I saw this Jaguar tweet in my X feed last night, and in one of the replies, a guy said he was supposed to take delivery of a new Jag in the next few days, and was seriously considering cancelling his order over this ad campaign.
Did Jaguar (and its idiotic Marketing Dept) not learn ANYTHING from Bud Light, Target, et al? What sort of target audience are they attempting to reach? When you don't even put a car in a car ad, what exactly are you advertising? I don't have a Marketing degree (surely one of the most worthless degrees one can receive) but what will the average person seeing this ad think - 'Wow, I really want to go out and cross dress with a bunch of weirdos' or 'Man, Jaguars are the bomb and I can't wait to buy one!'? When your ad has run and the audience still doesn't know what you're promoting, you've done a piss poor job.
This will indeed be a fascinating case study. I'm at least 2-3 years away from needing to purchase a new vehicle. I've generally liked Jaguar cars but never really had the conviction to go out and buy one. I sure as hell won't be buying one now.

This is as good of a 24 hour melt as you will ever see.








He came back to x after he said he was done with them:





Then, back to blue
































🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣


I'll be the first to admit I'm not all that tech-savvy or hip to the latest trends, but is it me or did it seem like this Blue Sky social media site came out of nowhere since the election? A brief perusal of that site suggests that a lot of crybaby liberals have taken their ball and run over there.
 
@tommyg4uk Gaetz had to have cut a deal to get Rubio’s seat, correct?

MG will get his seat back for the next Congress. He resigned from THIS congress.
I remember reading an article about 3-4 years ago that his goal was to be Gov of Florida. Maybe he's angling now to run in a couple of years when DeSantis steps down. I guess his Dad has been in the Florida House/Senate for years and is now (I think) Pres of the Florida Senate.
 
It is conservative to not punish someone for something weren't capable of doing on their own.

Your earlier example referred a 15 who came in with their parents, now 30 with kids here.

Sorry, guy, but when I was 15, if my mom was sneaking me over the border, I knew EXACTLY what was going on, not some innocent babe in the woods bullshit.

Again, YOUR example.
 
Well, damn. Not that I care one iota about Gaetz, I'm just sad we won't get to watch the Village Idiot cry the whole time.

Well, my guess is he'll move on to Pete Hegseth next.

Bank it, boys.
I'm just as concerned about pro Putin Gabbard too. She and Trump will probably be handing over Ukraine on a silver platter to Putin. Loving it that Biden is flipping off Putin before leaving office.
Putin says he doesn't want NATO troops on his border so he attacks Ukraine in order to put Russian and North Korean troops on his border with NATO. Makes great sense if you're insane.
It's total BS.
Then Putin whines that NATO is supplying Ukraine with weapons as he uses Iranian drones, North Korean troops, and Chinese electronics.
It's total BS.
And you fools think there is less chance of a world war by handing over Ukraine to a bloodthirsty dictator who wants to put thousands of Russian and North Korean soldiers right on the NATO border.
Dumb as F**K.
Biden was right all along.

My God, not only are you a complete idiot, you're f*cking insane. I mean that.

You're f*cking insane.

Which NATO border?

The border of Ukraine? They aren't in NATO, you stupid ass. Why do you keep saying NATO?

Yeah, because how we treat a symbol is obviously more important than how we treat people...

Duh, nationalism is stupid. Why support only people between certain arbitrary lines, rather than all people?

"Foreigners" are people exactly like Americans. We're all the same humans, no matter the accidents of our births. Being for all is being for Americans, as they're included in that all.
Problem is that you need a symbol that shows who you are as a people so those that want to be a part of it can identify with it and join. Not all people and or governments have the best intentions which is why we have so many problems now. We don't want your problems/criminals, we want those who wish to be Americans and work for the privilege to be one. That means show me your intentions are honorable by coming in the legal way. Coming in illegally show you have no respect for the system you are saying you want to be a part of.

Your post is disingenuous because you leave out the obvious, you cannot treat all people the same because we are not the same. If your intent is negative and contrary to ours, you should be treated accordingly. You want to be here, throw away your support for that which you were running from (quit waving your flag) and embrace our way of life.

So, Blue Sky is a spin off of Twitter. Had never heard of it either. Guess it was an independent company otherwise Elon would have made sure they wouldn't compete/inhibit 'X'

'Bluesky, a Twitter-like social network championed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has emerged from its cocoon and is now allowing anyone to create an account and join the service.
Until Tuesday, anyone hoping to join Bluesky needed an invitation, which typically meant hunting down an existing member and begging for an invite. That invite-only period gave the site time to build out moderation tools and other features, Bluesky said'
 
No I understand it I just HATE your writing style so I speed read thru it like a mercy kill. My brain can't handle too much
Again, you don't have to keep reiterating what I just said. I already said it. Those of us capable of reading already read it.
 
You are not worth more because you were lucky enough to be born an American than someone who had the misfortune of being born in North Korea.

Your statement is ignorant because of your relevance to "worth" which doesn't apply to the human race (at least legally) Circumstances do apply, as well as good fortune, the privilege of knowing Christ, etc.

NK people are quite often in the same boat as many here....they either love their country or hate it. Their values often mirror ours in respect to their opportunities. That is their way of life and the one they have chosen to remain in.

Try again.
 
To be pedantic, it was probably a different type of medium-range missile, not an ICBM. Matters none at all for the substance, just technical accuracy.

Reported as an ICBM, just not nuclear armed.

The next one might be.

The point is, who in the world is rooting for WW3, and the possible annihilation of humanity?

The Village Idiot.
 


Mouthpiece media would have no problem calling for your murder/enslavement if directed to do so.
I check so many boxes against what the left stands for it is no wonder why they hate people like me and consider me a danger to democracy.

Straight white male.
Married to a woman.
Christian family man.
American Flag waver.
Military Vet.
Gun owner
Anti-vax (did not take it)
Republican (goes without posting but...)

I guess I can understand the libs/commies/socialist and fake independents that post here. I would be afraid of me too if I wasn't so bad. I am the only one of those mentioned that would be able challenge me. ;) :p

I think he means that if Putin takes significantly more chunks of Ukraine, that he will have troops on the borders of more NATO countries than he has now- Finland, Estonia, Lith, Latvia, Poland. JMT.

Sports are symbolic. Literal gladiatorial games that're a direct sublimation of our primal urges for violence, competition, and tribalism. We make a joke out of hating Tennessee fans so that we don't end up actually truly hating border rivals. Look at the Balkans. We went from the Toledo War to The Game. You're using allegory to describe realpolitik. Human life on our planet is much more complicated than 'Us good, Them bad!' If it weren't we'd just nuke them all and make the whole planet America. Your worldview is infantile.
False equivalent

I had a Jaguar from 2002-2008. Brand new. Had the leaping cat hood ornament, British Racing Green, made in Coventry. Pretty sweet.

Wouldn’t even think of buying one now, even before this idiotic ad. I don’t even think they are made in the UK anymore. Think it’s India . Could be wrong.
 
Yet another Mitch win for Trump before he gives up leadership:

" Senate Democrats and Republicans struck a late-night deal on judicial votes and confirmations on Wednesday, securing the ability for President-elect Trump to appoint four crucial appellate court judges in his second administration.

As Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., attempts to push through as many President Biden judicial picks as possible, Republicans in the upper chamber (Read Mitch McConnell) have worked to delay the process by using procedural floor maneuvers, causing several late nights.

Around midnight on Wednesday, the parties came to an agreement which would allow Democrats to hold votes on four district court judges in exchange for pulling four higher tier circuit court judicial nominees, a senior Senate source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital."

Let's hear three cheers for the great Mitch !!

Of course he knew what was going on - obeying his parents whose judgment he respects. The kid is supposed to stay behind while his parents take off? Right.

Bull. Almost all North Koreans would choose an American lifestyle over their current one if they could. Because it's objectively, materially easier. They aren't intentionally choosing abject poverty because they're ideologically committed to Juche. They lack the knowledge, education, and context about the rest of the world to make an informed decision. That isn't their fault, they don't somehow deserve their fate just because they happen to be living under it.
