When it comes to the wife initiating a divorce it is a whole different issue. It’s not even called divorce, it’s called khula which literally means taking off as in taking off clothes or jewelry. What the woman has to do is prove that the husband did something. Abuse whether physical or verbal does not get a woman far in court even with a medical report because the Saudi judges tend to believe that she probably did something to provoke it. The only proof that will absolve the woman and get her treated favorably is one of three; proof that the husband is a drug addict, has AIDS or being a daughter of a VIP. Otherwise the process is stressful, expensive and might lead to her never seeing her children again. In one case the judge and his assistants demanded from the wife that she detail her husband’s performance in bed. Another woman had to pay her dowry back in full after more than a decade of marriage and four children. Some of those years she financially supported her then husband and yet she still had to give back the money he spent on her as a young bride and give up child custody completely. To rub salt into injury, she was hushed in court while listening to the guy tell everyone there including her father and brothers how horny she was and that she wouldn’t be doing this unless she had someone else in mind to marry.

actually I am having a problem with the idea that he wants to drag the lewinski affair back up, as an attack on hillary. that's just off base. he can love sharia law all he wants, heck he can move to the middle east if he likes it that much. he just can institute it here in the states...
but, I think he wouldn't want his daughter living under the saudi system...

Popick claimed the Trump campaign failed to allow the group to set up a table to sell CDs at a rally and then, after making a trek from Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, canceled the Freedom Kids' scheduled performance. He said the Trump campaign never made the situation right and that it was worth legal action.
"This is the way they played us," he said. "They can only ignore us for so long."
He threatened to sue in late July, when he recounted the story in full to CNN. Popick said he believes the case will go to trial, although his lawyer said, "These types of things should be settled."

I'm sorry but weather or not the guy will pay those our gov't contracts with more relevant the sexual plays of bill clinton! especially to those that it contracts with...
The papers offer a look at Hillary Clinton’s mindset through some of the most difficult parts of her husband’s presidency, including the Monica Lewinsky scandal. According to the friend, Diane Blair -- a political science professor whose papers were donated to the University of Arkansas Special Collections library – Hillary Clinton credited Bill Clinton with trying to break away from Lewinsky, whom she called a “narcissistic loony toon.”

no where in that article does it indicate that she was an enabler, and, she is not the first women who's called their husband's mistress mean names. It's probably quite common, even for us normal folks who don't have to deal with the stress and headaches of the media circus and all the other headaches of being the first lady. wonder what newt gringrich's wife called his mistress in her private conversations with friends, or any of the high ranking congressmen that took the fall when their sexual misadventures became public knowledge.
Do you want to see how instead of confronting her husband she instead attacked all the victims?

it might be how we get into debt up to our necks, and like I said, weather you thinks it's good or bad.. (actually, I think it was a bad mistake) it is what we got at the moment. our gov't has it's hands in just about everything, giving contracts to their friends, overpaying for the goods and services, and, not really caring about the quality, or weather or not the good's were ever delivered. we need to change the situation, but, we need to do it in a sane manner. trumps method of just not paying after the product or service is delivered if he feels like it just doesn't sound like the best method to go. too much money involved, and too many employees would be affected, I think after the first few times, we'd see the stocks of some companies tank if we cut what is basically a form of corporate welfare. they don't what the quality is, or even if it even gets delivered, it's creating or sustaining jobs, it's propping up communities, it portraying a better picture of the economy for us to see. that is all they care about, especially if it's going to the community that contains the voters that they are hoping support them when it's election time!
