Trying to figure out legal and political remedies to a personal problem.

I looked at the support forum but it does not seem to really fit. First, I want to disclose I have a brain injury and that affects my understanding of things. Please talk to me like I am a 5 year old.

Hubby recently passed. I have health problems and decided to get a jetted tub from a well known brand. The sales person said my doors were not wide enough to get a jetted tub. He measures moisture in my walls and told me it was a health hazard and it will cost me more money down the road if I let the mold just sit.

I am trying to gloss over this, so ask questions if need be. When the construction time came, my tub was removed and there was no moisture or mold. When we talked finances, I said I am disabled and have no income, so I would not qualify for their loan: It did not dawn on me what he was doing until later. (Brain injury). He asked how much I used to make. A bit later I was approved. I think he may have lied, but the tub people will not let me see what he wrote. Also, I used my dead husband’s card. The guy knew it was my dead husband’s credit card. I did not realize that was credit card fraud until everything went south. The sales guy is mentally able and he should have known.

Lots of things transpired. At first they wanted to really offer me nothing. They do not seem concerned their sale’s guy conned me into something I do not need. Finally, they said they would do it for free, but they do not acknowledge the loan, which they got partially funds from - they say I can close it at any time. Loan folks say, sure once I pay the balance! They say they are not refunding credit card (7k) until I sign a release. Because they do not acknowledge I have any sort of loan, I do not trust they will give anything back.

I am thinking of going to the media. One local station handles consumer disputes. I am thinking of going to my attorney general. A lawyer told me it will cost me more than the tub if I try to sue. What steps can I take? I think these people are all con artists. Please help me.

Iran is part of his retribution tour.

At one point, since he ended up in the White House, he said there were orders if he was assisted, Iran would be demolished.

You know what a think skinned prick he is. Either he got intelligence saying there were plans, or maybe someone in Russia (or another country) said this was going to happen. Maybe the other country just wanted Iran out of the way and fed Krasnov bad information.

In his mind, how dare they go after him and he will destroy them all!

Because of his think skin and vindictive pettiness, he wants to destroy them.

Maybe it was just some government officials who planned the assassination. Maybe no one did and it was planted information. Maybe in his demented state, he dreamed it up himself to puff up his ego - he is such a big, bad guy, they want to get rid of him. He must be important! lol.

This is why he wants Iran - men, women and children, killed. Pro life my ass!

Just thinking about the deportations.

Thinking of how small and petty the orange one is. People are stopped at the border. They are asked to see their phones. A French scientist was refused admittance when anti-orange sentiments were found on his phone.

Has anyone reported on how they found the people they deported to El Salvador? If they did their due diligence they would have known those folks are not gang members. I wonder if anyone checked the social media accounts of those denied due process to see if they expressed anti republican/orange sentiments.

Anyone know? A scandal like that would be pretty big, no matter how they tried to hide it.

Yellowbelly Beer Company of Canada - Elbows Up!

https://www.instagram.com/p/DHjOAEAtQ6P/

The term “elbows up” originated from hockey great, Gordie Howe. He would put his elbows up, while on the ice, to keep players away from him. It was a defensive move.

Since the US has become hostile to their old friends, Canadians have been saying, “Elbows up,” as a way to express they need to be defensive against any moves Americans may make against them.

Now the Newfoundland (a province of Canada) is producing a beer called Elbows Up. It features a Canadian hockey player using his elbows up to defend against an American hockey player. The beer company has almost sold out before the bottles hit the shelves.

The ale has been available on tap at the restaurant for weeks and will delivered to NLC stores by early next week. He said it's proven to be a popular drink already.

"I'm very proud to say we're down to our last two kegs of it," he said.

Check out the article for the other beer called On Guard. It is made by a different Newfoundland beer company. Made only with Canadian ingredients.

Elbows up, everyone!

That happiness survey? Stephanie Miller said....

They found people who care and give (paraphrasing) are happier. Says a lot about manage and why our country dropped in happiness so much.

Can you spend a little money today?

Please reach out to the ACLU and give a few dollars. Not spending at stores sends one message. Giving to the ACLU sends an extra message. I did my part today. I hope you will give

Is our money safe in banks?

I know there is a FDIC guarantee, but can they take that away? Will there be any warning if they do end that guarantee? Is there anything about this in P25? I mean, cruelty is the point. Thanks.

Cheap Chicken

A lot of folks are stocking up before prices rise. If you want to stock up on meat, the place I buy mine is https://houseofraeford.store/collections/burlington-nc-11-23-24

I pay $72 for 40 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I have been doing it for a few years now. Their chicken is good. If you do not have room for that much, split it with a friend or family member. Spread the word around so we can all help each other save money.

Do I Correctly recall someone talking about machines changing votes.

I believe during early voting, someone on this board told us a machine (not sure which state, maybe it was Florida?) changing votes. And this I am not particularly sure of, but I believe someone *may* have backed it up with another occurrence.

I have heard many people here deny anything went on, because machines were not hooked up to the internet. Does that mean whomever is in charge of the software that was used on these machines could not have messed with the program writing?
