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.

But on a more serious note - if he's going to put NeoCon stooges around him - it means one or all of these things:


1.)He's an idiot. He still doesn't get that the Liz Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz people are just mules for anyone from Israel to Northrop.


2.)This cabal is so strong - Trump can't do a damn thing about it.

Even Reagan had to have the Trilaterals over for dinner. Even Reagan had to put HW on the ticket mind you back then, the NeoCons were more agouti the soviets and soviet client states and HW was pure establishment, not Neocon.

I lean towards #2 - the NeoCon Cabal is more powerful than we can dream of.

I look back - George HW and James Baker talked openly against Israel vis a vis settlements.

Ask them if interest rates stayed high too long. Ask them if it costed re-election. Ask them if GDP wasn't growing by the time Bill Clinton was sworn in.

Then ask Dubya who kissed the Israel ring - how he had a totally opposite and positive experience.


I gotta give credit to Bill Clinton. Mind you in the mid 90s the NeoCons were still getting this shit together BUT - Clinton didn't take Ahmed Chalabi's bait. Good for him.
