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.

No, of course not!

Trump couldn't have done this, or at least not without some terrible cost like giving over Ukraine to Putin. Biden had the international reputation and contacts to make this multi-national deal happen.

Trump Truth Social posts from May, June, July

Vladimir Putin will do this for me but not for anyone else.

Crooked Joe Biden will likely pay billions of dollars.

Biden will never get them out without paying a king's ransom.

I will get them out for no compensation immediately following our victory on November 5th.


Trump was President when people were being held, but he couldn't get them out.

When Trump did get a swap, he got 2 Americans in exchange for 250 prisoners. Art of the deal! LOL

This deal was 16 Americans and American allies exchanged for 8 Russians.

But, of course, Trump said the swap 'wasn't a good deal'.

JD Vance, the little suckophant said the prisoners were released because bad guys all over the world recognize that Donal Trump is about to be back in office so they are cleaning house. That's a good thing and I think it is a testament to Donald Trump's strength.

Huh? That makes no sense at all outside of the MAGA bubble. It would really be the opposite. If Putin thought his buddy Donnie would soon be POTUS he would wait for the easy mark that he could totally screw over.

Vance...Trump's mini-me.

But Trump can rest easy knowing that his MAGA cult will hear only his lies and the lies of the RW media. Such a cozy little cocoon the MAGAs live in.
