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.

Longest stretch of <4% unemployment since Nixon's first year in office. That's right: we haven't had that spirit here since 1969

Me: Good run.

My guess: Trump may have someone like Elon Musk co-signing the Chubb bond, so the bank is comfortable being on the hook for the judgment. Same could happen for the bond for the AG $450M judgment.

Joyce Alene@JoyceWhiteVance
This is an important point. Trump is beholden to someone & we don't know who. Reporters should ask him to explain all of the details. GOP leaders should, but probably won't be, especially concerned. x.com/aweissmann_/st…

George Conway @gtconway3d
“The decision leaves open the question of whether Congress could refuse to count electoral votes for Trump if it determines he committed insurrection …. It’s also unclear whether the Supreme Court can intervene in the unlikely event that that happens.”

Griff Witte@griffwitte
The Supreme Court's ruling in the Trump ballot case resolved an urgent question: whether he could run. But the justices also unleashed new uncertainties that could confront Congress and the courts after the November election. Via @patrickdmarley

George Conway @gtconway3d
“Prosecutors in Georgia, Michigan and Nevada have brought charges against pro-Trump electors. The investigation in Arizona could present another layer of legal peril for Republicans in this politically competitive state, which Trump lost by about 11,000 votes in 2020.”

NEW: Arizona’s Trump electors subpoenaed in grand jury investigation Via @yvonnewingett + @jdawsey1 https://wapo.st/3PfgHqD

Me: Slowly the wheel turns
