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.

...I would say, in a couple days, Trump will declare the cease fire "strong", "powerful", and "perfect", rather than gone, ie, he will surrender to Iran, again. He is in campaign mode. His previous comments, that he cares not one whit about the financial situation of Proles, are no longer operative. Now, he is in Prole pandering mode. Probably to stay in pandering mode, until November. Then it will be back to "JC" profit maximization mode.

‘We should be at $2.25 at the pump’: Trump says Exxon, Chevron, Shell and BP are price gouging drivers. Do you agree?

President Donald Trump is accusing major oil companies of keeping gasoline prices artificially high despite a sharp drop in crude oil prices, saying American drivers are being "gouged" and calling on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate.

"The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil," Trump wrote Wednesday on Truth Social (1). "Those prices are dropping like a rock! In other words, customers are being 'gouged.'"


currently.att.yahoo.com - Pump trump says

Decades ago, Mark Russell did a song about Reagan, to the melody of "That's Entertainment". I can only remember a few lines.

"It's baiting a red time. It's Bonzo at bed time."

"Don't be disapprovy, it's only a movie."

If we don't laff at Trump the Magnificent, the alternative is exhaustion, at the constant torrent of delusional garbage that pours from his pie-hole.
