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.

Trump is a Dunning-Kruger idiot, that's obvious, but he seems to be advised by nothing but equally idiotic economic bozos.

Does the Felon strike you as someone who wants people with their own opinions to challenge him? A lot of leaders want that, because they know they don't know everything, and a contrarian may think of something they didn't. The Felon wants yes-men and sycophants who worship the very ground he walks on. If someone disagrees with him, they are a "very stupid person", and will get fired post-haste.

Yes-men and sycophants tend to be morons, idiots, and bozos.

So this is no surprise. It's how you get a Secretary of Defense who has no clue about OPSEC, military matters, and pretty much anything else. He was a clueless talking head who praised the Felon for years, and got selected for SOD because of it.
