If I recall correctly, you are bi. What have you done about the kids in prison camps?

If you want to start a “Non Sequitur Contest”, why don’t you do it in another thread? The first sentence doesn’t relate to the second sentence in any way, shape or form. :rolleyes:

I don’t think Trump can make her do anything though. This is evident by her slapping Donald’s hand away in a public setting. I imagine their conversations behind closed doors are very contentious.

When a fashion model with access to a billionaire’s bank account decides to wear a $39 jacket, she does so for a reason. The shoe laces on her sneakers probably cost more than $39.

Thank you, for contacting your reps. I’m a faggot and fine with it. Mando JO brought it up. I’m guessing she remembered something from the past. You think it’s hard in Portland? Try Enterprise, Alabama.

I don’t have any knowledge of your sexual orientation. I brought it up because it’s an obvious parallel. And I’m not talking about it being “hard”. I’m talking about it being used to justify violence through dehumanization–the same process that allows people to justify breaking up these families.

I actually doubt FLOTUS was sending any kind of message. The Trumps are shallow and don’t think about the repercussions of anything they do. They just act on impulse and regard negative feedback as “haters”. She probably selected the coat because she thought it looked fashionable.

I would never think ill of a whore. But thanks for the clarity. I know about violence. Frankie says, “[Relax](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh4tHpUflDA).”

I haven’t seen anyone else address this: is that raincoat off-the-shelf? The writing on it looks amateurish, but I got no fashion sense whatsoever, so I dunno if this is something you pay ten thousand for, or if she too a paintbrush and daubed those words on the raincoat herself.

Me either. It makes me feel better about her. But just a little.

Not in a literal sense. But what you said was:

You appear to be postulating a pool of **EVERY SINGLE JUDGE ON THE PLANET** as potentially eligible to render a decision in any such dispute. I simply selected one who would likely rule in favor of the America-hating fuckstick.

She has got a background in fashion, so I highly doubt that she thought that cheap jacket with oversized crude graffiti on the back was “fashionable”.

[Found the answer to my question:](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/21/us/politics/melania-trump-jacket.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=b-lede-package-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news)

> [@NYTimes](#):

There’s a caption of a different model wearing the jacket, this time to try to sell it instead of to send some sort of fucked-up but ultimately irrelevant and distracting message.

Jesus, \*\*Czarcasm

Point taken, but that jacket with that slogan (self-consciously “ironic” declaration of disinterest) strikes me as a little hipster-ish. It reminds me of something I’d see my 22-year-old daughter picking up at Forever21.
