business debts. He faces a RICO lawsuit. Lichtman who is a professor at American University was one of the only experts that declared a Trump win long before Americans took to the polls. Lichtman has previously stated that 'The media makes money by covering the election as an exciting horse race, who's had a good day and a bad day. The pollsters make money by keeping score in the horse race who's ahead and who's behind. All of that is misleading or worse.' The 'Prediction Professor' usually relies on his own system of 13 true or false statements to work out which party has the strength to win the race for the White House, declaring the rest of the election as 'meaningless', however, he claims that with this prediction he is relying on his gut instinct. Lichtman stated that 'there's a very good chance' President Trump will be impeached. 'First of all, throughout his life he has played fast and loose with the law'. He has run an illegal charity in New York state. He has made an illegal campaign contribution through that charity. He has used the charity to settle personal 8 ISSUE 93 / 2016 GUESTLIST PROFESSOR WHO HAS PREDICTED EVERY ELECTION SINCE 1984 PREDICTS TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT When we say 'fuck' as an expletive, what we mean to express is anger but what we end up expressing is hatred of the body and puritanical stigmatisation of sex. When we say 'feminism', we mean to express liberation and love but what we end up expressing is a problematic political movement. The only thing that's clear is that feminism is a part of our lives and not going anywhere, no matter what it really is, and no matter what word we use for it. For young girls, young men, the elderly, sex workers, rape victims, homeless people, models, businesswomen, businessmen, soldiers, refugees, presidents and a plethora of completely diverse other people, feminism is a weekly or daily thought, no matter what word they use for it. Feminism. Support. Overcoming insecurity. Making a friend despite differences. Learning to love someone. Changing sex. Crossing a border. Determination. Promotion. Survival. Victory. Getting tested for HIV. Getting paid. What shape does feminism take in your life? Here are three completely random ways I saw feminism take shape this year, in my life and the lives of many others. Liking Sia 'I've got an elastic heart' is one of the Australian singer's best and best-known lines. Another of her biggest hits goes 'I'm free to be the greatest here tonight'. Sia's chart-topping numbers pass the Bechdel test – instead of ranting or raving about the pains or wonders of love, she sings about winning and empowerment, encouraging independent happiness and success beyond happiness and success in relationships. I'm more of a chin-strokey techno kind of girl but my music taste expanded to Sia out of solidarity. Reading Cherrie Moraga This is a bit of a wildcard on this list, as I recognise that not many people read poems so this could be as close to an unhelpful feminist suggestion as feminist suggestions come. However, discovering and recognising powerful, influential women is a huge part of reaching gender equality, a struggle as it is to get female talent recognised. Cherrie Moraga said the following: The bridge I must be Is the bridge to my own power I must translate My own fears Mediate My own weaknesses I must be the bridge to nowhere But my true self And then I will be useful Buying a mooncup The tampon tax plagues women the world over, charging them for a natural bodily function. The mooncup is tidy, cheap, environmentally friendly sanitary protection. They should be free but nothing's perfect. Mooncups cost about £20 and last years, saving money and preventing tonnes of waste going into landfill. Ocean Conservancy volunteers collected 27,938 used tampons and applicators on beaches on a single day (International Coastal Cleanup, 2013). WHAT SHAPE DOES FEMINISM TAKE IN YOUR LIFE? The police were allegedly using Facebook to target activists and journalists at the gathering of over 90 Native American tribes protesting against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. With Facebook users across The Americas, Europe and even further afield checking-in, Check-ins had risen from roughly 140,000 to over 870,000 by yesterday afternoon, showing the depth of support from around the globe for the Native American protesters. Seen by many as one of the frontline battlegrounds against climate change and corporate greed, there have been shocking reports at Standing Rock of both brutal treatment of the protesters by the local police as well as journalists and celebrities being arrested on false grounds to prevent them publicising the events on the ground. Over a hundred arrests have already been made as the protesters are preparing for a final stand against the authorities. The origins of the post calling for check-ins at Standing Rock are unknown, but the Morton County Sheriff's Department have subsequently released a statement declaring that they have not and are not following Facebook check-ins at the protest site or any location. Native American protesters and climate change supporters claim that the Dakota Access Pipeline will be jeopardising the supply of fresh water to the reservation, which has a Native Indian Sioux population of over 8,000. With similar projects in the U.S such as the ExxonMobil oil spill in Montana showing the likelihood of the protesters claims to be true, the protesters are more than ready to dig in and stand up for their rights to land and clean water, a cause that has served to historically unify all the Native Indian tribes in the U.S. on an unprecedented scale.

He has now predicted that Trump will be removed from office.
