"Who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decoration?"

[pennylane100]

1. Sounds about right.

[elleng]

4. PERFECT.

[Gregory Peccary]

2. I assume this is not a "virtual" tour - that's not how the Trumps roll

So how do you host a preview without actually being there?

[northoftheborder]

7. "The office of .... will host"

I'll bet FLOTUS is already in New York.

[csziggy]

10. Key phrase - "the Office of the First Lady"

So her office personnel will host. Melania would still be having her makeup troweled on that early.

[kpete]

3. mr pete & I

are laughing our heads off
thanks, funniest thing I have heard in weeks

peace,
kp

[cyndensco]

18. You just can't make this stuff up.

[Botany]

5. Malenia will be in NYC "visiting" her special friend Hank

[Demsrule86]

27. I thought she looked really happy at the White House in her cape...smiling away.

She is glad it is over.

[bottomofthehill]

39. Is Frank her boyfriend or KGB handler.

[Bucky]

89. Hank

[GoneOffShore]

94. Hank, Frank, Frank Hank? Hanky Panky in any case.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

76. She's in NYC looking for her new home after she divorces Fat Donnie.

Half million a month alimony should handle it.

[slater71]

100. Could be. She flew to NYC every month for a hair cut and maybe some Hank.

[CTyankee]

6. She flew the coop.

I bet we never see her again...

[durablend]

16. Bye Felicia!

[Retrograde]

22. And that would suit me fine

Now, if we could just find a way of not paying for her for the rest of her life...

[Demsrule86]

29. If she divorces Trump do we have to pay for her?

[Disaffected]

26. Also flew the coup.

[renate]

63. LOL!

[chia]

68. haha love that

[onetexan]

48. she's meeting w/ her lawyer for a quick divorce & bail to her home country of Slovenia

[Mike Nelson]

8. Great news!

... imagine the right-wing outrage if Michelle Obama showed a Meliana-level dislike for Christmas!

[Greybnk48]

9. Melania puts the "Fer da cri-yi" back in Christmas. n/t

[gratuitous]

11. Don't they mean the Third Lady?

Busy packing, I suppose.

[Roland99]

30. "The First Escort"

[roamer65]

70. The First Sex Worker.

[catbyte]

12. Well, she has been the most non-essential worker since January 20, 2017. Why start now?

[demmiblue]

15. !

[highplainsdem]

13. She won't be missed. I can't wait for Christmas 2021 with the Bidens' decorations & Champ & Major

helping show off a truly festive, welcoming White House.

[demmiblue]

19. That reminds me of this:

[Tanuki]

28. Thanks! That brought a smile to my face!

💕🐕🎄🎁☃️🎅🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🛷🌞

[Demsrule86]

37. Bo is the cutest dog...I also liked Bush's dogs Spot and Barney. Barney was a rascal kind of like my

Pom. AndI love cats so Socks was a great first cat. And I remember Millie too Bush I's dog...it is amazing how much you kind of know and love first pets. Biden dog's are such babies...big old lap dogs. I have always like German Shepards although never owned one because I am a terrible dog trainer. I need small dogs that I can scoop up and carry away.

[William Seger]

49. Bo looks exactly like a stuffed animal - the stuffed Bo was brilliant

[Demsrule86]

88. He was just lovely...and he came from Ted Kennedy too.

[Larissa]

67. I loved the Bush dog, Barney

He was stubborn. It was hysterical to me when Bush would give him an order that he'd ignore.

[Demsrule86]

86. Barney was such a scamp...reminds me of my dog...I give my dog an order and he looks at me

in a calculating way...sometime he listens but much of the time he doesn't. He is a blue Pom...

[MyOwnPeace]

71. And don't forget Lyndon Johnson

pulling the beagle's ears!


https://groovyhistory.com/lbj-dog-ears-beagle-lyndon-johnson

[Demsrule86]

83. I don't remember Johnson but looked it up adorable.

[MyOwnPeace]

84. That's OK, kid!!!!

He actually got himself into a bit of a stew with that!

[Demsrule86]

85. Did he...how so?

[MyOwnPeace]

97. Here 'ya go!

From the AKC - and they even named it "Beaglegate!"

https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/lifestyle/pup-culture-50-years-later-lbjs-still-in-the-doghouse/

[lindysalsagal]

42. I never saw that! how adorable!

Bo is so good at posing for pictures!

[LiberalLovinLug]

65. Trump was the first President in a hundred years that did not have a pet dog

Loving animals is one trait I think is important for the top boss. Empathy and love for other animals reflects a persons empathy for other humans too.

[PunksMom]

20. Me too!

[Kittycow]

24. Too bad we don't have a First Feline...

A real inquisitive one

[Demsrule86]

90. I have a Siamese cat...quite an interesting breed...when we allowed our cats outside, our

first Siamese cat followed the kids to school. Often I would get a call from the office to come pick up the cat which sat outside of the youngest child's classroom wailing- siamese yowls.

[Kittycow]

96. Haha.. just like Mary had a little lamb.

We had to put a test Christmas tree up last year with shatterproof ornaments to see how our young rescued Siamese mix would do. I was pleasantly surprised, Lili was very curious but respectful. I'm still going to start slow this year with the plastic ornaments first in case she changed

[Takket]

14. Good. Seems silly to have someone that hates the tradition in attendance anyway

[Rebl2]

50. Absolutely right!

Doubtful she ever celebrated Christmas when she was young. She should lose her citizenship as well as her parents. Send them back to their home country.

[malaise]

17. I didn't know you could host something and not be there

Whatever!

[RandySF]

21. 'I mean, who gives a fuck.'

[TommyCelt]

47. Not me...

I don't care, do you?

[MoonRiver]

25. Can't wait until these psycho grifters are GONE!

[marlakay]

31. I find it interesting that Fox is real silent

About Christmas attacks since it came out about her hating doing Christmas.

[Tanuki]

33. That's probably why they've ginned up the heretofore unheard of

"Liberals' War on Thanksgiving" this year. AFAIK, Melanie #BeGone hasn't been caught on tape (yet) venting her foul-mouthed contempt for celebrating that particular holiday.

[marlakay]

35. War on Thanksgiving? Ha ha

That could only mean us protecting people by telling them to stay home alone or with very few.

[Tanuki]

32. Much as I also hate Ivanka, it would be funny if she decided to troll and upstage

her stepmom by offering to step in and lead the tour.

[Drahthaardogs]

34. Yay! Maybe the Whitehouse won't look like a botched colonoscopy

This year!

[lunatica]

55. LOL!

This gave me a chuckle and reminded me of Giuliani’s sweating shit for brains. Now THAT was botched!

[Johnny2X2X]

36. So touching

Link to tweet

?s=20

[lunatica]

59. That's the sincerest 'best' wishes they've ever shown!

[smirkymonkey]

77. +1000

[qwlauren35]

38. It's a big deal to some people.

White House Employees and Secret Service members get a special gift every Christmas - a custom ornament. I have seen them and they are beautiful. I think there are some people who are invited to bring their children to see the decorations. Not sure how that will happen this year.

Christmas is very meaningful to a lot of people, as are White House traditions.

[judesedit]

40. They have the worst taste in everything lol

[iluvtennis]

41. She's on tape saying "She hated fking Christmas", so who needs her. #BeGone. nt

[matt819]

43. Hmm. . .

She has demonstrated for years that she's as vile as her husband.

That said, is there a pool for how long before she files for divorce?

Of course, it depends on the pre-nup. If it's unbreakable, then the pool should be for how long before she stops living in the same house as the vile creature soon to vacate the White House. Will she even remain in the same state? Same country? I'm thinking that she'll take her son to England where he will attend some elite public (private) school and she can live a relatively low-profile life. After all, what is the up-side of her remaining with said vile creature and parroting his perverse utterances?

Oh, and if there is pool on either divorce or living apart, I'm choosing January 21, January 31 at the latest.

[Ziggysmom]

44. Trump doesn't like pets but loves him some hoes!!

https://people.com/pets/donald-trump-thinks-pets-are-low-class/

[Hekate]

93. Especially ironic because she hates gardens and gardening

Places you...need...to have a hoe
Yeah. Right.

[lindysalsagal]

45. and the xtian fundies will STILL claim he's the christian potus savior

people are just fools

[Marcuse]

46. What, me care?

[OMGWTF]

61. I saw a meme of this photo with the trees wearing "handmaiden" hats.

Why does Mel have her coat on?

[smirkymonkey]

79. This one was my favorite...

[LudwigPastorius]

81. "Why does Mel have her coat on?"

I believe all reptiles are ectothermic.

[LiberalFighter]

51. There was another President that didn't have a First Lady.

[LudwigPastorius]

52. Thank god poor Mel doesn't have to pretend to care about her job any more.

[GoneOffShore]

95. I'm guessing this is sarcastic. 'Poor Mel' indeed. She grifted into the country.

She's as ugly as Diaper Don.

[Renew Deal]

53. I am OK with the first lady not being forced to figure out decorations.

And although I'm confident a "first gentleman" won't mind doing it, he shouldn't be expected to either.

[Kitchari]

54. "The office of the Worst Lady"

There, I fixed it

[Blue Owl]

91. Bwah!

[jcgoldie]

56. Putin approved her early retirement

Good job comrade there's no-one who could have carried that orange buffoon across the finish line a 2nd time!

[nolabear]

57. Wow, thanks. I followed him. Some great stuff.

And Melania can GFH.

[marble falls]

58. She's sick of the Trump WH ...

Like Charles Foster Kane's second wife was of Xanadu.

[SheltieLover]

60. Creeeesmus

At least russian ASSet Malaria will not be present.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

[bluescribbler]

62. If history is any guide,

It will be fugly. That's how they roll.

[keithbvadu2]

64. Donald Trump Wished Everyone 'Happy Holidays' When Obama Was Saying 'Merry Christmas'

Donald Trump Wished Everyone 'Happy Holidays' When Obama Was Saying 'Merry Christmas'

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-barack-obama-christmas-758794

[TomDaisy]

66. LOL! Yeah, I bet she won't be in attendance.

[NBachers]

69. They could just place a cardboard cutout of her, and no one would know the difference.

[NRaleighLiberal]

72. perfect Melanoma Fuck You Christmas Wishes!!!

I Really Don't Care Do You????

[Larissa]

73. Face masks optional as usual?

[TNNurse]

75. I absolutely do not care.

[moondust]

78. Take the prenup and run?

First Arm Candy had enough?

[MyOwnPeace]

80. HA!

At first glance I saw "White House" and "First Lady" and I thought perhaps we'd see her tossing BunkerBoy's clothing over the railing of the White House balcony!
Now THAT would be something I would watch!

[Piasladic]

82. ho ho ho

I do wish they'd stop spending our money.

[Seasider]

87. Since Duhhnald lost, she does not want to do the f---ing creessmaahss anymore.

[Blue Owl]

92. Someone tell Bill O'Rielly they found the Ho

In Ho Ho Ho

[George II]

98. They found all three - Melania, Ivanka, and Gargoyle.

[DFW]

99. You know what is an even better image of the holiday decor at the White House?

It's when there is a president in there who knows how to have a few friends over without allowing a pandemic to spread so pervasively that the whole party has to be canceled!


It's also fun when you strike a pose and a previous president finds it so fitting as to get himself painted in the same pose:
