Title: Jeep may become Chinese owned.
Post by: Payman on August 21, 2017, 09:31:27 AM
There's some irony in a communist country potentially owning the iconic Jeep brand...

Can FCA really afford to not have Jeep?  That's the brand that's keeping the lights on.

Yeah, wouldn't make any sense to sell it.

It's all about the money.  Sergio and other investors wants to get as much money as they can and him being Italian/Canadian, he doesn't care about the patriotic sentiments of Americans.  Let GM buy it but show him the money.  I'm sure RAM will go to the highest bidder as well.

Man, if Trump came out as gay, so many god damned heads would explode I'd become a millionaire selling mops and Lysol.

I think at least 25-30% of the population would simply assume that him being gay is proof of how awesome he is. He is so godlike that both men and women are attracted to him! Total bauce.

Remember the South Park episode where all the xenophobic "DEY TOOK ER JERBS" guys made a huge gay orgy pile?

I think it would actually be a good thing. One, I think it would be a huge sigh of relief for his supporters. A lot of that rage has to come from somewhere.

I also think it would make for great entertainment. He could host his own version of the Bachelor.

Truthfully though, I think he is too stupid to be gay.
