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.

My 2 bits. No matter what it was going to look bad, that is why Obama was reticent. Then you have Trump negotiate it , and Steve Miller plants obstruction on getting the visas prepped, etc. We destroyed plenty as we left Vietnam. My father planned the medical evacuation of Vietnam, then had a hart attack and ended up at Fitzsimons.

Trump negotiated that badly, and left Biden with a bad timetable, poor terms, and sabotaged his own country by planting obstructions.Still, we planned on getting 40,000 out and got 120,000 out. I will always think of Trump as a traitor. For that and Jan 6. Jan 6 is so embarrassing the right has to create false narratives or recognize they were on a traitorous path, led by a traitor.

So what he have before us is how to get past Trump executing Project 2025 because he has already shown us he doesn't care about us or the MAGAts. He'll pardon everyone involved on Jan 6 when elected, but we need to blunt his ability to implement P25 and I'm not even sure having the House or Senate will do that.
