He is good friends with Bush (Who is a Liar) and probably thinks persons of color are not equal to persons of no color and that is why he is doing these stooped things with Putin to make Michelle and Presdent obama look bad.

Michelle's hair in the bun looked very thin. I'm pretty sure that's her own hair. Which means the full bouncy hair she's always sporting is also her hair, but of a different type. (I mean, if you pay for a weave or wig, it's yours, right? )

He just did a successful top 40 hit with Kanye and Rihanna...maybe they are hoping by booking him the other two show up? But yeah, otherwise an eyebrow raising choice.

Shouldn't be hard.
Many high end vehicles now use the vehicles entertainment system to alter the perceived sound of the exhaust to the driver.

It's sort of like hair weaves.

exactly. You'll get more mileage smashing yourself in the face with a hammer before you'll make ground with a logical argument with a liberal.

You can't win a debate when you are coming from cogent, steel-cold logic and they're approaching it from warm fuzzy fantasy emotion land.

So don't bother.

Just find new and ever-more-fun ways to make them uncomfortable without them knowing you did it. it's a true art form.

Example: when a known lib walks up, just to a quick "sniff" of the air and that little facial expression like you just smelled dog shit. Then act perfectly normal. Their subconscious will pick it up and it will haunt them.

Posted by: wrg500

Anyone else remember the poor woman who went into a bank in N California, and was taken hostage by robbers? She was shot ten times. All by the cops.

Imagine the carnage when police attempt to take control, remotely, of cars in motion. They can't serve warrants without shooting the shit out of dogs, problems that the USPS, UPS, FedEx don't seem to have, can't or won't enforce fire discipline and condone everything from shooting repeatedly at two asian women thinking that they're one black guy, to half-assed SWAT raids.

Mistakes will be made, innocent people will die and be maimed, and criminals injured will get standing to sue.

That day might be now. Already many cars use Blue Tooth to connect to the engine computer for diagnostics and to change parameters. They don't use passwords or any other form of security. I don't know about steering and brakes but it ought to be possible to use an overpowered Blue Tooth transmitter with a directional antenna to tell your engine to go as fast as possible while you try to steer without hitting anything or flipping over.
