From the Guardian review:
She glides from the fashion fitting to the table setting, and from the “candlelit dinner” to the “starlight ball”, with a face like a fist and a voice of sheet metal. “Candlelight and black tie and my creative vision,” she says, as though listing the ingredients in a cauldron. “As first lady, children will always remain my priority,” she coos, and you can almost picture her coaxing them into her little gingerbread house.

He or she nailed Melania.

Just like Jeffrey Epstein did. Probably no mention of Esptein in this film, I'm guessing.

But in her substandard English, she’s implying that children are the First Lady.

She should either learn proper English or go back where she came from. (I dare a right-winger to argue with that).

"candlelight and black tie ......"

Marie Antoinette comes to mind.

And she has no idea that every single thing she does and touches is gaudy and ridiculous, reeking of dirty Slovenian peasant. Just like Donnie's ideas of decor and decorum. What rednecks think being rich looks like.

I think not. And all laughs heal. 🌞

We all need laughter now more than ever.





Love you. ❤️

performed surgery. I see Alan Alda turned 90 the other day. Damn! Those episodes of MASH are just as good today as they were over 50 years ago.

Poor Abe, wish he were president now.

I'm grateful that we still have him. So many cast members from MASH are gone now. But the legacy of that series endures.

My source tells me that his next tour de force will be called "Fart: A Day in the Life of Donald Trump".

"Now that's entertainment the whole family can enjoy!" said Jeff Bezos, while writing out another $40 million check to Melania's production company.

My favorite line:

This is American history through the idiosyncratic prism of a woman who is part-puppet of the regime, part-delusional creative, and part-symbol of America’s immigrant community.
