The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

I don't entirely understand the reluctance to acknowledge that Trump actually had a major part in this happening. He's the one who decided...

The Felon had a major part in that he had to approve it. But I don't for one second believe he came up with it. He is -frankly- a moron. Apparently always has been. Plus, he is showing signs of dementia. His brain never worked that well, and now it's declining.

From what we know, somebody had the idea, and whispered the correct obsequiousness in his ear, and he agreed to go ahead. He was maneuvered into this deal by someone pulling his strings. My guess is Miller. I don't think Vance has that kind of influence, nor the smarts (he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, though he is sharper than the Felon).
