Has the civil war started?
Yes, I’m the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
I’m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you’re still around
Pretty sure that when Buck Ram wrote those lyrics - he was talking about losing someone else. Tяump ? Just a nobody. The latest in a long line of pretenders.

Auto pay card expired.
Payment bounced.
Can’t get online to pay because the payment gate is blocked because I’m not in the U.S.A.
Also means I can’t change card details.
Get onto chat.
