A good driver does a quick visual check of his truck before driving away. That would a hard place to get into without the driver knowing it.
Thank you!
Why do we even bother having a Border Patrol, ICE, DEA, DHS anymore?
For appearances..
Well somebody has to help the IRS keep an eye on us right wing extremists.
Why the hell can’t Mexicans fix their own damn country?
