No Press Intimidation by Trump - hence: BREAKING REPORT: Melania Trump Was A Sex Worker After Moving To United States - repeating story the Trump Attorneys are now making bigger story than it was

There is a story in a major British newspaper The Daily Mail, which reports that there are now stories that Melania Trump, who was a nude model in her past - that is not under question, had also been an Escort model ie a hooker ie a prostitute and has been working as a hooker, ie Escort in New York before she married Donald Trump. I do take it upon myself to ridicule and laugh at Donald Trump's absurd political run this year. I did laugh at Melania when she was caught plagiarizing Michelle Obama's speech at the Republican Convention in July and as it since emerged, she has lied about having a college degree from Ljubljana University in Slovenia, which she does not (they have removed references to the fake degree from her website since this news broke out). But this blog is not at war with Trump's third wife, bought by Trump sixteen years ago, to rear some kids for Trump that Trump himself won't bother to get to know until they've grown up to be adults. Wives, that Trump buys from East Europe and replaces roughly every 16 years. I was mainly focused on mocking Trump himself.

So there is an American website, Liberal America, where a brave writer Andrew Bradford, wrote about the Melania Trump Escort modelling background, referencing the British stories via The Daily Mail. A perfectly valid commentary of a public person - Melania Trump volunteered herself into the public domain when she joined the campaign with her husband. She is now open to public stories as a public person. And Andrew Bradford's writing was fairly reporting what others had published. Andrew Bradford did not start the insinuations of Melania Trump having been a hooker ie prostitute ie Escort model; he repeated what was published by a British newspaper and which still today stands on their website.

The Trump attorneys attacked Liberal America and Andrew Bradford insisting he must apologize or be sued .Andrew is not rich enough to defend himself against a Billionaire's attorney attack-dogs so he relented and wrote an apology. Its quite an epic apology which does its best to keep all of the accusations still in view, and he also published in full the attorney's letter. A letter which uses such phrases as "Melania Trump was a sex worker after moving to the United States" haha. So it is that letter in verbatim, which is now on the blogsite and further hopefully adding to smear Melania Trump's name. But still, I feel very strongly about freedom of speech and feel a strong personal sense of support to Mr Bradfort that I have never met. I have never even heard of their publication, the Liberal America. But I now of course add my blog to the support of that issue. I link from this blog to Liberal America and I urge my readers to go read Andrew's very smart article where he deals with the attorneys' demand for apology.

I will also now for the record repeat all the issues that were raised by Melania Trump's ATTORNEYS

Melania Trump was a sex worker after moving to the United States

Melania Trump, the current wife of the GOP nominee for the White House, worked as an escort shortly after she first moved to the United States and was a favorite of rich men such as her current husband.

On the one hand, they [the girls] pretended to be models, but they principally earned money as elite escorts. They even had two composite cards (presentation cards held by each model) — with two photos and basic information such as measurements, eye and hair color, and agency details.

The second card…listed whether or not the woman liked older men and what her sexual skills in the bedroom were.

The modeling agency Melania signed with after arriving in New York was owned by Paolo Zampolli, who allegedly used the agency as a front for an escort service.

I am quoting VERBATIM from the letter as sent by Melania Trump's attorneys. You can compared the exact words to what is in the original pdf attorney's letter on the Liberal America website. 

This blog will stand for freedom of the press. This blog also will not stand for intimidation. Those words will stand on this blog forever. Donald Trump and his attorneys will not be able to get me to retract those words and I will add more.

Melania Trump was a nude model. That is beyond question. Donald Trump was unfaitful to his earlier wife. That is beyond dispute. Donald Trump was accused of raping his wife and went to court about it. That is beyond dispute. Melania Trump gave a plagiarized speech using Michelle Obama's words and has yet to apologize for it. That is beyond dispute and tells us all we need to know about the lack of any morally redeeming character in Melania Trump. Melania Trump claimed under oath in a court case to have a university degree from Ljbuljanka University in Slovenia which she does not have. That is not beyond dispute. Melania Trump is exactly the type of slimy slut personality who would sell herself to a sleazebag like Donald Trump - a man who posed as an imaginary publicist, using the alias 'John Miller' who bragged about the women Trump was supposedly having sex with. Those stories are as fake as his alleged status of being a Billionaire.

There are LOTS of matters that ARE in dispute. When did the Trumps get married. Donald Trump himself seems confused about the year. Was Melania in the USA married to someone else before Trump. What visa did she come into the USA under, was Slovenia part of the visa regime she now claims, when she arrived, and has she worked illegally with a visa not allowing work. All this could be easily resolved if Melania Trump gave the press conference she promised about her immigration status. Those promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University and as likely to be seen as Trump's tax returns.

What is not in dispute is that Melania Trump sold her naked body at least in pictures. She was a nude model. This is not in dispute. She has been claimed in multiple press stories from the USA to UK to her home country of Slovenia, to having been an Escort Model, which means hooker, which means prostitute, which is of course illegal in New York. She'd have been not only working illegally with visa but doing work which itself is illegal. I understand Melania Trump is freaking out that the truth is coming out, but its her past. She should not have married a guy who wants to run for President, because this shit will come out. And Trump, he should have done some 'extreme vetting' of his wife before marrying an Escort model.

Now on the reason why I write this. I hate to see Andrew Bradford at the Liberal America website bullied into a bogus apology. Trump himself should apologize to the Khan family and the US prisoners of war, and to Megyn Kelly and to Mexicans and to the Pope and to blacks and to Hillary Clinton and to Ted Cruz and his dad, and to President Obama and so forth. Andrew Bradford and Liberal America reported on a fair story that was published by reputable media. He has nothing to apologize for. I ask any bloggers and journalists and writers to join Andrew Bradfort in supporting him and the website Liberal America, that this kind of intimidation will not succeed. It is truly Vladimir Putin-esque of Trump to go after the free media like this. Shame on you Donald Trump. This will not stand!

The AP’s big exposé on Hillary meeting with Clinton Foundation donors is a mess

Except it turns out not to be true. The nut fact that the AP uses to lead its coverage is wrong, and Braun and Sullivan’s reporting reveals absolutely no unethical conduct. In fact, they found so little unethical conduct that an enormous amount of space is taken up by a detailed recounting of the time Clinton tried to help a former Nobel Peace Prize winner who’s also the recipient of a Congressional Gold Medal and a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/08/24/zika-virus-may-linger-babies-blood-months-unknown-effects/89269004/

House Republicans added "poison pill" amendments to the bill that would fund the fight against zika, then claimed it's the Democrats playing politics, and went on vacation.

Senate Stalls Zika Funding Laden With Partisan Riders

"It also bars the money from going to contraceptive services for women in Zika-afflicted areas, and to groups such as Planned Parenthood."
"The GOP version of the bill also eliminates a rule that bars the flying of Confederate flags at veterans’ cemeteries. Further, it waives environmental rules to allow the increased spraying of pesticides in waterways, although Zika-carrying mosquitoes do not breed in moving rivers and ponds."

Ok, so what happens when you shut down Planned Parenthood?

Conclusion: House Repukes, er, Republicans favor (1) paid vacations for themselves, (2) babies with microcephaly from zika, (3) higher mortality rates for poor mothers, (4) more agricultural water pollution in spite of millions in lost tourism trade.

Yeah, I'm a bit annoyed.

@grouch
The most fanatical Republicans want to dissolve the federal state. As long as they cannot have it, paralysing the federal level is an acceptible alternative. Trump invited Farage in Mississippi is probably no accident. Brexit and secession are quite comparable. Those behind Trump might stoke the fire of a new secession.

And it should be clear by now that conservative delegates could not care less about the lives of those who do not vote for them.

Hillary Clinton Microwaves Donald Trump’s Axis of Tinfoil

Clinton tied Trump to famed conspiracy theorists on Thursday, including one who believes the 9/11 attacks were an inside job—and whom Trump insisted he ‘will not let down.’

From your link:

"[Alex Jones] said the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre were child actors and no one was actually killed there.”

Also, he claimed the Oklahoma bombing was an inside job.

The Russian connection is strong with this one. Manafort's leave did not kill the Russuain rumors.

In other dirt news Trump's new Campaign CEO, Mr. Bannon faced domestic violence charges in 1996. Way to increase your appeal to women. This will really help close the gap with the women vote.

Trump's strategy makes sense. He will get the women vote by threatening to beat them if they don't vote for him.

"Why has Trump hit the mute button on the Olympics, while Clinton has pumped up the volume? There’s a good reason for that, and a surprising one. The spectacle of America vanquishing its global rivals is—ironically, amazingly—utterly terrible for the “America First” candidate."

Hi Everybody

Trump has bought a 10 million dollar TV ad buy to add to the earlier purchase. He seems to be ramping up his TV ad race. And then at least the announcement is again bizarre, because that TV ad buy includes Colorado and Virginia (and New Hampshire) states that are far out of reach, and money spent there is now a waste. Throwing parts of his TV ad budget to those states with 70 days left to the election, means less resources to win the four state he has to win, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. But he is advertising in those four states as well, and likely the amount of money spent will go mostly to those 4 vital states, and less to the others.

Then on the speaking. Trump continues to be Trump and refuses to go to the same boring set of battleground states where the election will be decided. Its like the general in charge of the war, visiting those peaceful fronts where the enemy isn't engaging, and cheering those troops, but not visiting the actual battle where his soldiers need the inspiration and guidance of the general.

So yeah, Trump is just now speaking in Arizona. Arizona a state that Hillary has not yet spent any TV ad money to fight for. A state that has voted Republican in every election in the last 50 years except when Bill Clinton ran. And a state where Hillary is still a few points behind Trump currently. But Trump wastes his time there - because its Sheriff Arpaio's backyard and Trump will have a roudy conservative immigrant-hating live audience there. Its a tour of an aging rock star visiting fave cities playing old hits, not a still-popular rock star playing new songs and trying to win newer, younger fans.

What I read between the tea-leaves is that Trump Campaign management is conflicted internally, giving Trump opposing advice, and what we already knew from Trump before, is that he will keep flipping his 'mind' based on who spoke to him last, so he's for example cancelled now 4 events in the past week, but that didn't end his run of campaigning in non-battleground states. Trump is not consistent to any degree. He is showing momentary moves that indicate he is getting serious (way too little and way too late) and then he has his typical Trumpian 'lapses' back to the nonsense.

I do expect another campaign shake-up in a few weeks, this is clearly chaos and it won't get Trump any actual gains. He will need someone to blame, and as he is getting mixed advice from his team, which is diametrically opposed (look at the mess of his immigration positions and deportation of the illegals) Trump will fire someone.

If Trump is smart about it, he'll fire (or demote) Bannon. If Trump goes by his feelings and what he personally thinks he should be doing, he'll fire (or demote) Conway. And of course he could fire/demote both and bring in another outsider to restart his campaign.

I had a joke poll on Twitter where I asked my followers to vote. Options were:
Trump will lose
Trump will pivot and lose
Trump will unpivot and lose
Trump will repivot and lose

But that is kind of what his life is like. Totally devoid of a plan or purpose, Trump is a weathervane that spins wildly in a storm.

Hi Isceald

That is priceless. Thanks!!! I tried to put it into a tweet, but even with very careful editing and spelling shortcuts, I couldn't fit it so much less than 140 characters, to fit your name also onto the Tweet. So I instead wrote the full poem like you had it, into a short image file, plus the title and you as the author, referencing the blog. And posted that onto my Twitter followers. Thanks! VERY VERY funny.
