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.

I'm all for getting the Liberals who for so long have owned DC, NY, CA and the key levers of America.

And the mortgage thing----- i used to say on this board *so many* people fudge on mortage and other credit applications. I'm not saying that makes it right but it's basically KNOWN - even to the lender that it is going on. I shared a detailed story on TMF when back in the day a mid size regional bank was doing a 7 figure business real estate loan for me, and indirectly told me that the "certified" appraisal would be high enough to where i only needed 5% down versus 15% others were quoting me in those days. And the banks KNOW people are jacking up net worth on pape---- yet they went after Trump for that ----so hey, good ---let them also be busted for it.

I still continue to have more negative feeling about what's going on than positive - and this is from a guy that wanted tariffs on TMF when fellow Conservatives woudl do the "i'm a real Conservative i'm a free trader" stuff. But some of the trends, some of the outright dumbness ....i find it very concerning and i continue to believe that when ACA bills go up on people , our side will be BEGGING....to save ObamaCare before election time. How cute is that.

Right now, barring a war or "terrorism" or 3rd party effort - i'm calling 2028 for Dems. If Club 401K and the cabal of White Extremist Progressives are told to be quiet....and the right candidate comes along - we're toast. IF the party unites behind an AOC......i still feel she or another Progressive can perhaps beat us in 2028 based on trends i see now.

On top of that, i worry if we're not ceding future industry, discoveries, prowess, and profits to other countries.

I wish - i could have MAGA sans the trailer trash.

Sorry not all Bondi related i know.
