About ten years ago I got a business phone which had the number of a former Verizon customer. For nearly ten years I've been getting calls asking for "Laurie," texts from her lowlife friends, requests for contributions to her right wing causes, from Donald Trump Jr., the NRA.... the list goes on and on.

For about the last five years I've been responding with appropriate contempt.

Today a text came identifying itself as coming from the orange pedophile himself, asking me to... I didn't read further. I simply responded "Release the Epstein files and stop vandalizing the people's house.

Within a minute a text came back. "You have successfully unsubscribed."

A little victory.
