    A school of thought is that if some anti-gun nutter
    started killing at NRA meetings / pro-gun senators
    etc, these plank-tons might change their tune.

    But the senator Gifford aftermath suggests perhaps not.

    Similar can be said for Australia: in April 1996 somebody killed 35 people in the Port Arthur Massacre, and in response the sale of semi-automatic weapons and self-loading shotguns were restricted, and on top of that licenses were severely tightened up so a person would need a license for every single gun that they own (as opposed to one license that would cover anything from a single gun to a small-scale arsenal, which is the US system) - and by complete coincidence there hasn't been a massacre since.

    Of course, the NRA cheerleaders point to both Dunblane and Port Arthur as proof that gun control doesn't work, which far too many easily-led drones accept as truth instead of taking ten seconds to Google the basic facts about gun control coming into force after the massacres.

    The longer she sticks there the more alimoney she will get. She will chose her time carefully. She's only there for the money.

  9. I think her pay-off now would be more than adequate in normal circumstances. However, there is likely to be a non-disclosure element. Trouble for Trump is that if there are additional revelations that didn't form part of that then she may be able to depart and go public earlier.
    She may well take an opportunity to be a 'woman scorned' <laugh>

    Just so we've got this straight: it was the "Will of The People" for Henry Bolton to become UKIP leader, but now they've decided that wasn't such a good move and decided to try something different?

    Interesting...

    Putin is the biggest WUM on this planet. Hack into a few computers around election time and leave enough evidence that you've been there, and then do nothing. Just let the Americans spend 4 years and billions of dollars disappearing up their own backsides serching for some kind of evidence of interfering with an election, which they will never find because there's nothing there. He's laughing all the way to the Vodka store.

    To the surprise of nobody, Trump ally (and governor of Florida) is trying to turn the Parkland shooting into an excuse to point the finger at the FBI and demand their chief step down, which of course has nothing to do with trying to steer the FBI away from their investigation into links between the Orange Overlord and Putin...

    Mueller apparently has evidence linking Russia meddling into the American voting system against Hillary.Donald still loves mother Russia!
    Their is another rag called the National Enquirer,whose owner is a pal of Trump and regularly prints b.s. about the Clintons.

    The news people reports the Trump is distancing himself from Mueller.I wonder why? Is Trump next....we hope!?

    I really don't think that the Russians hacked into the voting systems and then did nothing.
    The current line is that there's no evidence that they altered any votes, but that's a rather open ended statement.
    It could mean that they can't determine if any votes have been changed, for example.
    They could also have just nicked a load of information or removed a bunch of registrations, so that people couldn't vote on the day.
    There were a lot of complaints by people attempting to vote and not being able to.

    Every week we're getting more information about the investigation, as charges are leveled and people are questioned.
    Trump's going to do something stupid and mental soon and it won't be pretty.

    They wrote and suggested all kinds of bullcrap about Hillary......and it was believed by a lot of Dem voters.....and they put the stamp on Trump.....to which,if they'd known about Trump,they would rather have committed suicide,which they did!
    They probably saw the bull crap on the National Enquirer as they lined up to pay for their groceries.....and took it all in.
    Even Hitler's bull crap department would have been full of admiration!

    To the surprise of nobody, Trump's now trying to blame the FBI for the Parkland shooting.

    Remind me who it was who tore down legislation that would have prevented Nikolas Cruz from being able to casually walk into a gun store and legally purchase semi-automatic weapons in spite of his mental health problems?

    I bought a house recently and the realtor provided a central heating man to check the heating system. He passed it. A little later I got another opinion and was told half of the system was a lot of junk and I would have to replace it.

    Trump provided a doctor to check him out and Trump "passed" with flying colours. Time to get a second opinion!

    The doctor told the American public that he passed with flying colours. They always do that.
    He also claimed that Trump wasn't obese, he'd grown an inch somehow and used a Trump catchphrase in his summary.
    I'm sure that the medical is real, but the results released to the public are utter ****.
