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.

you shouldn’t accept a gift because it’s fucking wrong, you ignorant asshole. it’s specifically forbidden by the Constitution that you imagine somehow doesn’t apply to you.

but look at what’s eating away at Donny: all these Middle Eastern counties ruled over by despotic kings and princes have bigger planes than we do. oh, boo fucking hoo. cry me a river.

this delusional dipshit just doesn’t get it. he’s not royalty — no matter how hard he pretends. he’s a low-rent slumlord from Queens, New York who failed upwards forever until he finally stumbled ass-backwards into the Oval Office.

somehow he imagines that this entitles him to the world’s biggest airplane.

I guarantee that no other democratically-elected leader thinks twice about what they fly around in. it’s just not important. Emmanuel Macron doesn’t give a shit if his plane isn’t the biggest. neither does Mark Carney. neither does the Pope Fucking Leo, for that matter.

but Donny’s so broken-inside that he throws a shit-fit if he doesn’t get the most ice cream. I wish I were making this up.
