Thank you. I was actually going to add "except for the pee smell" but fear the backlash.

6. R&K for, I get curious about topics like this, like (I say) that Congressman Devin NUNES

My pique was piqued about him because "Nunes" is a spelling suggesting to me "Hispanic" but that's "Nunez" with a tilde/squiggly on the n.

My pique is rooted in the eternal question, why would any minority ever be a Repuke, and in Devin NUNES' case of the *vociferous* variety.

So I looked up the Wiki yesterday and discovered he is a third generation landowner/entrepreneur, which vaguely sort of explains something VESTED. I'm sure to be gigged on this. Anyway, he's of Portugese descent, so not "Hispanic" and MORE TO THE POINT even the government of Portugal has taken negative issue with him on stuff.

Anyway, I feel liberated to ask a question like this in this thread, so thanks. I'll delete if I have to.

7. I thought she sort of could be sent back as she worked when first here while holding only a

visitor VISA. Some say that could be cause for deportation since she didn't abide by the rules.

Report: Melania Trump worked in US before getting proper visa
By Evelyn Rupert - 11/04/16 10:09 PM EDT

Melania Trump was paid more than $20,000 for modeling jobs in the United States before she had legal permission to work in the country, The Associated Press reported Friday.

Modeling agency accounting documents obtained by the AP show that between Sept. 10 and Oct. 15, 1996, Trump, née Knaus, was paid for 10 modeling jobs totaling $20,056 before she obtained her H-1B work visa. She arrived in the U.S. in late August of that year.

A New York immigration lawyer who has reviewed Trump’s immigration documents, looked at some of the documents obtained by the AP at the news organization's request.

“These documents, which have not been verified, do not reflect our records including corresponding passport stamps,” Michael J. Wildes said in a statement to the AP. The modeling gigs included jobs for Fitness magazine and Bergdorf Goodman.

Trump, originally from Slovenia, married Donald Trump in 2005. Her husband, now the GOP presidential nominee, has taken a hard-line stance against illegal immigration and frequently promises to put a stop to illegal immigrants taking American jobs. He has in the past denied hiring illegal immigrants in his real estate projects.
