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.

yes, and trump also recently dropped the frivolous lawsuit against Judge Engoron, but won an appellate court delay for listing trump biz at risk.

for the most part, trump's (only viable) strategy to delay, divert and obfuscate HAS worked in every significant instance. this also increases his odds for dismissal on any mountain of potential future technicalities. his risk of any jailtime or full bankruptcy seems zero.

trump's legal strategy to throw any legal glop to see what sticks seems to be funded by an unlimited amount of MAGA and dark PAC donations. there has been no serious repercussions for any level of frivolity, influence, and threats (although he certainly keeps his mouth shut in court).
while the legal outcomes are uncertain, the PR benefits are immediate. there is nothing to indicate this cannot go on forever, with the support of 90% of 'conservatives' and ~30% of the country backing it.
