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.

One can only imagine what mental contortions Usha Vance must perform when she hears the Trump administration policies that her husband endorses. Then again, perhaps there’s no struggle at all and her adjacency to whiteness and power may seem like a shield to protect herself and her children, even as some of MAGA’s loudest voices will never accept her or them.

Her "adjacency to whiteness and power." Rings a bell.

In Nazi occupied Austria my family was 'mischling'- mixed Jewish and Catholic.

A lot of mischling were dedicated to their duties in the Nazi army, believing their loyalty would protect their loved ones back home.

Imagine their surprise upon learning their loved ones had been sent to the camps... incinerated.

Usha, American mischling
