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.

I heard mostly feelings and joy at the convention. When she did let her plan for price controls leak into public views, she was soundly beat up by everybody for her impractical program. Taxing unrealized capital gains is another one.

I see them as trial balloons. The entire reason you're harping on it is you haven't been able to get anything to stick, so you're frustrated. Trump's death goo isn't working. But Trump has had plenty of time and what has he done? Abandoned Project 2025. Thrown the Evangelicals away as he abandons an abortion ban - prison does tend to scare narcissistic types who need adulation. So what's his big issue? Back to the border? He's a one trick pony who'll screw up the border for us while he slimes our reputation. Trump has deliberately shed anything he can get criticized on and is upset he can't hit Kamala with his death goo. Cheers!
