What does that have to with the oddity of choosing to move to and attend college in Seattle by herself with a newborn in the fall of 1961 instead of resuming classes in Hawaii where her husband and parents could help with the baby?

This article makes a lot of sense about why it could have happened. She loved Seattle and wanted to go to college there, but parents dragged her to Hawaii and said she had to go to college there since she was under 18. Sounds like her short marriage was troubled too. Makes enough sense to say "Screw them" and go back to Seattle for college. It was going to be rough anyway, but if she was on the outs with her parents and husband, it wouldn't necessarily be helpful to be around them. I bet she had friends in Seattle that helped.

No one has said that Trump knew about the hacking, but there is little doubt that it occurred. No one thinks it really affected the outcome. You'd have to be a fool not to think that Comey's announcement that he was re- opening the Clinton investigation right before the election was probably the death knell to an unpopular candidacy. Trump didn't control that.

Members of Trumps cabinet do have business with Russia that is effected by American sanctions there. Lying about that is what got Flynn fired. Trump also has business in Russia and has expressed admiration for Putin many times.

Obsma's father was probably Muslim, but Obama was raised by his white midwestern maternal grandparents. Doubt if they were reading the Koran.

With what money? Plane ticket? Rent an apartment? Enroll in college courses? Etc... How did all that get paid for?

Savings likely. She took night classes. More plausible than secretly (because no records of Americans coming from Kenya that year) going to Kenya and such.

Savings? At age 18, you think she would have enough "savings" to pay for an airline ticket, rent an apartment for a year, buy food clothing, etc., for herself and a newborn, and enroll in classes at UW in Seattle, and pay a babysitter while she was in classes? From what job?

Given the odd Seattle stint of Mother and newborn baby with no apparent financial support, a birth in Seattle or nearby Canada seems far more likely.

Shhhhh.... all this basic math (1+1=2), linking facts which goes against their meme will make their heads hurt if they actually think critically. So, they choose to be selectively ignorant.

What else can they do with a dying belief system? It's a matter of ideological survival.

and yet the 1961 HI birth index and two contemporaneous birth announcements ( with information received from the HI department of health ) show he was born in hawaii.
