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.

HANNITY: "I want to go back to this one issue, though, because the media has been focused on this and has been attacking you. In no circumstances, you're promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody."

TRUMP: "Except for Day One."


This exchange reminds me of Trump's call to the "Proud Boys" to stand by. America has been warned, repeatedly.

There will be a thousand executive orders signed on day one of Trump's second administration. Expect the worst. Trump will go after his many enemies and will solidify his power. Special prosecutors tasked to go after enemies. Loyalty pledges for everyone working in government, with mass layoffs of those who do not sign. A declaration that we are in a time of war. The Insurrection Act is invoked, and the military quashes peaceful protests and confiscates election equipment. Dismissal of many Generals, and appointments of new Generals who have signed loyalty pledges. The end of the great American experiment in self-government, as a new autocratic class emerges to take power. This is what Trump wants.
