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.

This morning, Orange Jesus threatened to put Mark Zuckerberg and others in prison if he is elected president.

Did he?

He said he would put "Election Fraudsters" in jail. Which is a pretty anodyne thing for a Presidential candidate to say, in general.

He also alluded to his (and others') longstanding belief that the various charitable donations to elections departments and voter outreach programs that are funded (in part) by Zuckerberg's contributions are unlawful. So clearly he's warning his political opponents (like Zuckerberg, he believes) to make darn sure that they don't do anything that can be considered illegal, else he's going after them. But again, that's not an especially unusual type of threat to make - it would be hardly remarkable if a progressive Secretary of State or Attorney General made a statement that there would be zero tolerance for people engaged in, say, election intimidation and that anyone who tried that would be rigorously prosecuted.

It's unusual only in that Trump is mistaken in believing that folks like Zuckerberg are actually committing election fraud (which they are not), but he's not actually threatening to put Zuck in prison if he's elected.
