Four Walls @FourWalls (86827) • United States 2 Aug 22

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 23 Sep 20

LOL. Why is it that almost everything our new POTUS does start a pissing match? It's not like consumers need financial protection anyway. Ask the folks who work at Wells Fargo. Yes I know. That's not really fair. I...
