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.

Trump's only hope is to get elected to save himself. Unfortunately, that seems a possibility. The campaign strategy is create enemies to rally against and create fear to motivate voters. Trump getting reelected would lead to disaster, maybe worse than the COVID pandemic. He can't pardon himself from the state crimes, but SCOTUS would probably rescue him. Chaos every day with an inept President. (Trump is rated Last or Next to Last among 46 US Presidents in: Background, Integrity, Intelligence, Executive Appointments, Foreign Policy accomplishments, Ability to compromise, Executive ability, and Present overall view.)

In Georgia, Trump abandons subtlety, urges witness not to testify, Aug. 14, 2023
Trump's fear of charges in Georgia has led to a new step: The former president is now explicitly urging a relevant Republican witness not to testify...

As New York magazine's Jon Chait summarized this morning, 'What can certainly be ascertained, without any legal training, is that this is not the behavior of an innocent man.'

After Trump's indictment in Georgia, state law will require a judge to agree that the criminal defendant 'poses no significant risk of intimidating witnesses.' Watch this space.
msnbc.com - Georgia trump abandons subtlety urges witness not testify

"I am reading reports that failed former Lt. Governor of Georgia, Jeff Duncan, will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn't. I barely know him but he was, right from the beginning of this Witch Hunt, a nasty disaster for those looking into the Election Fraud that took place in Georgia. He refused having a Special Session to find out what went on, became very unpopular with Republicans (I refused to endorse him!), and fought the TRUTH all the way. A loser, he went to FNCNN!"
