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.

What a joke! Another Trump Con, nothing more..... a scam stock bought by dopes."

It may be a scam bought by dopes, but social media has become the dominant source of information on earth. As such, a President and his sycophants who can regulate tv/radio/internet via legislation cannot be demonstrated to NOT have a conflict of interest when it comes to controlling the media/journalism.

Facebook, X, TikTok, Reddit all compete with DJT for eyeballs and advertisers. It's within the power of a proven fraudulent criminal like Trump to push policy that would hinder his competitors to the advantage of his own media company.

Trump's modus operandi is to obscure his communications with his fixers. He'll lie to the cameras, he'll lie to his rallies and he'll lie to his favored media personalites, but he won't take the stand and repeat those lies under oath.

"Teflon Don learned well from Roy Cohn how to maintain deniability; don't leave trails!! Take the 5th. Never admit anything.

As POTUS he was able to buy enough judges to help him evade consequences. If reelected he will place more sycophants in high places to augment his graft.
