Melania Trump’s girl-on-girl photos from racy shoot revealed (WARNING - NUDITY at link)
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by mcar (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).
Source: NEW YORK POST
The lesbian-themed pics are from a two-day photo shoot in Manhattan in 1995, when Melania Knauss, as she was called, was 25 years old and modeling under the name Melania K.
Several were featured in Max Magazine, a now-defunct French mens monthly, more than 20 years ago. Others have never been in print until now.
The raciest of the photos shows Melania lying nude in a bed as Scandinavian model Emma Eriksson, also naked, embraces her from behind, just below her breasts, which are fully exposed.

DOES THE REV. BILLY GRAHAM'S SON STILL ENDORSE THE TRUMP?

Of course, most of the holier than thou RW fundamentalist crowd might find another use for the photos...

(26,848 posts)you does also make a good point. There's also the remote possibility Murdoch doesn't see Il Douche the same way Jabba the Ailes does.

(2,322 posts)Unless they're condeming some very visible and important democrat for taking photos like that 20 years ago, or if these photos were taken this year, and they're ignoring that fact. But so long as those pictures were 20 years ago, and so long as the person in them renounces them and says they were wrong, then there' no hypocrisy.
Right Wing Fundies are "consistent" in forgiving such things so long as the person involved admits they made a mistake, are sorry, and are very against it now.
Hypocrisy is their condemnation of democrats for not being religious enough, yet embracing Trump who almost never goes to church, doesn't belong to one, doesn't seem to pray and, compared to Obama and Clinton, is a religious ignoramous.
63splitwindow
(2,657 posts)And NO, I personally don't consider her posing a "mistake." It is the obvious hypocrisy of their position that we are talking about. If you don't see it, fine, I and many others do.

(25,048 posts)The NY Post wants to sell papers. Everyone is buying the rag or clicking on the website so their mission is accomplished.
Although it's a right wing rag, the Post isn't editorially in the tank for Donald Trump. While they hate the Clintons intensely, I won't be surprised if they don't endorse Mr. Trump.

(95,337 posts)For the right-wing, a mostly male-white voting group - if anything they will love the photos of Mrs Trump even if these voters are hardcore church goers. Their mind set is that Melania Trump is 'sexy' whereas Hillary is an 'jealous old-woman who wears pants suits'.
We have many many good reasons as to why Trump shouldn't be president. What his wife did as a young model isn't one of those reasons. Best we just ignore it and stick with the real issues.
Guy Whitey Corngood
(26,848 posts)and consistent. Most reasonable liberal minded folk just don't give a shit. And we shouldn't. It's just strange to see this coming from Murdoch's minions.
But yeah other than getting some Viagra fueled boners out there I don't think it does anything.
anneboleyn
(5,626 posts)I mean this is one of the most pathetic attempts to change the news cycle, which is focused on Trump's disgusting treatment of the Khan family. Maybe Trump will pull one of his famous "outrage" acts, claiming that his enemies (I think it was Ted Cruz last time) released these photos. You know, photos of his model wife, who would of course have copies of these pics in her own portfolio. Remember that Trump was going to release all sorts of info PROVING that Ted Cruz had an affair through his friend who owns the National Enquirer? Then one pathetic story came out with one "anonymous source" and zero credibility?
Nobody cares about Melania the plagiarist at this point, and I am not surprised that Trump wheels her out again to throw her under the campaign bus AGAIN.
izzybella
(236 posts)Trump's moral hypocrisy has not been an issue before, so I don't think it will be now.
However, given the Republican platform on pornography, it may bring a few awkward and uncomfortable moments. In my opinion, most Dems won't care.

It is utterly stupid and pointless - aside from being counterproductive - to keep bringing up that Melania had a perfectly legal career as a model prior to meeting Don the Con.

This could keep some Donald voters away from the polls.

jberryhill
(62,444 posts)Falwell had no problem tweeting a pic of his wife in Trump's office with a Playboy cover right next to her head.
This is not an "issue" for them, and makes us look small-minded.
vkkv
(3,384 posts)The Con on Playboy is going to appear along with me!" Seriously? You think that even crossed his mind?
Falwell absolutely had no say. it was a quickly done publicity photo.. The reality is the fact you have insulted my intelligence and then you stupidly bring this "big story" up as some sort of valid argument without really thinking it through... seems very "small minded" to me.
So, pointing out the hypocrisy of conservatives makes us look 'small minded'.. Got it.
Loki Liesmith
(4,602 posts)The point is, that publicity photo was used to gin up Evangelical support for Trump. Given that said support did not crater out when this was pointed out months ago, it is reasonble to assume that ancient pics of Melania won't have an impact either.

What better way to get us to ignore the Trump goof-ups with #1) Suggesting Treason by asking Russia to hack more emails, #2) Saying we should back out of our NATO support, #3) Insulting a Gold-Star family, #4) Suggesting that he wants to hit several of the DNC speakers and #5).... well you can probably add more to that list if you like.
Trump is in a real shit mess right now by his own doing. He gave a wretched speech at his convention and any post-convention bounce has already slipped away after the DNC convention (which was watched more by viewers than the RNC). And he keeps making dumbass stupid statements which sometimes I think he does on purpose because he never really wanted to be president yet idiots keep voting for him.
Anyhow the Melania Trump nudie pictures are nothing more than a way to distract us from the real issues in hopes that we forget that Trump is a big bully who wants to be a dictator.

(2,986 posts)Union address. My mom was one of those complaining about how "inappropriate" that was, and how somehow the sleeveless dress Jackie Kennedy wore to an earlier State of the Union (I showed her a photo) was not as "revealing." (I think she meant not as revealing of black arms.) She already loathes Trump, but it's party before country with her. At least this gives me the pleasure of pointing out (again) the hypocrisy and racism at the heart of the Republican party.

jberryhill
(62,444 posts)No, the right-wing Christians don't care either. All is forgiven.
There is utterly no interest in this stuff from any political perspective whatsoever.
vkkv
(3,384 posts)Would anyone care? No, huh?
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)Yes, small-minded idiots on the right would make a big deal out of it if it was a Democrat.
They will not and do not care about Melania's previous career.
Is your point to demonstrate "We can be small-minded idiots too!" Is that really where you want to be?
The right doesn't give a shit about these pictures. She "became a Christian" (and a Republican), so it's all Jake with them. Clearly, they would rationalize the converse situation by simply saying that the heathen Democrat, whomever it may be, has not repented of their sin.
I gather you don't actually know any of these sorts of people or how their minds work.

jberryhill
(62,444 posts)Do you see one on Mrs. Falwell?
A lot of Protestant Christians think of wearing cross jewelry as a "Catholic thing".
You are making assumptions about how these people think out of complete ignorance of how they actually think.
The "best" right-wing Christians have hair-raising tales about their depraved life of sin before they found Jeezus. It's practically a competition.
If the Post is running these, it is bait they want us to take.
Going after a woman over career choices she freely made years ago does not make them look like hypocrites - it makes us look like hypocrites.

LynneSin
(95,337 posts)NYPost released the photos. The paper is owned by the same organization that owns Faux News.
Trump is flailing right now because he bullied a Gold-Star family and committed Treason by asking Russia to attack our country. Add in a shitty RNC convention, Ted Cruz not endorsing and Trump looking like an idiot when asked simple government questions, Trump is going down in flames right now.
What better way to distract the left-wing by posting nudie pictures of his wife in the newspaper. The pictures have always been out there yet no other news source except the one owned by Faux News went for the story. And no the right-wing doesn't care. Mostly male-white voters anyways have always been hypocrites even if they attend church, they still like nudies of hot women.
No one for the democrats will say one word other than perhaps 'We could care less about what Melania Trump did as a young model'.
Non-issue. No need to harp on it.

(16,413 posts)LOL. Not really. I am guessing yesterday's photos did not have the desired effect of changing the subject for Trump. Still talking about his horrible remarks, which he and his team are really, really quadrupling down on. They are using a conspiracy web site to make Trump look good and the Khan's as terrorists.
The only thing these photos are good for is for people like me to use as a rebuttal to republicons when they claim Michelle has no class and how happy they will be when Melania becomes first lady. You know because she will bring "class" back to the White house.

She took the page down, and the pageant officials, who selected her from among 5 white finalists, said that was in the old days, didn't matter now.
We should give the real estate swindler's concubine the same privilege, no?
The wife of the pres can pursue their own agenda, but I don't see her gardening for a healthier Whit House. Maybe she could use those pics in a new campaign -
Lesbians can be First Ladies too...
Or maybe just Lesbians can be Leaders.
She could do a lot to free up women from some of the older ideas.

This is what the Obama daughters were wearing when Elizabeth Lauten,new media political director for the Republican National Committee, wrote them a letter in which she denigrated them for their attire. She alluded they were lacking class. She also stated, "Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar."
