If they voted then they aren’t illegally here?

I don’t think you understand how determined the buyers are once they’ve been convinced by the scammer. I used to work for a major retailer that had signs at the register AND messages that the customer had to accept on the signature pad confirming they didn’t believe they were being scammed before going through with the purchase.

Additionally, my team was instructed to call me over any time they had a customer who they felt was being scammed to try to talk to them. Sometimes, I was successful, but other times I wasn’t. There is still one guy who goes in weekly to buy $500 of various gift cards for his overseas “girlfriend” on WhatsApp. I tried talking to him multiple times and he became increasingly angry at the conversation. I just had to accept I couldn’t help him.

There’s also a good chance many or all of the hostages are dead.

I think this encapsulates NYC to perfection

I thought you need $401k to retire.

The word “weird” gets overused a lot but this is weird as fuck. Pretty creepy.

Anyone else hate seeing billionaires, for either side, being so blatantly involved in trying to tip the scales? It’s always been done behind the scenes, but now it’s out in the open and we’re supposed to be happy about it?

Doesn’t surprise me. He owes everything to the McMahon family who was also closely aligned to Trump.

I wonder if it’s because Trump doesn’t want to share the spotlight

Thanks for looking it up. It was a few years ago, so maybe I messed up the details along the way or the local branch manager was just being a dick to prevent a lost membership.

About time. Retro Fitness gym wanted a notarized letter from someone I know explaining why they no longer wanted the membership. Absolute insanity.
