
Eric Trump, serving 30-40 in maximum security
Jared Kushner, serving 30-40 in maximum security
Ivanka Trump
Kash Patel
Todd Blanche
Pam Bondi
Stephen Miller
Kristi Noem

Etc
Etc
Etc

Some wise wags will say "You're just wanting to throw them in jail because you don't like them.

No, these people have broken the law and have almost succeeded in breaking America.

And they did it knowingly, thumbing their noses at the law, the Constitution, and the guardrails as they did so.

No soft prison time for the principals.... no private phones, no internet access, no Club Feds.

Just put them away so the rest of us can get about the task of rebuilding America, and they can contemplate their failures for decades.... or as long as they live.
