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.

You deliberately missed the point, as you always intentionally do.

The point is that whatever Hegseth did or tried to do to Kelly, it was in Kelly's capacity as a military officer, NOT as a "SENATOR."


And your “point” is no point at all, except for sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Kelly is no longer in the active military, subject to the US Code of Military Justice.

IF he is brought back to active status for the purpose of prosecution for some “crime”, it must be for a crime or infraction committed while serving in the active military.

What crime did Mark Kelly commit while serving on active duty? The answer is “none”, though I am sure that Mssr. Kegsbreath, as has Mme. Blondi in numerous instances, will drum up some fictitious accusation to keep this kerfuffle roiling on social media, but utterly failing when it comes to the matter of actual evidence and the law.

Your point is simply a matter of bloviation.

My point concerns the actual law.
