    Is there a reward for turning him in?
    It’s a good picture, someone knows him, but money talks. You gotta through a bribe to the rat ?

    In other news: Wells Fargo has been steeling from everyone by devaluing the currency through fractional reserve lending and predatory loans.

    St. George needs a border with National Guard. They come over to traffic drugs, rob banks, rob pharmacies, and steal formula from Walmart’s. : – )

      Maybe just make the wall along the southern border and have it block off California too, Mexico can have it back.

        It’s actually a bit too disappointing to me to to find it funny. Ironically, mexico basically already does “have it back”.
