> [@scudsucker](#): > > I don’t get the presidential fascination with this “Ballroom”, which is NEVER going to be used as an actual ballroom. I mean, Trump is the quintessential example of someone who can’t dance, let alone ballroom style dancing. I think you can argue that the “balls” this room is all about have nothing to do with dancing and everything to do with dominance displays. Room for balls, indeed. ---

This one is amazing. > **[Las Pozas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Pozas)** > > Las Pozas ("the Pools") is a surrealistic group of structures created by Edward James, more than 2,000 feet (610 m) above sea level, in a subtropical rainforest in the Sierra Gorda mountains of Mexico. It includes more than 80 acres (32 ha) of natural waterfalls and pools interlaced with towering surrealist sculptures in concrete. > Las Pozas is near the village of Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, a seven-hour drive north of Mexico City.

In this day and age, a woman needs to be REALLY outstandingly unemployed and unproductive to be officially described merely as a “socialite”. Hell, even the notorious Paris Hilton gets the additional labels “media personality” and “businesswoman”. Especially when you consider that even the most useless and lazy rich person can obtain the “philanthropist” label just by ostentatiously giving away a few percent of their net worth. Hahaha who am I kidding, like a Trump would ever consider marrying somebody who gave any money away (or vice versa).
