20. Seriously... it's like a tale of two food trucks.

Nov 12

So we're in Huntington Beach, CA... and there's a food truck serving Mexican food including Fish Tacos and there's a truck next to it serving Philly Cheese Steak...

And the PCS truck blames the "fucking stupid consumers" for buyin off the Mexican truck?

Seriously?

An election is "selling" something.

If no one buys... change the menu or fire the chef.
