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.

bighairymike: DOJ indifference to Hunters crimes is a separate and much bigger issue than Hunters scumbaggery.

What indifference? He was charged and pled guilty. And again, by Trump's hand-picked guy. You charge what you know you can prove in court. What, you got a "whistleblower" who insists that US Atty David Weiss was ham-strung (again, Weiss was appointed by Trump -- who praised him -- and hand-selected for case by AG Bill Barr, who expressed full confidence in Weiss and said Weiss handled it responsibly) even though Weiss has publicly stated that's a lie?

President Biden never questioned or challenged the case.

President Biden didn't fire Weiss or ask for his resignation (as is customary when administrations change).

AG Garland didn't interfere and gave Weiss full reign in any jurisdiction.

C'mon fellas', you're making my head hurt.
