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.

Anyone remember that old BBC show from the sixties, That Was The Week That Was (TW3)? Jennifer Rubin gives us a brief reprise.

Trump world during the last week:

-holding a hate-fest at MSG that included one speaker calling Puerto Rico a floating pile of garbage

-willfully misinterpreted Biden comments (reminder: Biden is the one NOT running for president) as calling his supporters garbage

-demonized his opponents as “the enemy from within.”

-insulted Jews (not Joos), women, Democrats, and his former aides.

-imagined having loaded guns pointed at Liz Cheney

-dressed up in an orange day-glo vest (matching his complexion) and drove around in circles in a Trump emblazoned garbage truck.

-had a video released showing Trump trying to grab the garbage truck’s handle 3 times before succeeding and almost falling down trying to hoist his obese body into the garbage truck

-wore an orange vest to a campaign rally

-insulted thinking humans by telling women he would protect them whether they liked it or not (great reminder that he’s an adjudicated rapist, whether she liked it or not).

-declared he’s not Hitler

-Mike Johnson declares he will repeal the Affordable Care Act

-announced that RFK Jr. (a worm ate my brain) would be heading up the Department of Health and Human Services and Elon Musk will cut trillions from the budget (causing Herbert Hoover to smile from his grave).

-another women died in a pregnancy related medical crisis thanks to Trump’s abortion ban (“I did that”).

And that folks, WAS JUST IN ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!!

Facts, and life expectancy, have a liberal bias.
