Nov 2023

and who knows how many that you can't see. I only know because Tiffany Trump lived across the street from me while she was attending Georgetown Law School. We have both moved since then.

Thank you SS. republianmushroom Nov 2023 #27

Reading that little bit, firstly... trying to steal an unoccupied cars possible death? LizBeth Nov 2023 #28

Its not their job to arrest anyone, it is sadasfyed Nov 2023 #36

What am I supposed to say, definitely? Polybius Nov 2023 #75

If they were leaving secrets or heavy weaponry in the car that warrants firing weapons XorXor Nov 2023 #74
