This guy is 100% right. What is America really gaining here when Trump is busy building a UFC ring on the WH lawn? How's that going to help the American economy?

Seeing this feels so good.

For the past few years my CC utilization % was always around 30% if not higher, but since last year and earlier this year I decided to tackle it head on. I was irresponsible with debt so mistakes were made, but I called the creditors, negotiated settlements, and my family and partner have been super supportive in helping me clear this debt and allowing me to show what responsible usage actually means. I use my debit card way more often than before and even when I use my credit cards, as soon as the charge posts, I pay it off straight away. My vantage scores are almost at 700 and my FICO Score 10T is sitting at 638 as of today, my FICO 8 for TU is literally at 670 which is insane while EXP and EQ aren't too far off.

Having responsible, supportive people around you really seems to pay off. For months now I've noticed I use credit cards very responsibly, and I've been saving too for the past two years now since I met my partner, something I wish I did years ago.

Goes to show, you can do it! Anyone whose dealing with any form of debt, be responsible, be consistent, and as I said deal with people who are responsible and want to support you.

This time two years ago I had 8k-10k in credit card debt. Not anymore

To the people who elected this moron into political office: look at this post and ask yourselves, what does this post accomplish? More importantly, what does racism accomplish? - this guy should be kicked out of office for this horrendous post.

Inside the North Carolina GOP’s Decade-Long Push to Seize Power From the State’s Democratic Governors

Let's not ever EVER forget who the true devil in NC really is: the GOP running this state!

From the article:

  • Two weeks after Stein's win, the North Carolina legislature’s Republican supermajority fast-tracked a bill that would transform the balance of power in the state.

  • lawmakers have attempted to transfer control or partial control of at least 29 boards, entities or important executive powers. In most cases, they succeeded.

  • Republicans now hold increased sway not only over North Carolina’s election board, but also over its schools, building codes, environmental regulations, coastal development, wildlife management, utilities, cabinet appointments and more. All had previously been under control of the governor.

  • North Carolina Republican legislative leaders didn’t respond to interview requests or detailed emailed questions from ProPublica about the power shifts. In the past, Republicans have defended whittling down Democratic governors’ authority by pointing to similarly partisan moves by Democrats decades ago, though these were on a much smaller scale.

So in summary, ever since Gov. Stein won the election, the Republicans were too busy making sure he has barely any power or say about what they do. In all, the Republicans cheated their way into more power and more authority. Is that the standard NC is going to have to deal with permanently? I sure hope not.. that'll be the literal death of NC.

Even though this article is months old at this point - this should still be our mission here in NC:

We need to vote these vile GOP politicians out of office!

So I guess these days just because you protest over representation that's now considered a bad thing? America is literally a sinking ship at this point.

I mean just wow. Just shameful.
