Oh, you want security? Pay us UP FRONT and we’ll do it.
easy to understand, he can piss all over california, and they will still give all their electorial votes to him.
what does he have to do? if he payed it would only cost him money.
people still supported stalin while he was killing their neighbors.
blessings, bobo

The bank would notify the town pretty fast if a big check bounced. Then the cops get told over their radios to return to their precinct in the middle of the event.
