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.

Corporations and individuals, including many in the crypto business, are shoveling money to Mad King Donald seeking favor from the president.

When the cryptocurrency entrepreneur Eric Schiermeyer heard that President Trump was holding small group dinners with major donors, he saw opportunity.

Mr. Schiermeyer reached out to a lobbyist with connections in Mr. Trump’s orbit, who arranged for him to attend a dinner with the president at his private Mar-a-Lago club on March 1 in exchange for donations to a pro-Trump PAC called MAGA Inc. totaling $1 million.

The personal and corporate donations were among dozens of seven- and eight-figure contributions to MAGA Inc. from crypto and other interests revealed in a campaign finance filing on Thursday night that hinted at the access Mr. Trump accords those willing to pay.


In the first half of his first year back in office, Mad King Donald has grifted an astounding $177 million.

Cha-Ching.

Imagine if former presidents Biden or Obama put $177 million in their pockets. Republicans would hold around the clock committee hearings and Fox "News" would be calling for impeachment on a permanent chyron.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt man to ever set foot in the Oval Office.

Even worse, he's a pedophile to boot.
