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.

...and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile's pushed back Russian sanctions day looks like it'll be pushed back yet again. He doesn't want to make his boyfriend mad, especially when they're about to be dancing cheek to cheek.

Bloomberg is reporting that Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile is about to propose that his loverboy accept a peace proposal that would allow Russia to take over the entirety of the Donetsk region and force Ukraine to surrender the unoccupied portion. All territory currently occupied by Russia would remain under Russian control.

Huh.

And I was assured that Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile was going to get tough on Russia.

Pfffft.

It's not clear whether Russia would have to return any territory or hand over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The agreement would reportedly present Ukraine and Europe with a take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum.

Of course, this take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum would destroy Ukraine, would amount to a surrender by the United States, and would render the United States toothless in the face of future Russian aggression in the region.

In addition, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians living in the unoccupied portion of the Donetsk region and would need to be evacuated.

Bloomberg also suggests that Ukraine would be required to hand over its heavily fortified defensive lines.

Well, we'll see. Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile and his BFF are supposedly meeting next week to carve Ukraine into pieces and make it that much easier for Russia to invade in the future.

Republicans will applaud this heroic action and demand His Orangeness get two or three Nobel Peace Prizes.
