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.

sano: ProPublica reported Thursday on a series of lavish trips Thomas has taken over more than two decades, which have been funded by billionaire and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.

Washingtonian has followed up with an article on Harlan Crow:

When Republican megadonor Harlan Crow isn't lavishing Justice Clarence Thomas with free trips on his private plane and yacht (in possible violation of Supreme Court ethics rules), he lives a quiet life in Dallas among his historical collections. These collections include Hitler artifacts'two of his paintings of European cityscapes, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, and assorted Nazi memorabilia'plus a garden full of statues of the 20th century's worst despots.

Not to be outdone, his brother Trammell is accused of sex-trafficking:

Trammell Crow Jr., the brother of Harlan Crow, the Republican megadonor whose wealth has been linked to funding Clarence Thomas's lifestyle, has been accused of financing a sex-trafficking ring.

The Thomas's have such lovely friends.
