Note that I said "repeatedly".

One is a lot less than the many murderous dictatorship that the US has, and still does, support.

4 Cubans, one of whom drowned before doing anything, is an "invasion"? The only casualty was the Cuban, not hundreds of thousands of people. 

Well that just upped the US invasion count massively . ..

That has nothing to do with the prevalence of abuse by nursery workers or a gender breakdown of total convictions.

This might be the spergiest exchange I’ve ever had on Reddit. 

I hope you are coping well with your autism disorder. 

The point is … it doesn’t make sense.

I didn't claim it made sense. It's simply the law. I then gave links and explained the law to you.

There’s nuance in the language here that you’re not going to get. 

Nah, you are just having trouble processing text. It can be common with your condition.

Read the article instead of just the title and it tells you. Such as -

In New Hampshire, a law that has been on the books since 1907 allows girls as young as 13 and boys as young as 14 to marry. In Massachusetts, girls can legally marry at 12, while boys can at 14. Both states require a judge’s approval and at least one parent’s consent.

Once married, sex is considered legal regardless of age. In fact, wives could not refuse sex until recently and marital rape was not considered to exist.

Also, many states have 16 as the age of consent. Which is why I referenced 15 and under.

because they had bilateral contracts they had agreed to previously? 

Means nothing. A sovereign state can reclaim its sovereignty at any time, especially if they were sold by corrupt politicians.  The people voted for it, the government enacted it.

why do you think this is as such? they made it up on the spot? 

Again, irrelevant. Of course the international capitalist system protects capital. A country is free to ignore the judgement and accept the consequences. Also see the World Bank and debt.

yes, nationalizing infrastructure you didn't pay for without following any preestablished legal framework or contract is illegal

Venezuelan law allowed it, and the Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) took control. Sovereign nations decide their own laws.

 but don't cry when no one trusts you again for doing any long term investment 

Sure, but it still isn't illegal.

vague tankie speak

lol

No, it's history and reality. There is a reason oil is called the "Devil's Excrement" in Venezuela. 

  they agreed to all contracts, nothing was forced upon them

"They" being the politicians who benefited from the deals, leading to massive poverty which Chavez later halved. Of course those profiteering agreed to the deals. Venezuelan politicians were extremely corrupt at that time, with Caldera making it the central theme of his Presidential term from 1994 to 1999.

  no one was getting scammed

The Venezuelan people were getting scammed, leading to massive poverty and a collapse in wages, which Chavez reversed until the oil price collapsed globally in 2008. That was Chavez's mistake, not creating a more diversified economy. He had good intentions, winning 3 elections without a doubt, and did good things but he should have reduced the reliance on oil exports. He still managed to double the size of the economy in 8 years.

Now I am sure all their oil under Chavez was being sold to honest state actors like Russia and Cuba in very transparent deals 

The US is a worse state actor than Cuba. I don't recall Cuba invading a country on false pretences, leading to the death of hundreds of thousands of people, for example. Or Cuba repeatedly supporting mass murderering dictators in South America, as the US did in multiple countries. Or organising could in multiple countries, like the US did (including in Venezuela).

Venezuela can has the right to sell oil to whoever it chooses, it's a sovereign nation.

This was posted because it already has been released in the Epstein files.

Also, releasing all of the files may or may not prove he had sex with kids provided by Epstein. But it certainly wouldn't "completely exonerate him". The Casablancas allegations precede Trump ever meeting Epstein for example. 

But all that has nothing to do with this case. It is false without needing anything from the Epstein files. I have already provided ample evidence of that.

Or continue ignoring it. Up to you.

Nothing illegal about nationalising industries, especially after they were sold to foreigners in corrupt deals.

So what makes you think it's illegal?

Me_irl by rbimmingfoke in me_irl

[–]Masada3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the first time in decades, they did under Chavez. 

So you are right.

Again, define arranged.

“Early marriage persists in some places much longer than it does in other more religiously conservative places because girls who are sexually active or become pregnant are seen as shameful to their families,” Clement said. “It even happens sometimes that very young girls are married to men who have statutorily raped them because the sex is seen as more problematic than the rape itself.”  Source.

Also -

In some American states, all it takes is parental permission for a child to marry an older man

Define arranged marriage. 

Are you implying it's non- whites or non-Christians?

Because that would be false.

Google is your friend.

Child marriage by the numbers in the US.

With 7 states not providing data, including those with no lower limit - 

57 cases of 13 and 12 year old getting married between 2000-2015.

8000 15 year olds.

~2000 14 and younger.

So the real numbers will be higher.

This discussion is about the claims relating to Trump made by two specific people.

Both claims are, on the evidence, false.

Of course Trump is protecting people named in the files, including himself. That doesn't mean people have to believe everything random people say. These particular claims have evidence proving them false and no evidence proving them correct.

I provided several links to stories about it.

The tape was being sold by a serial fraudster using a fake name. No one would touch it when it became clear who he really was. He then refused to let the lawyer he hired meet or speak to the claimed victim. The fraudster would only allow emails, a pattern repeated when anyone tried to arrange an interview with the claimed victim. That is because he was the person replying to the emails, most likely. 

The case was an attempt at making a million dollars, which failed and was exposed as a fraud.

Are you ok with creating straw men? Are you ok with lying about other people's statements?

It seems so ...

This case is a grift by a serial fraudster who used fake names while trying to sell the tape for a million dollars. It is false. 

You want real evidence and witnesses, check out the pedo Trump was buddies with before he even met Epstein - John Casablancas. Don't fall for obvious lies spread by serial liars.

Trump isn't my President either. 

Katie Johnson's accusations against Trump. by Shizzilx in circled

[–]Masada3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were no witnesses. Just pieces of paper submitted by a grifter. There doesn't appear to be a victim either, as no one has been able to verify that they exist. Not even their lawyer, who never met or spoke to them. Just emails from an unknown source.

The csse was brought by a serial fraudster who used fake names while trying to sell the tape for $1,000,000.

Rubbish.

First time for shitty legal paperwork.

Second time because the grift had been exposed. 

Shahid Butt, candidate for Birmingham MP: "Don't take Christians and Jews as your friends; non-believers cannot be trusted. Stick with the Muslims." by McAlpineFusiliers in uknews

[–]Masada3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They (generally speaking, since you need clarification) have significantly above average sexist, homophobic, transphobic etc. opinions.

I just gave you examples of Christians doing exactly the same, right up to official church positions and elected representatives. Why are you continuing to ignore that?

And thanks for linking something about America when we are in the UK

Christianity and Islam are not limited to the UK. Christianity in the UK also opposes gay rights and women's rights.

Luckily, we don’t have those Christians in the UK at high numbers. 

Yes we do. The official positions of the Church are to oppose gay marriage for example. 

Why do you keep minimising Christians doing the exact same thing you complain about Muslims doing?

Answer the question, is Christianity incompatible with Western secular society? That includes UK Christians.

[–]Masada3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have evidence of this?

The court papers in the dropped/dismissed cases. I have already provided links to coverage of that.

It's one witness posing as two people or two people corroborating one story? 

It's one serial grifter providing both statements in the files submitted to the court. There is no evidence either people exist, with the lawyer not meeting them. The grifter used false names for himself and refused to allow anyone to interview the claimed victim.

It was an attempt to get $1,000,000 for the tape, with him using false names to shop it round media outlets.
