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.

Lying about walking humidors and blowing off the incompetence of getting a US ambassador murdered by Islamists is one thing. Lying about the relationship you had with a sex trafficker (when they have the flight logs) is another.

Besides, they don’t want him to admit to it. They want him to squirm while he denies it.

I was speaking from vantage point --- of winning. Politics. Something that needs to be done in order to govern (kinda like Trump did and Republicans who used to shout against protectionism....fell in line lol and won twice)

The Clintons kicked our ass. They got 2 terms and left in good political standing. Our speaker - bit the dust.

Tis why I say - a dumb shit congressman will look like an idiot questioning these 2.
******

Meanwhile, in Europe, the highest ranking scalp that gets taken might be Keir Starmer’s.

LOL yes -- I dont read details but is this solely cause he hired Mandelson? I mean really, does an applicant say "I diddled teenagers" during an interview?

Either way the "release the files" crowd got what they wanted.

Sort of :) LOLOLOL

On a side note----I was never in an environment where us teenagers---could somehow ----slip away. from home, be on boats and in clubs without our parents knowing. Yeah ok, snuck in some porn. Skipped school (I was a pro). But shit, no way in hell me, or my teenage sister would be gone to Mar O Lago or some airplane--without our folks belting us first.

But then again, the least successful person in my generation in my immediate and extended family is a Masters in Sociology who has had multiple audiences with PM's of Australia. The rest are spread between Goldman Sachs, and direct reports to tech CEOs.

*culture*

Baaaaaaaaaaa. "hi, is Timmy there? Yes. May I ask who is calling? Oh shit, now use manners and talk to my friends mom...... CULTURE" Keep it up people - see what you keep getting, Your kids dont deserve it, but you people 0- and your society, politics, and national finances - deserve it. I love seeing you people self-rape.
