Could we blast music to flush out the dictator?

The US military has used that tactic in the past, with positive results. What music would he hate the most?

In deference to diplomatic protocol, U.S. forces did not enter the embassy. But they did concoct a plan to smoke out Noriega, who died Monday at the age of 83. The plan involved music, mostly heavy metal and rock, with a few ballads thrown in. It was blasted on loud speakers, at deafening volumes, around the clock.

MAGAT drove by at Chase Center

As my friends and I were walking back to our cars, some douche drove by with a sunroof open and a giant Trump flag sticking up. No one walking by said anything, so we've learned to not give them the attention they are seeking.

They weren't letting cars near the staging area, so people were gathering along the fence to the road that the cars and motorcade were using to get there. When all the police lights were spotted, we started chanting "46" and then that was pretty much it. Watched the speech on our phones and moved on.

But it was nice to be there with an excited and anxious crowd! Most of the license plates in the parking lot were from Washington DC, New York, and a bunch of other states. We joked that we might have the only Delaware plates in the lot. The moment of victory will come soon!
