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.

A sobering, well actually quite depressing, look at what likely lies ahead for our Republic by three very experienced journalists.

Trump has probably broken our system of government beyond repair. With the help of a GOP controlled Congress and a right wing dominated SCOTUS.

nytimes.com - Trump a year of unconstrained power

snippet:

I think there’s another really important point that we haven’t talked about yet. One reason I think it’s very likely that Donald Trump ends up being the most consequential president of our lifetimes, is that it seems to me very unlikely that we go back to the way it was before after this experience. We’re in an environment where there’s not a huge constituency for a restorationist president, for people to say, “Oh, actually, I really hope the next president will voluntarily restrain themselves and exercise prudence and respect the balance of powers.”
