#TheConjuring series of films are enjoyable enough to pass the time, but the ongoing pretence they're based on a true story is somewhere between hilarious and depressing.

Suppressing uncomfortable historical truths in the state he currently controls, just seems to be too easy & simple for Ron DeNazis - striving for higher spheres & office, he's set to achieve more ambitious goals: Eg controlling the national curriculum.

@stevesilberman Did you ever notice, that suspect figures like DeSantis love to play with aggressions/ emotions, lies, fantasies & prejudices, but are completely bare of any useful accomplishments benefitting the American electorate & all Americans?
Con artists ore of no benefit to society.

Former Nissan Fanboy here.

Let's be very clear: It was NEVER an *alliance*.

It was Eurotrash cannibalizing a solid (but clueless/leaderless) engineering firm that used to be awesome to prop up a failing businesses, and eventually the shell game stopped.

BREAKING: Democrats release Trump tax returns, exposing Trump as an unpatriotic schemer who scammed #MAGA voters for years while pretending to be a billionaire.

Republicans express concern that future candidates will not be able to work the same grift.

He's not Jewish. He's "Jew-ish."

He didn't "work" for Goldman Sachs or Citigroup. But he's definitely heard of them.

He didn't get "degrees" from Baruch College and New York University. But he had a friend who went to Trump University.

Dear banks!
I study scams!

To help prevent scams have a code that randomly changes that can only be accessed by the customer account page and customer service team. If a phone agent needs to contact a client they must provide the correct number to the client first.

The second code appears for the client to provide the agent! The second code can not be accessed until the first one is verified by the agent on the back end.
2FA is good however it needs to be in both directions. The other issue with 2FA is that it’s intimidating to seniors. Even the text “Do not give to anyone” is confusing because they think the scammer is the bank. Or they write the 2FA code down thinking it’s a new password.
“The agent code is 42427 “ does that match? “Yes - No” is a simple question. (Clicking no would trigger alerts)
While this will not prevent all scams it will help reduce phone scams pretending to be bank agents.

Some companies trick people into doing things online that they don't really want to do.
