Elon Musk needs his own thread because he's in every damn thing/positive Elon Musk

"We will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them on the seas and oceans, we will fight them with growing confidence and growing strength, but the 11:35 from Maidenhead to London Victoria is running 25 minutes late."

Elon posted this. Nothing too see here folks.

 

Hey. . . What the hell? Do you have any idea how hard it is for rich people to have their voices heard? Especially when people like you criticize him for silencing others in order to let his voice be heard? Next thing you know you’ll be calling for the fascist regime to make him pay taxes or something borderline genocidal like that.

Geez. Jenks comes in here and speaks on behalf of The Most Oppressed Man On Earth (with the possible exception of his Lord and Savior Donald Trump) and you mercilessly attack him with a coherent argument? Why are you against freedom of speech?

 

Covid? Jesus Christ!

 

Covid and Q.

 

I turned it off when she got to March 2020, not even 2 minutes in.

 

For all of Churchill's many faults where would we be now if not for him!

 

Dork MAGA memes all over the place

Can't imagine this being a very popular costume

 

TBF there are quite a few people on the left, (so they think), that are confused that people can be contradictions.

McDonnell's answer should have been that people, (including figures from history), can be both good AND bad and it's important to recognise both aspects. Churchill didn't give two shots about ordinary people whether they were miners in Wales or Bengalis in India, (although the story behind both is probably more nuanced than the childish simplistic 'hero or villain' call would allow). But it's unarguable that his brand of bullheaded determination not to give in to Hitler was EXACTLY what was needed in WWII.

Now that you mention it…yes…yes it does.

 

You can always wait and catch the 4:50 to Paddington.

 

Yep I meant to put Paddington. But maybe trains ran from Maidenhead to Victoria during the war.

 

Exactly. A nice guy in charge wouldn't have had the same outcome - you need a hard nosed bastard when your back's up against the wall.
People at the time recognised this, thanked him immensely, and then voted him out at the first opportunity.

 

Take the ferry instead.

 

Although 6 years later the UK decided that a senile alcoholic was better than a planned economy.

Haven't they heard of a liberal calling something "problematic"?

 

Although more people voted Labour than Conservative at that election.

 

Good point. Also Labour's highest ever % of the vote.

 

Was it Churchill who was responsible for one of the greatest quotes of all time, or am I thinking of someone else?

Woman: "If you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."
Churchill: "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."

 

He may well have said it, but it's not originally his. It's attributed to him in a book, and he was talking to Nancy Astor, but there's evidence of it first being used in the late 19th century before they ever met.

 

Bravo @Hot_Takes10!

This made me snort laugh.

That's attributed to Churchill because it's the type of thing he would have said.

What he did say to either Lady Astor or socialist MP Bessie Braddock after being accused of being 'disgustingly drunk', was 'my dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly but tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.'l

The poison quote has been attributed to Churchill's buddy Lord Birkenhead.
