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.

Funny thing, I seem to remember we used to have a law against Presidents remaining involved in their business... had to divest, right? What was it? Hmmm... some weird word that started with E... Elonification?? No, haha. Elonuments!! yeah that was it... er... EMOLUMENTS!!

In '16, Trump just blew off Emoluments. How quaint. Now, he's literally started a personal 100% profit making business while in office! This is next level stuff! Biden's nepotistic deals pulled in a few million to the family? PFFT! This will show him how it's REALLY done!

During Donald Trump’s first term, CREW tracked more than 3,700 conflicts of interest, as politicians, foreign governments and special interest groups sought access to both him and his administration by spending money at Trump properties. CREW estimated that as many as 30 special interest groups received favorable policy outcomes from the Trump administration after hosting an event at a Trump property and that Trump’s companies earned at least $13.6 million in payments from foreign governments. Additionally, during his time in office, 143 members of Congress visited Trump properties.

More fooling the Tools. Or is it tooling of the fools?
