The ones that aren't have been bribed or threatened. But word leaks out eventually!
Do you seriously believe that as I haven't seen any evidence of it. Plenty of rumours and supposition but no evidence.

Allegations not dissimilar to Mueller investigation which hasn't concluded. Do you dismiss all allegations against Trump?

During the campaign Hillary was lambasted by Trump & his supporters over her husband's infidelity.

Now he's president, they still give her shit for it while dismissing the very real claims against Trump including intimidation of his accusers.

Only in Trumpland does that make any sense.

Trump is on record as supporting his billionaire friend (and convicted pedophile) Epstein. There is far more evidence to suggest Trump is a (serial) rapist than Clinton.
That was before the investigation and conviction according to this source: The friendship between Trump and a billionaire pedophile

Can you find anything more recent than these dates? I've seen speculation that Epstein was running a blackmail operation on his island.

And I don't see anyone here defending Bill Clinton, merely drawing the parallel that his sex life was of supreme interest in his time as president and now you are trying to sweep Trump's proclivities under the carpet. Double standards once again.
Has he cheated on Melania since the election campaign? Is he currently cheating on her?

Usa would be insane to connect taiwan to korea.

Under no circumstance will china grant any degree of sovereignty to taiwan
? I didn't say they would be 'connected'. There is obvious tension. Military tension. Hence the USA stepping back to Japan from SoKo is less likely. As for China 'granting sovereignty', the reason there is tension is because Taiwan already has substantial independence, and China does not like that.

Allowing independance elections, un recognition, or demanding china gtfo of the taiwan straits, that is threatening their sovereignty, and they are the only measures you can ask re: having china back off.taiwan

None of them would be remotely considered by china

Just when you thought Trump's "best people" couldn't get any more ridiculous:

Comedian Randy Credico says Trump adviser Roger Stone threatened his dog

New York City comic and ex-radio host Randy Credico says that longtime Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone sent him “scary,” obscenity-filled emails — including one threatening his dog — after he went public disputing Stone’s claim that Credico was his “backchannel” to WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“You are a rat. You are a stoolie. You backstab your friends — run your mouth my lawyers are dying Rip you to shreds,” one of them read.

Then Stone added: “I’m going to take that dog away from you,” referring to Credico’s “therapy” dog, a Coton de Tulear named Bianca. “Not a f***ing thing you can do about it either because you are a weak broke piece of s***.”
:D

You mean cheating on his wife who has small children at home is not a representation of Trump's character?
I agree there are far more important issues to consider (by any measure he is a woeful President and a woeful human being) but the blatant hypocrisy, then pretending there are major differences between the two scenarios, are laughable.
He’s probably a woeful human being but he’s definitely not a woeful president. Early signs show that he could potentially be the best ever.

You have to laugh really , been on the road all day and listening to our ABC and not one word about this. Plenty about Comey's book though.

Led by Representative Ron DeSantis congress has sent a criminal referral letter (full pdf below) to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Federal Prosecutor John Huber.

The identified targets of the referral include: •former FBI Director James Comey; •former Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe; •former Attorney General Loretta Lynch; •former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; •current FBI Agent Peter Strzok; and •current DOJ Attorney Lisa Page (former Special Counsel to Andrew McCabe).

I would have thought that was extremely newsworthy , have not had time to check CNN etc.
No wonder half the world are mushrooms, they are lied to by omission.

Re uniting the Korea's.
*chuckles*

I think you're getting ahead of yourself.

I think you're also underestimating how much NK have played Trump. NK now have a seat at the table they've craved for decades without having to concede a thing. They upped their missile program and Trump has given them what they want (so far).

Again - I'm not sure what discussion you think you're having, but I'm talking about why there is tension between China and the US. As stated before the tension with Taiwan is largely to do with China wanting Taiwan to be less independent. Therefore, I would suggest maintaining the status quo is a 'measure' you haven't listed 're: having china back off'.

wait, so getting china to maintain the status quo is them backing off? china wants the status quo maintained. they dont want to invade, but that means no independence moves.

if usa leaving south korea is the price for china doing what its doing now, deal done already

Well well well what do we have here...

Comey should start a gofund me ala McCabe if he has time between all them memoir interviews.

Lock them all up!

Sorry , I didn't realise that NK wanted all those sanctions and the money cut off as well.
Yet Kim can jump on a train and travel to China.

Not to mention the concessions the IOC and SK made to them in the Olympics.

As for those sanctions and money being cut off . . . Kim laughs at you and Donald.

Leading western nations including the US have demanded action to shut down a global network of North Korean agents they accused of funnelling cash to Kim Jong Un’s regime in defiance of official sanctions. A statement by G7 finance ministers did not name any governments or financial institutions, but a senior US Treasury official said China and Russia are the two most important locations where the North Korean operatives are working.
