    Mr D
    Clearly you gave it much thought and developed a cheaper plan of action.
    Good thinking:clap:

    The ladies clearly love LC, but never understood laying down hard earned money like that. Went with a group of friends many years ago. The ladies were attractive and friendly (of course), but the dudes, more than the girls, convinced me not my kinda place.

    Definitely not worth the cost. You hemorrhage money, and you leave with nothing unless you drop a fortune. (A friend of mine did this in Houston.) And that puts you at a real risk of getting a STD, getting thrown in the slammer, or both.

    Somebody could be an expert witness in cases involving strip clubs. I’m not pointing fingers.

    I could be an expert witness but I am not saying anything.

    Of course not. A real expert witness doesn't speak unless he's getting paid.

    Getting Trump back on Twitter is a must. Would like to see a host of people allowed back including Alex Jones.

    Would he ban anyone for saying "kill all Jews?" My friends in Iran are asking.

    Material that is legally obscene or defamatory should be censored. And that's pretty much it. That means Trump, Alex Jones, and others should be allowed to come back.

    So where do you stand on the porn post that Ted Cruz liked on 9/11? :)

    This illustrates the fraud that helped result in Biden's election. I have no time for the idea that the election was stolen at the polls. It was stolen by big tech and the media running interference for Biden:

    Jack Dorsey says banning Trump was a 'business decision' and agrees with Elon Musk that no one should be permanently banned from Twitter

    "Musk said during a live interview that he had spoken to Dorsey about permanent bans on Twitter. "He and I are of the same mind that permanent bans should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots or spam scam accounts," said Musk.

    Dorsey confirmed his agreement with Musk in a tweet. "There are exceptions (CSE [child sexual exploitation], illegal behaviour, spam or network manipulation, etc), but generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don't work," he said."

    Trump was banned 2 months after the election. His lies were there for all to see up to and after the election. Hell, the GOP would have probably won Georgia if he had been banned earlier.

    Two months after the 2020 election? If true, then I lost track of that. It seemed to me there was controversy about well before the election.

    If only they had squashed the Hunter Biden story two months after we would not be in the current **** show Joe has us in now.

    For all of you that don't believe in election fraud the fact that you're agreeing with Bubba should send warning signals to your brain. Just sayin'.:D

    Access Hollywood, Russian hacking and the Podesta emails: One year later | CNN Politics

    If only the GRU hadn't released John Podesta's emails about pizza 43 minutes after the tape aired of the serial sexual assaulter admitting to the almost exact sexual assault that 22 women have accused him of.

    3:30 EST the US blames Russia for DNC hacks. Approximately 4:00 the Access Hollywood tape is released. Then, shockingly, Wikileaks (GRU) releases the Podesta emails.

    It's great, especially if it's later in the summer! :)

    I honestly don't know that story. I would censor porn. The big thing is that I wouldn't censor political speech based on content or alleged accuracy. And I'd be consistent. I'd let Alex Jones back, but I wouldn't expel the conspiracy theorists and racists of the Left. I'd let Louis Farrakhan, Ibram X Kendi, Nikol Hannah-Jones, etc. stay even if they're spouting racism and/or conspiracy theories.

    It's amazing. Dorsey sounds a lot saner now that Musk is taking the place over.

    I think Jack and Elon are in lock step. Almost too much so. Tesla stock is doing poorly. The $1 billion bail out fee isn't looking so bad now.

    To be honest, the Tesla branding angle doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Tesla makes relatively expensive electric cars. I'm no marketing expert, but I assume that its customers are largely wealthy and environmentally conscious. That isn't a right-leaning demographic.

    I understand that Musk isn't a big right winger overall, but on the issues where he leans right (free speech), he's not only right but vocal and antagonistic about it. That means his brand is right wing even if that doesn't perfectly describe his beliefs. I would think that alienate many liberals who would otherwise be potential Tesla customers, and I don't see a lot of conservatives switching to electric cars just for Musk.

    Is this possibly a way to open up the market to try to crack into the demographic that buys Grand Wagoneer's and Suburban's? Like half of rich people?

    Lots of material-conscious buyers like Tesla too. They are business conservative folks.

    I suppose, but those people have so many other options to fill that void without switching to an electric car.

    Mr. Deez Beer Prophet

    Maybe, and I'm sure most of them would buy a Tesla before they'd buy a Prius, but it's hard to imagine them switching to an electric car unless they're pretty committed to the environmental cause, and that's going to be lefties.

    I suspect there are also those who are not so environmentally conscious (or only marginally so) but just want a car that’s high-tech and fun to drive. Press the pedal on a Tesla and that electric motor will blow your hair back like no other vehicle on the road.

    There are still millions upon millions of people without the infrastructure to "fill up" a Tesla. Blowing their hair back probably isn't going to convince them to drive what they cannot conveniently refuel.
