Pretty weird a cashier would allow 20 grand in a register that most I’ve worked with can not fit. Let alone keep that amount of money not in a safe. Inside job ?

Your so clever. So clever you like 26 million illegal criminals using your kids and families medical resources and your tax money to free load off of you. Maybe just let them use your spare food and bedrooms and share your medicine and car since you think it’s so damn amusing save us our tax money for actual US citizens children and elderly that need it. Trump 2024. Trump save us from the sheep followers that know no better but to think it’s cute to let 26 million illegal criminals from all over the world to crawl illegally over fences into our great country to tap into our resources before ever contributing anything to our country in any way except the first step they take which is becoming a criminal.

DeSantis may get the gop prez nomination in 2024, he has most of the positives of Trump but without the baggage, more electable, younger, healthier, and more likely to actually make needed changes.

Well, somebody has to hire them. Now who might that be? Hmmm. Let me think about that. Oh yeah, good upstanding business owners who get away with it because it makes for a better profit margin. Pay the employees in cash. Less than minimum wage. No payroll taxes. Hmmm.

OBiden’s non-existent border policy allowed 4.5 million criminal illegal aliens to invade our border and enter our nation, since poopy pants took office. This is an invasion that must be stopped immediately and an impeachable offense for OBiden…

Maybe the trim jobs he’d heard about from tales that originated in the early-late 20-teens made him still think he could come to No Ca, trim some bud, and leave home with bank. Used to be quite the deal. But alas, no longer.

We had a bunch of Argentinians trimming our last couple years. They had a network of others they knew so they could flock to where the big jobs were, pull back when a job was smaller. They were hard-working, reliable, honest and looked out for each other. And one night they hooked us up w/ Argentinian barbeque…delicious! Good people earning some money here because their economy went to shit… taking home their earnings for their families mostly, some were young travelers heading next to Mexico to chill on the cheap. But yeah- those trim jobs are gone. Some are getting worked but not getting paid. I don’t know this guy’s story but armed robbery is never cool. Dummy should have quickly crossed the border into Mexico and then grabbed the flight home…quickly before alerts went out. International flights are monitored for warrants and then you get fugitive charges thrown on top…

The liberal broken record is just that – broken. Their record of keeping America safe is 0%. Their record of ruining America is 100%. They have no plans to do anything but ruin the economy and lie about it.

I really don’t want to see what this country would be like without at least some sense of reality regarding compassion for our fellow humans. Big pharma and big business needs to have some controls in place, but one political party doesn’t have the balls to stand up for what’s right.

Here’s gun reform. All US citizens must be trained in grade school about all types of guns. They must have knowledge of safe handling and storage of guns. They must be proficient in use of all types of guns for hunting and self defense. Categories include, but are not limited to revolvers, semi automatic handguns, bolt action rifles, lever action rifles, semi automatic rifles, pump shotguns and semi automatic shotguns. They will have mandatory range time at least monthly.

Hey I don’t like Trump either but…when did he commit mass genocide? When you over exaggerate to create a point that doesn’t exist then people lose respect for what you have to say and they listen much less to you. Yeah- Trump did that too and that’s why I stopped listening to him. It’s something extremists on both sides do. Are you an extremist? Or are you a reasonable man?
