Well, those vehicles are produced in the US.
In order to be able to ship them to other parts of the world they'd need to be transported on US roads at some point. No big deal.

I was going to book my holiday to Turkey this summer.
Glad I decided against it.

We are going on holiday to Rhodes, close to the Turkey border next month so it was quite concerning when I saw this news last night.
I know families that have been to Turkey on holiday in the last year, but I don't think I'd risk it myself.
I feel sorry for the businesses in the tourist resorts in Egypt, Tunisia and now possibly Turkey that are losing their livelihoods because of these troubles.

We need to coup our government if Hillary is elected. We need to get rid of the political elites that think they're above the law. Also, taxation is theft. It's completely ridiculous that people have to give up almost half their income to the Feds. Anything over 20% is just way too much. I'm not saying I'm pro Trump, but he is the lesser of two evils and I will vote for him to give Hillary one less vote. Not that voting matters anymore, our system is so corrupt even if Trump wins the popular vote and the electoral votes, Hillary will win the election. Who knows, maybe Trump is just as corrupt, but I'm trying to be optimistic.

I am not a pro-Hillary person but at least she pays taxes ;)
Trump refuses to disclose and years ago the returns showed he paid no taxes. All this while using bankruptcy laws to escape bad investments.

Whether its Turkey, Egypt or the United States. NEVER overturn the will of the people. Yes sometimes they make stupid mistakes...just look at George Bush followed by Obama. But democracy must be upheld.
When democrats won the popular vote in 2000. They rolled over and played dead. If Obama lost the popular vote in 2012 but still won the presidency there still would be riots in the streets.

That's another thing that worries me, if Trump wins, there is a good chance that all the close minded hateful liberals will start riots. I definitely see groups like black lives matter starting riots. The odds of Trump winning are unfortunately small because our system is very corrupt and Hillary supporters are ignorant.

You don't believe Trump is on this? Hillary is probably the most establishment person ever to run for president. She has been in government for over a quarter century with various roles. Trump was a huge Hillary supporter. 2 days before announcing Trump calls Bill Clinton. Trump then runs the most unconventional campaign ever bringing out the worst in GOP voters and destroying the republican party. I laugh when I hear Trump supporters talk about the "elites." Trump is a billionaire and is the elite of the elites. You don't see how Trump's actions are propping up the most establishment politician ever? It amazes me how many people have fallen into this nonsense. Trump is to the left of Hillary Clinton on many issues and sides with Elizabeth Warren on trade. This is all a smoke screen.

we are not closed minded or hateful , we just think and rationalize what is best for the whole not the individual

I watched an interesting show about how ugly and nasty the election of 1828 got. The 1824 election of John Q Adams was an elistist insider conspiracy, and Andrew Jackson's wife was attacked for her past leading to her having a heart attack they think from the stress of it... she never lived to see the White House. So there is no new thing under the sun. Although i guess you couldn't write something like "your worst then hittler" back then. :laugh:

I think Harry Truman did say something about Dewey being pro-Nazi or something in the 1948 election. Those past election shows give a great perspective!
