I was hacked! Hacked as a newt! Bad men did it … it was the bigger boys. Why are racists so desperate to deny their beliefs that they’ll humiliate themselves with lies like this? No “hacker” gets access to your account without changing the password and locking you out!
On Sunday night my Facebook was accessed and a vile message was posted on my page without my knowledge. It contained words that I would never write and an opinion I don’t share. As soon as I found out I immediately deleted the post and have taken steps to ensure my cyber security

Hi @AmazonHelp ... Today I tried to order a corkscrew from you ... your website asked me for age verification info (name, DOB, address) to match those on my debit card. I entered those correctly and was refused the sale. I turn 50 this month. I will take my business elsewhere

Charlie Kirk is a horrible lying grifter, but that doesn't mean he deserves to be shot. If you're celebrating this you're a ghoul.
