You can't remotely control somebody to perform self-surgery and mail their microchip back.

Unless of course you have a backup "bootloader" microchip installed.

I've got an app on my phone that will open and close my garage door, thanks to my electrician son. I've thought about giving other my family members, who don't live with me, the info, but I'm afraid they might get careless and leave it open. They all have keys to my house, but I doubt they know where they are anymore.

democratic leaning entity wants to spy on every American, via an embedded microchip, 99% of us have utterly boring lives, same ol', same ol', which in truth, boring is good.

These right wing nuts/freaks seem to think that some weird conspiracy exists in every corner, that democratic candidates along w/ George Soros, as well as other billionaires, are monitoring every move every American is making and that nefarious things are happening behind the scenes.

Ironically, one needs to look more closely at Koch but he's lately changed his tune, actually embracing concepts such as wanting republicans to work w/ democrats, in passing meaningful legislation to deal w/ the illegal aliens in this Country already, etc. Why not? rump moaned and bitched about this 'issue' but didn't do a damn thing, other than illegally halt DACA, and slam the doors shut to all immigration.
