The tone and tenor of your articles sets the precedent for the tone and candor of the comments section. Specifically regarding the Beast, the cheap shots taken at Trump throughout the post set the stage for the shitshow of vitriol that follows. An opportunity to talk about past limos, tech in the existing limo, or a simple straightforward news blurb about the status of the new machine under development became burried in the need to rehash the same tired and rehashed jokes.

But Trump will turn America into the 4th Reich if we don’t call him a Cheeto every chance we get!

Holy Hell. THANK YOU! Been getting real tired of Jalopnik’s shit lately. To the point to where I rarely even check it, preferring to stay on Oppo and read about glorious clunker rebuilding all day long.

Really? You’re mad about them saying “sad” and “re-painted gold” ?

Truly sad.

I get it if the political sub-pages want to get political, but Jalopnik should remain car- and transportation-centric.

We must joke about Trump whenever possible, because he is a joke, the rest of the world thinks he is a joke and it is our moral duty as thinking sensible individuals to make fun of his ridiculous face whenever possible.

Good luck trying to remove transportation and the automobile from politics. It’s pretty much impossible.

While I totally agree with the sentiment of their comments, an article about the Presidential Limo isn’t really the place for it. Leave that to the political leaning Kinja sites.

In short, Yes, I agree.

I think one of those may have been Al Capone’s car and another one might not be a limousine at all.

They should have compared him to Donald Trump. That would’ve put him off.

There might be a bit of truth to that... He was able to control information very well.

Sorry you feel that way but why read Jalopnik then? Just imagine some random guy going on coalrolling.com (imaginery website name, but you see my point) and complaining about the anti-obama tone of the website... Stupid, right?? Well, same here. You know that gawker media is and has always been seriously leaning on the left side of the political spectrum. So I don’t see why you complain about it... There are other website that are a lot more neutral or lean conservative if that’s what you want...

I despise Trump, but I wish people would stop bringing him up in stories that aren’t even about him. Every time I read his name or see his face I’m reminded of what America inexplicably decided to do to itself.

That said the jokes on FP today were subtle enough (didn’t even say his name) that I’m fine with them.
