Quote:6ixStringJack, all you proved is that Republicans lack self-control. Australians, for example, don't mentally come unglued when mocked: Kathy Griffin, Laugh Your Head Off World Tour review, Melbourne Comedy Theatre

Yawn.
"I've got no agent, I've got no publicist," say US comedian Kathy Griffin during the first Melbourne performance of her world tour. She's talking about how her career imploded in the wake of her posing with a mock-up of Donald Trump's blood-covered head.
After the pic went viral online, Griffin was sacked by CNN and had theatres across the US cancel her planned shows. Former friends condemned her, while Trump supporters inundated her – and her mother and ill sister – with abuse and death threats. {Nothing says more clearly that the GOP is full of nuts and delicate snowflakes.}
But this is Australia, and the stunt has seemingly had no impact on her popularity with fans here. A packed Comedy Theatre gave her a rock-star welcome and an extra show was added due to demand.

While the Trump incident and its aftermath is given due weight in the show (Griffin was the subject of a two-month federal investigation and, astonishingly, put on a no-fly list), the verbose redhead also spends plenty of time telling more upbeat anecdotes, like her friendly relationship with her eccentric next door neighbours in Hollywood – Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Griffin says she doesn't "give a f---" anymore and is happy to dish dirt on some of her famous former friends, as well as her run-ins with executives in the entertainment industry. In the context of the sexual harassment scandals currently engulfing powerful Hollywood figures, Griffin's world tour and recent retraction of her apology starts to look like an important act of defiance.

All you've proven is that American Media lacks self control.
CNN is a Liberal outfit. Any sacking of Kathy Griffin there was by Democrats.

SEC Probing Kushner Company Role In Visas-For-Money Program
Chinese who invest in Kushner company real estate deals can get green cards.
As Donald Trump battles to build a wall to keep Mexican immigrants out of America, the Securities and Exchange Commission is probing the real estate company owned by the family of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and its link to a lucrative federal visa program, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The EB-5 visa program provides green cards to immigrants who invest a minimum of $500,000 in certain American businesses. The Associated Press reported last year that wealthy Chinese spent $7.7 billion obtaining 40,000 of the “golden visas” in the U.S. in the last decade.

If there is any truth to that story, it could certainly mean trouble for the Trump administration.
That's very similar to how they ended up getting Republican George Ryan out of the Governorship of Illinois, only to replace him with Democrat Rod Blagoyovich who was also later ousted for different charges of corruption.

I think Jared needs to do a better job picking his relatives before he's born.
Quote:The EB-5 "visa for money" program is an official, sanctioned, US program. Many countries around the world, including first-world countries, have similar programs.

Quote:
https://www.uscis.gov/eb-5
EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program
USCIS administers the EB-5 Program. Under this program, entrepreneurs (and their spouses and unmarried children under 21) are eligible to apply for a green card (permanent residence) if they:
Make the necessary investment in a commercial enterprise in the United States; and
Plan to create or preserve 10 permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers.
Quote:Apparently it's a very popular program with many US businesses looking for investors - popular enough to grant 4,000 Chinese investor-visas every year over 10 years. I estimate these visas are requested by a minimum of 1000 companies per year.
The Associated Press reported last year that wealthy Chinese spent $7.7 billion obtaining 40,000 of the “golden visas” in the U.S. in the last decade.
Quote:NB: Jared Kushner is not implicated.
Kushner Companies came under fire in May after Kushner's sister, Nicole Meyer, a principal at the company, mentioned her brother's service in the Trump administration during a pitch to investors in Beijing.
Quote:But makes no business decisions.
Though Kushner, a (sic) and senior White House adviser, stepped down from running the company, he still maintains a stake in projects.
Quote:NB: Jared Kushner is still not implicated.
The Kushner family later apologized, saying it hadn’t intended to capitalize on the role of the president’s son-in-law in the White House as part of the presentation.
Unless someone can find Jared Kushner played an active role in FRAUDULENTLY obtaining visas for investors - ie, these investors didn't comply with program requirements or were otherwise ineligible - I don't see a problem here, except perhaps false advertising by implication, by Jared's sister.
HAS IT NOT OCCURRED TO YOU BY NOW THAT IF YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO LOGICAL FALLACIES AND TROLLING YOUR SO-CALLED ARGUMENTS ARE LIES?

"It's obvious you didn't understand the point of the article. Read it again."
I believe I do understand the point of the article.
40,000 visas have been granted !!! To CHINESE !!! In a "VISA FOR MONEY" scheme !!! It's YUGE !!! Be alarmed !!!
The fact that it's been over the span of 10 years; a legal, official, US program; one similar to what other countries do; and participated in by thousands and thousands of companies from all over the world ... well, pay no attention to that.
And Kushner's sister mentioned Kushner while promoting visas in China ! Jared must be fraudulently pocketing money from fraudulent visas ! That's the only conclusion you can draw ! Jared is guilty !!!
Even if the visas were all perfectly legally obtained.
Looking further, while your link is dated this year, its links go back to reporting from last May and August. So it's churning old allegations without new information.
Yes, I believe I COMPLETELY understand the point of the story.

Quote:Since the program was created in 1990, 80% of the visas from this program go to 4 countries: China, South Korea, Taiwan, United Kingdom. We really must start vetting those Brits.
