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.

Tomorrow night, Trump will address the nation in primetime about “elections.” The White House has been cagey about the contents of his remarks. I won’t be. Having spent years inside the national security apparatus, including as Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during Trump’s first term, I can tell you what this is really about. I expect him to re-air his election grievances and, worse, hint at how he’ll rig the system in his favor so he never loses again.

The vibe I get from this article is that it will be a mix of delusional ravings and partisan claptrap.

US networks face dilemma over whether to air Trump's election security speech

The ‌White House is considering using the speech to disclose sensitive intelligence related to China's intention or ability to interfere in the 2020 U.S. election, Reuters reported on ​Wednesday, which some Trump officials worry could be misleading.

During a Thursday press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that "it is also very possible" Trump will mention the current situation with Iran and the economy at the top of the speech, and could possibly address a range of topics.

She said that is "all the more reason" for the networks to carry the speech live, and for Americans to tune in.

I expect the networks to fall in line, and provide a platform for his bellowing and whining, lest they face "retribution".
