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.

She's not the only one...
Mitch McConnell just slammed Trump "let's pay the criminals fund":
"So the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong, take your pick."

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., called the fund "stupid on stilts." And said, "It will invariably put us in a position where your taxpayer dollars and my taxpayers’
dollars could potentially compensate someone who assaulted a police officer, admitted their guilt, got convicted, got pardoned, and now we’re gonna pay them for that? That’s absurd."

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said, "People are concerned about making their own ends meet, not about putting a slush fund together without a legal precedent."

"There is no specific language in the Constitution that says the president can't steal $1.7 Billion from taxpayers and use it to pay criminals who assault cops,
So it’s hard to understand why people are upset. Also, when I was on Epstein's Island I only got a back rub." ~Alan Dershowitz
