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.

And while he wasn't smart enough to realize before the war that oil shortages elsewhere in the world can drive up prices for U.S. consumers even though we're a net exporter, he has learned that lesson by now.

He said, openly, a couple times, he doesn't care what US Proles pay for gas. And he bragged, repeatedly, about all the tankers heading for the US, to bid against USians, for US produced oil. Based on his record, the scenario of the MOU being nothing but a tactic to prevent a GOP beat down, in November, before being repudiated, is not impossible.

Trump continues to bluster like he is smarter than everyone.

Trump claims Iran deal is ‘unconditional surrender,’ says his power has ‘no limits’: Axios

U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that he has unlimited power and insisted the deal reached with Iran amounts to “unconditional surrender” by Tehran, in an interview with Axios.

Asked what he had learned from the war about the limits to his power, Trump said that “I haven’t learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but there are no limits.”

It is not impossible that Trump told "Bibi" the MOU, and the cease fire in Lebanon, are shams, just like the other 40 times he declared "peace is at hand", to get past the election, before resuming the blockade.
