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.

Bill Barr, who spent the better part of the past year telling anyone who'd interview him that Trump should never be anywhere near the Oval Office again, told Kaitlan Collins he will vote for Trump in 2024 (yeah, I have no idea why she's interviewing Barr, either).

Collins presses Barr:

COLLINS: "Just to be clear, you're voting for someone who you believe tried to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, that can’t even achieve his own policies, that lied about the election even after his own attorney general told him the election wasn't stolen, and, as the former chief law enforcement in this country, you're going to vote for someone who's facing 88 criminal counts..."

BARR: Oh, look, the 88 criminal counts, a lot of those are, and I've said --"

COLLINS: "Even if 10 of them are accurate?"

BARR: Pause. "The answer to your question is yes."

Collins goes on to press Barr further about his support, asking Barr to "name one thing that Biden has done" that is worse than trying to subvert the peaceful transfer of power and overturn a free and fair election.

BARR: "I think his whole administration is a disaster for the country."

COLLINS: Is worse than subverting the peaceful transfer of power?

BARR: Did he succeed?

Wait wut?

The former chief law enforcement officer of the United States said, "no harm, no foul"?

"Your honor, my client tried to rob that bank and tried to shoot one of the cashiers but succeeded at nether crime... therefore, according to the former attorney general of the United States, no charges are warranted."

Barr then went on to tell Collins that the president, on multiple occasions, had wanted to execute individuals who angered him.

Wait wut, again?

Barr said it wasn't a problem though because they were always able to talk him out of actually executing anyone.

Huh.

Now that I think about it, maybe Noem is the perfect running mate for Orange Jesus.
