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.

here’s a fun story: there was apparently some kind of effort by Donny’s people to weed out the most-violent of the insurrectionists and deny them pardons. Team Donny brought all the paperwork into the Oval Office and sat down to hash it out — but Team Donny forgot all about the part where presidenting is hard and Dear Leader has the attention span of a coked-up squirrel. Donny spent about seventeen seconds listening to them talk, and then basically got bored.

it’s not like anyone couldn’t have seen this coming. Donny’s the guy who has to have his daily intel briefings boiled down to bullet points because he’s a dimwit who can’t sit still long enough to read an entire page of text. there was no fucking way he was ever going to evaluate fifteen hundred insurrectionists’ misdeeds on a case-by-case basis.

“fuck it, release ‘em all.”

too many voters conveniently forgot that Donny spent his entire first presidency making one disastrous seat-of-the-pants decision after another, because he can’t be bothered to do the work — and now they’ve sent him back to the Oval Office, to make all-new dumb-ass stumbles.

what, as I never tire of saying, could possibly go wrong?
