NBC 12 says: "WE ALL HATE I-95 TRAFFIC....but this morning, when this man found himself in a traffic jam on I-95 near Westhaven Connecticut, he decided to shed all of his clothing and sit on the roof of his car. Police were called and transported him to a facility for a mental evaluation. Coincidentally, or maybe not, today is National Nude Day."

He's obviously disturbed. Driving a Ford Focus? Really?

Hey, now. I'm driving a Ford these days... I prefer First on Race Day. 8-) ... Unfortunately, I tend to drive Flipper's close cousin -- an Escape. (The Ford Explorer was dubbed Flipper by my family because of the issue they had blowing out front tires and causing the vehicles to flip).
But I previously drove Chevrolet's (did anybody ever come up with an acronym for that one? LOL)

Also commonly referred to as the "Exploder"

Pitbull asks that everyone join in the Trump and Trump businesses boycott.
I'm not sure how wanting to make sure people only enter legally, rather than illegally crossing the border equates to Hate.

Trump has done things like refer to all Hispanics as Mexicans (Pitbull is Cuban, for example) and saying that Mexicans are rapists. None of this has much to do with border crossings.
There is a separate question, not related to Trump, around if having the inability to cross in legally is related to hate, but that's not the issue with Trump.

In case anyone is not watching the markets, China lost 8.5% of their market value yesterday in epic trading which is pretty close to the theoretical maximum that the market there can lose in a single day as China as a 10% cap per stock per day loss before trading automatically stops. To lose anything close to 8.5% means that most stocks had to lose their full 10%, any little gains or non-maximum losses by any stock anywhere would keep them from having the full market lose 10%.
Today, they have lost another 1.7% already. This is after a 30% loss a month ago.
