Of course. I read all your stuff. On Jan 20 I got into bed and stayed 3 days except to pee and feed my cat. The 4th day I said that is it fucker you get not another minute.

I have been alternating between anger, sadness, grief, desolation and anxiety and fear.

At this point I am not afraid anymore. I find all their bullshit hilarious. 🎭

We the People are more than equal to this fight. People will get hurt. A tragedy. 🎭

We will build a better country. We are taking all these traitors down.

I am broke beyond broke. I live in the land of overdrafts. I spread out thousands across 3 credit cards. These monies pay bills things to live. I just pay minimum and my credit score is 805. I will never need a good credit score again. I cannot buy anything . Once I cannot keep up I will let them take me to court. All I own is my 2012 Prius and a cat.

My brother could not pay a credit card bill , got sued by Discover. I helped my brother fill out the questions from the court. He said yes it was his obligation. He said he was unable to pay and provided his Social Security Disability benefit letter.

The judge silently read my brother’s answers , looked at his benefit statement and said, “Mr. X I appreciate your honesty in answering the questions. It is refreshing that you make no attempt to duck responsibility. Thank you sir.”

Then he turned to Discover’s lawyer. “ have you read defendants answers? “ yes? Ok have you looked at Mr. X’s benefit statement?” Yes? Ok. Super. “ so, “ are you kidding me with this case?” Without waiting for a reply

“Dismissed” the judge bellowed.

It was superb.
