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.

All this nonsense about an "illegal alien" crime wave is especially hilarious today as Mad King Donald, without explanation, illegally refuses to release $7 billion in congressionally allocated funding for schools.

The Trump administration has declined to release nearly $7 billion in federal funding that helps pay for after-school and summer programs, support for students learning English, teacher training and other services.

The money was expected to be released by Tuesday. But in an email on Monday, the Education Department notified state education agencies that the money would not be available.


This is lawlessness. Republicans who believe in the rule of law should be enraged but we all know cruelty is the new republican mantra as 20 percent of all students in after-school programs nationally are left without their programs. After-school programs, now unfunded, are being cancelled and many rural parents who relied on those programs to care for their children while they were at work have been informed they need to make backup plans, though few exist in their communities.

Kind of makes one wonder why Congress is even bothering with a budget when Mad King Donald has decided that he is literally the King of America and he and his minions may do as they please with our tax dollars regardless of how they were approved, allocated, and legally disbursed by Congress.

No doubt when the day comes that a democratic president sits in the White House, republicans will find this kingly behavior perfectly fine.

Wait, what is it that the dopey guy like to say all the time?

Oh yeah: bwahahahahahahahaha.
