Yawn.


I honestly think you have a crush on Putin the way you shoe horn him into EVERY topic.

We are all aware of Russia bad reputation with dealing with the press. Doesnt excuse or have bareing at all on Turkey current press shenanigans.

All bringing putin up is , is a off topic defection.

Discuss the point I am making please. All these dodgy dealing like the pick up truck seem to always end up linked at some point to turkey and the journalists who have gone over there to investigate have been meeting unfortunate ends.

Remember Putin for once is NOT the topic.

Great advertisement for his company and a bonus if he wins any monies from the lawsuit. All he had to do was change his phone number. Besides, good luck to ISIS invading Texas to try and make good on any threats to him.

---

I would be FAR MORE CONCERNED about the BASIC INTELLIGENCE
of the people making the threats to this plumber who THINK that
a Texas Plumber might have ANYTHING at all to do with ISIS simply
because a vehicle has an OBVIOUS advertisement on it!

This issue is very much like the situation of the woman on Facebook
who had the Ethnic first name of Isis which just happens to refer to
the Egyptian Goddess of Fertility rather than any given militant group
whose name is an ACRONYM (ISIS = Islamic State in Iraq and Syria)!

Even AFTER Facebook disabled and re-enabled her account and
apologized for the snafu, she STILL kept getting threats from
basic idiots who keep thinking her name has SOMETHING to do
with a FOREIGN militant group!

This just gives me MORE PAUSE to think that in reality MANY PEOPLE
are just plain IDIOTS and Unintelligent Dolts rather than thinking and
comprehending human beings! I nod my head in DEEP SHAME at the
sheer stupidity of many --- Oh how we must look to extra-terrestrials!
No wonder they stay away or hide themselves! What intelligent
interstellar-capable species would want to deal with a planet full
of doltish, brutish trolls?

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE ?! What does a Texas plumber have
to do with a FOREIGN MILITANT GROUP? Think About It!
Would it NOT be obvious that a truck located in Syria (of all countries!)
with a Texas phone number peeling off of its side walls be LIKELY
TO BE CURRENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED by a Texas Plumber --- PROBABLY NOT!

Has anyone noticed the scenery does not appear to be foreign soil to me

The only question here is how the # does a truck from Texas end up in Syria being used by ISIS. I'm sure there will be the usual suspects along soon to say "it's quite normal for trucks to be sold to blah blah blah".

It is very normal for older trade ins to be sold out side the US.

Dealers don't want them in the US as it cuts into there sales so they sell them to companies that take them out of the US some times by the ship load as ballast.

Most of these cars are gross polluters that the dealers don't want to spend the time/money to repair.
