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.

For those who think that Trump will have a negative place in history because of this, I think FDR is a caution against that. FDR's opponents were relegated to the dustbin of history, not FDR, because FDR's changes lasted.

I don't mind caps, or reasonable limits to immigration. I don't think we should ignore the Geneva Convention though, because our military needs that. That's what concerns me about blowing up boats - we don't want that done to us, or to have it become commonplace. I just hope declaring emergencies when there are none to use extraordinary powers doesn't last. As a people, we can grant extraordinary powers during emergencies, but Trump does it on whim using trumped up prdetexts, and, as a Constitutional Democratic Republic, we need limitations to be respected. Miller and Project 2025 need to go by the wayside, but if there are useful parts to the Republic I haven't seen, point them out to me.
