Death threats.Whatever happened to that planned press conference by the woman that alleged she was raped by Trump when she was 13 yrs old?
lol got it!Death threats.
Allegedly raped as a child, doesn't mention for most of her life, he becomes a tycoon and public figure, still no mention, he runs for President, no mention, he gets close to it, no mention....then less than a week away she decides she 'needs' to go public - but suddenly cancels press conference for 'death threats' - ok. Makes sense.
Wasn't the civil suit lined up ages ago? The media just never covered it.Allegedly raped as a child, doesn't mention for most of her life, he becomes a tycoon and public figure, still no mention, he runs for President, no mention, he gets close to it, no mention....then less than a week away she decides she 'needs' to go public - but suddenly cancels press conference for 'death threats' - ok. Makes sense.
The fact he is ridiculed for it started entirely because he himself has ridiculed others for it in the past saying why have they changed their names, they should be proud of their heritage and then lied about it later saying he'd never said it. Because of that, it was discovered that Drumpf was his families name and ergo he should be proud of his heritage and it took off from there.I think John Oliver is a bit of a wanker, so, no, haven't seen it. I'm not wound up by it, it just seems odd. As you say, plenty of people change their names, i.e. Jon Stewart, there are plenty of better things to pick on but perhaps it's the desire to ridicule him that's behind it. Like I said, I just don't get it.
You do realise that a whole bunch of people have started coming forward together because up until this moment they had literally no chance whatsoever of going up against one of the strongest legal teams in the world.Allegedly raped as a child, doesn't mention for most of her life, he becomes a tycoon and public figure, still no mention, he runs for President, no mention, he gets close to it, no mention....then less than a week away she decides she 'needs' to go public - but suddenly cancels press conference for 'death threats' - ok. Makes sense.
You must be a troll. Clinton has said nothing as vile and disgusting about fellow human being as Donald Trump. You're right, they cannot be compared it's different leagues.He is a disgusting man, but Hillary is on another level. They cannot be compared for what they have said and done, it's different leagues.
Neo-fascist. Donald Trump. Yea ok.
Anyone who thinks a sexist, misogynistic, racist, homophobic, Islamophobic man who fecks over everyone he works with, insults war heroes and makes fun of the handicapped, who brags about committing sexual assault and dodging taxes and who recently said someone isn't attractive enough for him to sexually assault in the first place is better than someone who is under investigation for being careless with some emails to hold the most important job in the world needs their head examined.Trump might have the temperament of a 5 year old, might incite xenophobia on a daily basis, demean women, have a policy against allowing coloured people access to his properties, regularly refuse to pay contractors, might show complete contempt for the legal process, might want to curtail the freedom on press, might hold life long grudges against people, might have gone bankrupt half a dozen times, might be a trust fund kid who at no point in his life was surrounded by regular people, might surround himself with yes men because he can't handle being told he's wrong about anything, might want to turn NATO into a mafia-style organisation, might have zero grasp on the dangers of nuclear proliferation, or need an grasp on geopolitical realities, might even be an illiterate moron with zero attention spam. But hey, Clinton might be corrupt so, that's definitely much worse.

Could her "visa" be revoked? she became a U.S. citizen in 2006 so wouldn't that mean she is no longer in the US on a visa?It's kind of reassuring when you read a piece like this that carefully details the painstaking research they did and you realise that there are still journalists out there working with this level of rigour, in contrast to the talking heads and plain liars on television.
Now, who was I arguing with a few days ago about Trump's rhetoric only being about illegal immigrants?
Trump, second-generation immigrant on one side and third-generation on the other side of his family, married to someone whose visa could now be revoked according to a strict reading of the laws relating to illegally working on the wrong visa.
I think the others got there first There was a case of a conviction recently where the victim was someone I know who said nothing for 40 years. In fact, it's the second such case I've come across in my personal life, and in both cases I was utterly horrified and totally shocked that something like that had happened to them because they've carried on so well hiding it through their lives. I'm happy to PM you the story if you want to understand how it is possible for someone to be utterly crushed by something like this for most of their adult life and take literally decades to work up the courage to face their accuser.Allegedly raped as a child, doesn't mention for most of her life, he becomes a tycoon and public figure, still no mention, he runs for President, no mention, he gets close to it, no mention....then less than a week away she decides she 'needs' to go public - but suddenly cancels press conference for 'death threats' - ok.

Yup, the law is there for it to be revoked. However, the AP article points out it's only done in situations of extreme crimes. But yeah, it could.Could her "visa" be revoked? she became a U.S. citizen in 2006 so wouldn't that mean she is no longer in the US on a visa?
But is she in the US on a visa since she is now a citizen?Yup, the law is there for it to be revoked. However, the AP article points out it's only done in situations of extreme crimes. But yeah, it could.
Her citizenship could be revoked. But, the kind of situations they said that would happen in would be for war criminals, for example. The law is there though.But is she in the US on a visa since she is now a citizen?
Yes her citizenship could be revoked as I said, I don't think she is in the US on a visa anymore since she would not need it.Her citizenship could be revoked. But, the kind of situations they said that would happen in would be for war criminals, for zexample. The law is there though.
It's judgement like this that stops people from coming forward in the first place. We really need to leave this archaic thinking behind, it means literally nothing.Allegedly raped as a child, doesn't mention for most of her life, he becomes a tycoon and public figure, still no mention, he runs for President, no mention, he gets close to it, no mention....then less than a week away she decides she 'needs' to go public - but suddenly cancels press conference for 'death threats' - ok. Makes sense.
Think we're saying the same thing here There is a law that would put her status in the US at risk due to earning on the wrong visa. Fairly substantial amount too, $20k. The likelihood of that law actually being applied is non-existent though. However, it's another in the long line of paradoxes of Trump's campaign.Yes her citizenship could be revoked as I said, I don't think she is in the US on a visa anymore since she would not need it.
The thing with Cosby, the Irish Catholic Church, I'm guessing Saville (I was living in France when that broke so don't remember it as clearly) would actually undermine your scepticism quite considerably. It's common for legitimate victims of assault-especially kids-to wait until others have stepped forward. The possibility of going up against a person in position of power, a person who did such an act to you, can be terrifying.Allegedly raped as a child, doesn't mention for most of her life, he becomes a tycoon and public figure, still no mention, he runs for President, no mention, he gets close to it, no mention....then less than a week away she decides she 'needs' to go public - but suddenly cancels press conference for 'death threats' - ok. Makes sense.
you are an utterly clueless and detached-from-reality individual.Allegedly raped as a child, doesn't mention for most of her life, he becomes a tycoon and public figure, still no mention, he runs for President, no mention, he gets close to it, no mention....then less than a week away she decides she 'needs' to go public - but suddenly cancels press conference for 'death threats' - ok.

States legislatures decided how to award their Electoral Vote. Maine award 2 of its electoral votes (representing the Senate seats) to the statewide winner, and one for each Congressional districts winner. Same with Nebraska.Why is the state of Maine broken into different electoral vote?
Know could google - but sure where is the fun
They second a republican came into command as Gouvernour there, he decided this would be a good idea to give republicans a chance to win an EV in a state they would never carry as a whole...Why is the state of Maine broken into different electoral vote?
Know could google - but sure where is the fun
If Nevada is done and dusted then the only way Trump gets to 270 is by winning every swing state and also winning a solidly leaning blue state like VA, PA, MI, WI or MN.Tweet

Is it a GOP controlled county?
Arizona is a GOP-controlled state.Is it a GOP controlled county?

No wonder.Arizona is a GOP-controlled state.
Closer to 300 is my bet. Perhaps 314 Clinton.A tad optimistic, but if things go right the night can unfold like this
Better still ... revoke Trump's citizenship! Send him to MexicoCould her "visa" be revoked? she became a U.S. citizen in 2006 so wouldn't that mean she is no longer in the US on a visa?
Her citizenship could be revoked I suppose.
What an egotistical cnut -- was successful in giving a platform to whistleblowers and now a puppet of the Russians and a vindictive monkey.

Have you read the investigative piece that the Guardian published on it? It all points to a scam.It's judgement like this that stops people from coming forward in the first place. We really need to leave this archaic thinking behind, it means literally nothing.
That doesn't have any bearing on what I wrote.Have you read the investigative piece that the Guardian published on it? It all points to a scam.
I also remember reading an article on it ( I can't remember where atm) about mainstream media looking into it and not liking what they found, so are reluctant to go big on it without the alleged victim coming forward. If they can put a face to the story and it's bullshit then they write it off to the con artists, if they go with the story and the con artists keep their identity secret then the blame could be pointed at the journalists verifying the story of sorts.
