She’s in Grand Rapids MI according to her twitter account.

Aimee was in Aberdeen until at least yesterday

I have my Twitter location set as "on a glittery rainbow" or something like that. I'm not really in a glittery rainbow.

Good work by the Coventry Observer. And I agree, DonQuixote, this is what local journalism should do, and it puts most of the national press to shame.

Vodaphone UK on the first update - in the UK, then, not the US.

That’s gotta be the kiss of death. Silly Warren - who is advising here on the whole gender aspect of the campaign? Way to tank your career...

MingeofDeath · 21/02/2020 12:19

Is it possible that Aimee is working on the, now dead in the water, Warren campaign for US voters who are overseas?

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 11:55

Exactly - I don’t just rock up! I’ve got enough family who have moved over there to know that you don’t just roll up, get married and get a job without a few weeks!

It can be possible to get a US work permit if you are married to someone resident in the States but this depends on their status. Citizen or those holding certain sorts of visas. Those without work permits are often effectively prohibited from volunteering, a real bore for ex-pat spouses.

However:

  1. It takes at least three months for the US to process the paperwork.
  2. There is enough in Aimee's past, including that weird stuff that happened in Birmingham when they are about 15, to jeopardise even residency let alone a work permit. (Too lazy to look it up, and don't want to break MN rules. I assume US immigration use google, and having your personal information collated by the Farmers is not good news.)

If Aimee does not have residency, boasting of donating to US politicians is not a good move. I note that allegations of Russians trying to influence the election in favour of Trump are resurfacing. Other foreigners, with interesting backgrounds, donating (albeit threepence ha'penny) to Warren is a potential gotcha.

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 10:05

Oh well, someone must getting confused about facts then.

Amalfimamma · 21/02/2020 10:03

Aimee has been the uk since mid December after marrying their dubious partner.

I therefore can't understand how they are donating to and volunteering for Warren..

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 09:04

Although not surprising though. It’s a bit like the predator films where the beastie pops up wherever it sees ‘heat’ from human beings (knocking seven bells out of each other).

wonderstuff · 21/02/2020 09:01

Disappointing.

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 08:51

Can’t be a US citizen - it really doesn’t work like that - or that fast. Fantasy land resident more like.

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 08:50

It’s only a matter of time before the past rises from the grave.

AmIInvisible · 21/02/2020 08:49

Aimee also tweeted this yesterday implying a Aimee made a donation supporting Elizabeth Warren. Interestingly the first rule of donating is "I am a US Citizens or lawfully admitted permanent resident (ie green card holder)" . Must be really quick and easy to get a green card in the US.

As for EW and the T - her stance is nothing to see, be kind women.

I mean, when you look at recent precedents you have to conclude Aimee jumping aboard might not be the best news for your campaign...

Needmoresleep · 21/02/2020 08:20

Note the name change. Knight not Challenor. Aimee seems to have married their American fiance.

I assume Aimee is now Ova There.

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 08:07

Warren is a disgrace - she is an absolute idiot and will hand bloody trump the election.

How is this person even working in the states? You don’t just rock up and get a job. But then truth or very fluid in some...

Freespeecher · 21/02/2020 07:58

No time stamp on the tweet but the wheels seem to have fallen off the Warren campaign. Did badly in Iowa and New Hampshire.

NewNameEveryWeek · 21/02/2020 07:44

For those unfamiliar with US Politics, Elizabeth Warren has definitely drunk the Kool-Aid on trans issues.

The city of Coventry sighs in relief

AnyOldSpartabix · 21/02/2020 07:16

Aimee seems to have a canny knack of getting onboard with political folk though so I guess watch this space...

Aimee has recognised Aimee’s brand is now too toxic for the UK and has gone somewhere Aimee’s history is less well-known, and where transactivism is subject to much less push-back at present.

OvaHere · 21/02/2020 01:49

Yes you're right. By working for I meant in a volunteering sense.

AnotherLass · 21/02/2020 01:39

I don't think that this shows that she is working for the campaign in an official capacity. She links to the website where you can sign up to volunteer. Anyone can volunteer for anyone.
