You just began a thread about our favorite conservative celebrities/icons. Congratulations. Here are two of mine. I reserve the right to add to this thread.

How did you react to electricity?

The bill in his suit pocket is at least tidy looking, the bill spilling out above his button is sloppy, but the bill propped on top of his right ear... That’s the one that gets me. That’s the one that says I manipulated the favorable tax-treatment of debt in order to fuck American companies and American workers. …

Oh, are you garish old money or garish new money?

Please do a pictorial history of Republican trust fund progeny. This reminds me of those gross pictures of Mitt with cash spilling out of his pockets, and all of those white-nosed mugshots of W.

The cost of researching and engineering these things seems over your head. The real question is can/should the Model X be reviewed without mentioning the purpose of the vehicle?

“I improved my liquidity by recruiting and protecting rapists for my entire career, and so can you!” - Bobby Bowden, lamenting cultural decline while also making a buck

Even the article’s headline is misleading, sensationalist bull shit. “Elon Musk’s Self-Driving Cars” They know the precise dishonest (and borderline dangerous) misstatement that their headline is making, but they do it anyway.

“Para Adrien Gonzales, oprima ‘Uno.’”

You make lots of good points.

Was Franklin Pierce reallllly that bad?

I feel like we are all taught about Tammany Hall as some sort of historical outlier though, which kinda begs the question. Is the current state of corruption more anomalous (like Tammany Hall) or more the norm throughout our history? I think I read you to be saying that America has always been this way. I don’t …
