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.

By the way, here's what democrat mouth organ CNN has to say about the guy:

"You know, I think he is a person who's hard to demonize. You know, it's very easy to demonize somebody like a Jim Jordan, who's a firebrand. He's out there, he's fighting. And then Donald Trump can demonize an Emmer because he didn't believe the election was rigged.

But you had this kind of, I don't use the word 'milquetoast,' that's not quite the right word, he's a serious person, who is not prone to getting in big, huge fights with people. He is known as a listener, I was told. He is hugely conservative, but he doesn't wear it on his sleeve all the time. So he can get along with moderates and listen to them. And it will be interesting to see what happens with Ukraine aid, for example. But, you know, he's not the devil incarnate."

X (Twitter): Brent Baker 🇺🇲🇺🇦 🇮🇱 on X: "How generous. CNN’s @GloriaBorger frets @RepMikeJohnson is “hard to demonize” and though he’s “hugely conservative” she concede

LOL. So your tame media recognizes that the usual smear tactics (that were downloaded into your programming) aren't going to fly.
