The birtherism. Plagiarizing Michelle Obama's speech. Excusing Trump's "locker room" talk. Ignoring her husband's bigotry and foul comments and lies, and now the trolling coat.
The media needs to stop presenting her as a good person.
When someone tells you her they are, believe them.

(5,762 posts)Let me be clear. I think sex work is as honorable as any work. She leveraged her sex work quite cannily to land where she has. That makes her cold-blooded and calculating, which are qualities valued by the yam, and necessary for her position.
She's a whore for carrying water for that morally bankrupt man. And she's demonstrated that she is morally bankrupt herself. It's the only way to get where she has.
To paraphrase Stephen Jay Gould, she is as we find her.

I've heard supporters of -45 say that they don't like him personally, "but the economy......". Well, I still think that economy thing is going to end catastrophically. But even if the whole world is swimming in wealth someday because of -45's supposed business skills, how can anyone with morals and good character support a person so decrepit and evil? Sickens me.

'Fox and fiends' is no longer calling the shots for this administration?
I say this because of all the television news media stations FOX is the only outlet that deals in "fake news" on a perpetual basis. This can be proved very easily, but FOX viewers wouldn't believe facts anyway. They never have, which is why FOX is their choice for right-wing propaganda. They only want "news" that supports their right-wing world view.
As we all know, the truth has a definite liberal bias.

Running against Claudia Tenney.
Meet Anthony
snip//
My opponent, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, and I couldnt be more different. Rep. Tenney has not been independent and is not motivated by doing whats best for her constituents; rather, she has been marching in lockstep with the hard right on critical issues that affect all of our lives.
Not only was Rep. Tenney one of the biggest supporters in Congress for the ill-conceived healthcare plan, but she took a party bus to the White House after the vote to celebrate a cruel plan that raises premiums on families, guts protections for pre-existing conditions and would kick tens of thousands of Upstate New Yorkers off their healthcare. Her healthcare plan even raises taxes on veterans who choose not to receive their healthcare from an overburdened VA.
Furthermore, Rep. Tenney supports more tax breaks for corporations that keep jobs overseas and for the wealthiest people in America, while I believe tax breaks should go to hardworking middle-class families and small businesses.
More..

Good Luck to Anthony Brindisi.. he seems really smart.. and if he wins Good Luck on that whole bi-partisan thing in DC!

My guess? Stephen Miller or Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen bought it for her to wear. I cannot see Melania deigning to shop for a $39 jacket.

People need to stop excusing her just because she fell into the position of First Lady. She belongs with the grifters because she is one.

Even the most expensive perfume can't wash off that stench. And as long as she keeps shoving her husband's money down her coin slot, she continues to be a whore.
Rorey
(8,514 posts)It's limp and lifeless. I suspect that the reason she wears it with the front down in that weird trumpish way is to hide a hairline being pulled back by face lifts.
Maybe I'm being petty, but I don't find much about her to be aesthetically pleasing. Her "kidney procedure" (
) just made her look more artificial.
On the outside she's artificial, and on the inside she's vacant.

Rorey
(8,514 posts)But I'm just not sure that those who think she's anything remotely close to beautiful can see through the makeup and cosmetic procedures. And that normal expression on her face can't be hidden by a ton of makeup.
I'm a fan of the natural look, so I suppose I am not a good judge. A few days ago I was outside talking to my neighbor and she complimented my hair and asked if I had lightened it. I laughed and said, no, it was just a bit more gray. I feel just fine being me.

(31,170 posts)The Velveteen Ocelot
(130,533 posts)I'm sure she pays much more than that for a pair of underpants. Only the little people buy cheap clothes - unless there's an ulterior motive. At first I thought she was just being typically tone-deaf, but when it turned out she was still wearing the thing when she left AF1 on her return to DC (and it was 80+ in D.C., no jacket needed), I concluded she had to be trolling. Whether it was her own troll or Spanky's isn't clear, but it had to be intentional.

Her action discarding all GOP/trump bullshit was still disgraceful and disgusting considering the mission to Texas....completely void of compassion and humanity.
To say it was about fake news, parade out front of the white House in the jacket, not on trip of "compassion ". We got a glimpse of the true Melania and the people inside trumps whitehouse, the racism is oozing. She is a dimestore skank and I apologize if that insults skanks.

This is not just another typical, average, normal POTUS by any stretch; by extension alone, she cannot be considered typical or within the norm for FLOTUS. And as you pointed out so well, by her own behavior there is no way anyone, especially the media, can or should give her any credibility as being a normal FLOTUS. He and she are an aberration, a distant marker outside the norm who should be castigated as opposed to normalized by the press. Shame on (and fuck) them!

She just doesn't understand how the deplorables would welcome her coat and how mademoiselle guillotine is hungry for a new Marie Antoinette. Let them eat cake! The hanging of the Ceausescu's in Romania! She just doesn't understand. We need someone to go on youtube like that guy did for Britney Spears and say, "You're lucky she performs for you at all."
Jump the shark anyone? Meanwhile the suffering continues...and grows. Hey, it's Friday, plenty of time for the Great Gatsby Donald to blame the media, the Democrats or whomever for the mess that he's created and then move on to the next fiasco. The rich really are different. Sadly, the masses are clueless and when the next 2008 comes, they won't rise up and wipe out the rich.

madaboutharry
(42,033 posts)His guests were discussing that they thought Melania was actually trolling Trump. Regardless, what Melania did in wearing that jacket was wrong. If she trolls her husband through her outfits that is her business, no matter how weird that may be. But yesterday was suppose to be about a serious crisis. It wasn't the time or place to be sending messages to anyone. It was wrong of her because it could be interpreted in a way that would be hurtful to people.
Only a selfish and self-involved person wouldn't have taken that in consideration.

Its disgusting. If she wants to act like a hypocritical rich beyotch, thats on her. but it bugs me that she is in the same office as Lady Bird and Michelle, and even Laura. I don't think its wrong of me to expect a certain reverence and love for the USA from our first lady. She is degrading the office.
