I've seen it with him several times. I was skeptical at first too. It like they see him as being of a higher class that they resent or that his accent makes him come across as looking down on them. He's extremely well spoken and educated so of course when we're at a bar and a regular guy from the city comes up to us or plays pool with us they immediately put up a wall. It's funny. Even when we're slumming it n jeans and casual shirts uber drivers give him shit. Hell, I watched him about get in a fight over something one time and the N word was tossed around quite a bit on both sides. I actually laughed because it was like watching a cat-fight among women.

it's not BS, but we can't in 2018 just leave the borders wide open and keep taking in at the expense of those that are already here. it is still true but again, you can't save everyone in the water at the expense of those in the boat. and for a third time, in one respect it has to be that way. it doesn't negate hard work, just a matter of when that hard work occurs and how much assistance is needed. we still take in plenty of people but to ignore the financial impacts is plain irresponsible. and a border-less society where we put strains on our system and put undue hardships on our own people for the sake of helping numbers beyond what we should is not a society I want to live in. there's nothing wrong with responsible and safe immigration. other countries do it and for good reason.

Yes and no. First, he wasn't some dirt-bag poor immigrant with no found history or taken in as a stray cat. He applied the legit way and when vetted, which he noted was a several year process involving interviews, he was able to show that he and his family were citizens of South Africa in good standing and able to carry their own. His father is a doctor and his mother was a school teacher. He came from a middle class family not a homeless shelter that would require they live off gov't assistance. Not a slam on the latter family mind you but their situation is a factor that I believe we need to consider. We aren't country of cat-ladies taking in every single stray we find only to live among a pile of cat shit. We have to be selective as it's the responsible thing to do. The key is also these are HIS VIEWS TOO. So as an immigrant like he was, yes, he too supports changing our immigration system. Nothing pisses him off more than to see our country take in a bunch of trashy Somalians or others only to let them set a bad example vs someone like him. The former ruin it for the good ones and that's our fault for permitting it through poor practices. Ironically it's also funny to hear him talk about how he as a True African, is treated differently by the black community. Especially the poor. I've actually witnessed it first-hand as we travel together and he is indeed looked upon differently. It's like they snub him as soon as they hear his accent. The ironic part is when they reference African American's when in fact he is truely an African American.

I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to know what specifically he was referencing. The people from these places that are shit holes know it too. Just the same if you're not from a shit hole area of Africa you know that too. Stop playing games with words and statements. It's time everyone get-real and face the truth where it's applicable. The US has plenty of shit hole areas and others can feel free to the US is a shit-hole too. 1. We know that's not true, 2. We also know Gary, IN and the South-side of Chicago are the types of areas that are shit holes and that even the people there know it and the rest of us know our areas aren't. To get bent over such a statement and to willingly separate context is childish. On the other side of the world, I was just in Haiti at the end of last year on a mission building homes with about 30 others I know in the group and the place is a hole, has been and the people there know it too. Lots of great people there and it's sad, but the same is true of our own country and many of our people. I'd love to save the world, but we can't. It's not wrong to accept that and move on. It's actually the responsible thing to do. We have to take care of our own first and slow down the rate of which we are contributing elsewhere until we have our own house in order. How about we don't take in the dirt-bags so many are defending? It's pretty easy to recognize and ferret out trash and the ones in the middle need to be vetted well. We can help some of them but not all of them. Again, stop playing games and recognize that it's time to focus on America first. Same holds true in our personal lives. The wife and I do a lot for others but we know the line is drawn at the point of which you don't jeopardize or hurt your own family when doing so. True. One of my best friends who ironically is black, a Muslim and has a very Muslim name, came here alone at age 15 with just handful of money and couldn't afford to come with his family. He lived in a shelter but worked from day 1 and made it through our system to where he is today he is a very successful person in the medical industry, living in a very nice house with an American wife and kids and is a proud Trump supporter. He came in the right way and brought over plenty of Merit. His family hasn't made their way here and he knows he's fortunate to have. We aren't in the same position today as we were back when these "ancestors" including mine, were making their way to our shores. Times are different and the entire world is different. Yes, I support changing the way our immigration policy functions. Our systems are taxed already and it's time to lower the water pressure those systems can catch up.

Not really. He never called South Africa a shit hole country and Musk is far from being a boat person from Somalia that lives along Karl Rd. He's well educated, comes from an educated family and came to the US as a Canadian Citizen with even more education. He had of the merit that Trump is stating we need to look for in people. Same with Steve Jobs who's biological father was well educated and wealthy prior to coming here.

haha! Never realized how long the Mark V was. My father had Mark III and V and I remember when he had to "notch" the wall in the garage to make room for the bumper. Crazy. When he got is V he said it was because the garage was already made for it

I think the FBI's own people have done that for themselves. The love-birds text messages are interesting. They should just release all those to the public vs some memos.

There's a Yacht size themed plate in the future just based on size. As big as it is though, the garage doesn't look tight at all.

I think my car would fit in the back of that beast. I like Doug's reviews.

I said the same thing when shopping for the CUV for my wife and even when I looked at the sedans. The whole "black label" marketing is nice and the quality is definitely on par with MBZ, Audi and other higher end makes.

I'll be test driving the new QX50 once they hit the lots. Will be interesting to see how it fairs. Sent from my Galaxy Note 8 using Tapatalk

Cool cars It was good. Worth the price.

that's because we already knew there were shenanigans going on at the FBI and Justice Dept. from way back when Billy boy had his tarmac conversation and even before that. pretty sad really. may have to re-watch Snowdan again this weekend. Motherfucker wasn't wrong.

I thought it was good. Solid, well written speech and he did a better job of reading from a prompter. I think I can count two occasions where he's clearly practiced and done that well. Not that it matters but it's a point I noticed. Overall I continue to agree with his agenda still shake my head at Pelosi and others who spent the night sucking on their dentures or sitting in protest or simply walking out. The same fuck-sticks that call for him to unify the nation walk out when they don't like him talking about standing for the flag, honoring our heros, defending our nation or in general looking out for America and it's citizens vs the rest of the world and those that are out to harm us.

Haven’t ruled out the Koreans but with the van it was $9k lower in price than the competition. SUV wise they aren’t as far apart. More to come. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro -
hasn't seemed to stop anyone on their side from leaking information so why not just let it all come out through process. McCabe is stepping down so that tells me the "insurance policy" discussion and details aren't just bullshit.

The classified portions or sensitive info can easily be redacted.

My 14 year old son is the fastest white kid on his track team and he's only 5ft 6in right now. Don't sell yourself short. The second half of that race will be telling.

I think you should both hand over your keys and race down the track on foot. Both ways so we get a quarter mile and half mile time.

because fuck-stick Obama. right or wrong many of us despise that twat. I'm okay with some of the removal of these things just to erase him from our lives. they're the ones pushing to release the FBI Memo regarding the warrant and spying on Trump. the Dems are mainly the ones leading the way at blocking it's release to the public. them and a few swamp member republicans who don't want the people to see how the sausage is being made.

:lol: You win the internet for today.

I'll call myself out just to show up. If I can get the new daily to pull down mid to low 12's I'll be happy. It's what other guys seem to be running anyway. Hopefully I don't have any mandatory travels that week. When is the first track day?

I Like 250's. I agree with you on that color too. The FX30 Infiniti is the same vehicle just loaned to the Japanese. The 2.0t and Dual Clutch make it a sporty fun little ride too. Damn infiniti for not using a Dual Clutch in my car. The downside is it's a bit smaller than we are looking for. We looked yesterday just window shopping and the Edge, RDX and Murano, etc. are about the size she wants. I call them mid-size CUV's vs small. I still want her to drive the Highlander to see how it drives. -
