“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

See, Gintama filler episodes tended to be **** at least. I had this at *** to *** 1/2. That being said, it's still vaguely Gintama so I will keep watching

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
