It's not like the complainers are readers of "Vogue", as it is. Even if they did give that creature a spot on their cover, the cult would not buy it anyway. They just want the excuse to whine about how poor Dear Leader and his fake wife are being abused by the "liberals."

it lessens the severity of her face. Funny that Trudeau makes her smile.

Are you suggesting she is tired of her old hubby and simply pretending to care? No doubt she has to be the widow to get a share of the money. I assume the cut-throat kids will be in a pig pile frenzy when Daddy's in the cold cold gro und.

A photo spread with Chippendales dancers where she and Donald are the only ones fully clothed would probably work for feature inside the magazine. One of them would have a good time.

Her defenders can scream til they're pink for all the good it will do. If a publisher felt they could make money off her mug, she'd be on covers every week. Maybe there is something to the criticism that her supporters can't read. They can cry and pout and demand and stamp their feet, obviously, but they can't force a company to do something that is not in that company's interest to do.

They should 'take a chill pill,' I guess. Or maybe they should adapt Melania's own motto: "She doesn't care so why should I?"

Thu Feb 13, 2020, 05:51 AM
Feb 2020

inside the magazine. It is generally an interview where they discuss what the First Lady is doing, their latest endeavors as First Lady. What the hell do you write about a houseplant?

okay, at any rate, I bet she has been on a magazine or two. Probably ones that James Woods does not buy. It is probably faux outrage. I'd be shocked if she hasn't been on the cover of one of the Christian magazines for example. And isn't Trump good friends with the guy that owns the Enquirer? I'm sure she has been on there too.. ("Melania's beauty secrets revealed" etc.).

She has to be around that shitty mess every day, and despite all the bluster and smeeeerking and evident delusion, he knows deep down inside that he'll never, ever measure up to That Black Guy he hates so much--and he lives in fear that his entire regime could collapse at any time.

Never seen/heard so much wailing, rending of garments and gnashing of teeth.

EVERYTHING that issues from their collective mouth is either: 1) Hate, in many forms; or 2) “Playing the victim.”

No one (except some idiotic males) would want to see her voluntarily at other venues - she'd just turn people away. She hates us, hates America and Americans and has made that knows every way humanly possible and we reciprocate but disdaining the porno model, liar, plaigarist, racial hater and would be grifter. The only times we've seen a real smile was when she was leaning in to Trudeau and before that PUtin.

Feb 2020

I am confused.

Right wingers always talk about the "free market" knowing what is best. When media gives Trump unlimited time for every fart that comes out of his head they say, "He sells". Perhaps it is just that Melania does not sell. She does not resonate with the average person. People want to see and hear about Michelle Obama, wonderful mother, accomplished attorney, and all around beautiful woman inside and out.

Why would they not just conclude that it is the market, demanding to see Michelle rather than Melania. All first ladies can't be like Jackie Kennedy or Michelle Obama.

There's always the possibility that her husband has asked her not to be in the public eye very much... after all, that might detract attention from HIM.

Let's be 100% honest here. For the record, I am NOT calling the FLOTUS a 'whore', but had Michelle Obama posed nude; made racy, lesbian-themed photos and in short had married a rich man in a transparent attempt to get to his money, she would have been called a slut and/or a whore and god knows what else. . . . And ALL of these insults would have come directly from right wing politicians and journalists. . . .

I, for one, am sick to DEATH of Malaria Trump and her fucking STUPID husband. Malaria should have her citizenship yanked, and she should be deported DIRECTLY back to wherever the fuck she came from. . . And her goddamned parents should be shipped back with her.
