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.

ges: So, can you give me a verifying link?

ABC News reported it, though soft-peddled the crazy:

Trump on Saturday described how all of his political advisers, except Steve Bannon, encouraged him to drop out of the 2016 race after the video surfaced. Trump claimed that an unnamed general told him the "locker room talk" explanation he gave was the "bravest thing I've ever seen" over witnessing people die on the battlefield.

Washington Press:

It’s a “sir” story! Trump says an anonymous general told him that, despite seeing soldiers fall on the battlefield, he’s never seen anyone act as bravely as Trump did when he joked about sexual assault.

Daily Beast:

But you know, the next day, or very shortly thereafter, we had the debate... I went onto that stage just a few days later, and a general, who’s a fantastic general, actually said to me, 'Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield, men have gone down on my left and on my right, I stood on hills where soldiers were killed, but I believe the bravest thing I've ever seen was the night you went onto that stage with Hillary Clinton after what happened, and then that woman asked you the first question about it, and [you] said ‘locker room talk.'"

There are multiple sources but what's sad is that it's not in headlines everywhere as it deserves to be because it's just so batchit crazy and disgusting.

But again, the media fails to point out how unfit Trump is for office.
