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.

Not a coup.

The evidence says otherwise. Pelosi was the Mafia Don that delivered the choice to Biden:

1. Stay in the race, watch us distance ourselves from you and your donors vanish. You'll lose and pull down the party with you. Oh, by the way: the DOJ is looking at Hunter's influence peddling activities for Burisma (remember that?). Pelosi also allegedly threatened him with harsher methods.

2. Leave the race, be lauded as an American hero and a "Mount Rushmore" kind of a President. There is likely also some kind of payout involved. Big book deal for the family, probably Jill, and cushy no-show jobs for Hunter and the brother.

Biden's decreasing mental acuity was obvious 2 years ago and these same people glossed over it and *didn't* have this conversation before he went in front of the voters. THAT would have been the time to have this talk with Joe if everything was on the up-and-up.

But as I've said, the people that really run the democrat party will do what they have to so as to win.
