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.

you brainiacs will text the plans to The Atlantic.

Meanwhile, the braniac in chief, tries to walked back the "don't care" comment.

Trump says he ‘couldn’t care less’ about Iran peace: ‘Oil will be dropping like a rock’

He added that the long-running negotiations had “started to get very boring.”

He also told NBC News earlier in the day that the U.S. should “go silent” in the talks because “we have been talking too much.”

But hours later, he appeared to walk back his prior comments to the television networks by posting on Truth Social that the talks were ongoing and moving quickly.

Talks are continuing, at a rapid pace, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he said.

The president’s inexplicably contradictory comments came not long after Iran’s state-affiliated news agency Tasnim said that Iran's negotiating team would cease exchanging messages with the United States through mediators over attacks on Lebanon.

Trump also told CNBC he’d be speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for an update on “what’s going on with Lebanon” and later posted on Truth Social that the Israeli leader had assured him that “there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back.”


“I think the oil will be dropping like a rock in the very near, you know, the very near distance,” he said. before adding that he was in no hurry to resume negotiations with Tehran.

“If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time,” he said.

currently.att.yahoo.com - Trump says couldn t care

There is a stunning about of Trumpian BS in that article. I actually believe he was getting bored with Iran. He does seem to have the attention span of a gnat, given his long record of meandering drivel, passed off, by him, as "a weave". Trump said Israel will not occupy Beirut, and the troops on the way are being turned around. In the Israeli campaign, Bennett has been talking about expanding the ground war into Beirut. Maybe Trump can't tell the difference between Bennett and "Bibi", or "Bibi" responded to Bennett by also threatening to expand the war into Beirut. Makes no difference. "Bibi" is going to "Bibi", regardless what he tells Trump, or what Trump thinks "Bibi" said.
