Well, I guess that brings the total number of posts I’ve written to impress you all the way up to…zero.
I don’t mind being the jerk. Blondie is singing, “'call me.” There is no comparison to good speakers.
Indeed, if you cut it like that.
Try this way:
I didn’t write it [… to “prove” that…] because the first part is easy; see the link in the very same post that you quoted - but maybe I should’ve done that… :rolleyes:
Just FYI, videos and pictures of Melania going to Puerto Rico with Donald has her wearing a very similar jacket. Not the same jacket, but army green, full-length sleeves… just no writing.
(I wonder how Zara is handling this. Anyone heard anything?)
They’re not exactly new to controversy.
All the way to the bank.
Someone at lunch suggested the “I don’t care message” was aimed at questions about Donald’s affairs (she likely doesn’t much care, except to the extent that they embarrass her or (potentially) Barron). That seems reasonable, although the either shoots it down entirely or at least completely stomps on her the message.l
It is off the shelf (or was 2 years ago) from a fast-fashion retailer* called Zara.
It sold for $39.
The lettering looks that way intentionally.
*fast fashion retailer = clothing store that sells very trendy clothes that will be out of style before you get home from the store. Usually at a mid-to-low price and of questionable quality.
She may even like having him leave her alone more often. But I don’t think embarrassment is an issue for her, given that she married him.
There are people to whom I’d give the benefit of the doubt - maybe they bought that jacket on a whim (two years ago, it had that kind of interesting, faux-edgy vibe), maybe they just grabbed the first thing that they saw on the way out the door.
Someone as image conscious as she is with a staff as image conscious as they are who calculate her every outfit with precision put thought into that jacket and made sure she was photographed with it during this particular event. She is making a statement and making it about immigrant kids and families. Showing up for a photo-op and then wearing the message “I don’t care” speaks volumes.
Earlier, I may have given her a pass when it came to her public speaking; I don’t when it comes to clothes - that’s well in her strengths.
Maybe she has been told that there will be hell to pay if she comes off with a better reputation then Trumpster Trash?

Well said.
It’s a $39 jacket. I doubt Melania Trump has ever purposely bought a $39 item of clothing since she married the Orange Chimp, unless it was intentional.
Trump is already investigating ways to revoke nationalized citizens’ citizenships. Maybe that was a warning to her.
My Senators and Representative are all Democrats. I don’t need to call them, they are already working to end this policy.
I don’t have a clue what was up with the jacket, but whatever it was, personal, a message to the press, political, or just completely random, IMO, based on the little bit I know, which is practically nothing, it was a stupid and not well thought out idea. That said, I don’t see any reason at all to be calling her a whore or a prostitute. I also shake my head when I read some of these posts about the state of the Trump’s marriage. I don’t care who they are, if I’m not one of the partners in that marriage, then I don’t know shit about it. So much goes on when the world isn’t watching. I also know from personal experience I’ve seen couples I thought would last a lifetime fall apart, and other couples that have been together over 20-30 years and no one who knows them saw that coming. So, I just don’t see the point in speculating about the marriage of a couple I don’t even slightly know personally.
To paraphrase her jacket, I really don’t care about Melania Trump. Is she a bad person? Yes, probably. But there are probably hundreds of other women like her out there. Their bad personalities doesn’t affect me.
I might worry if I felt Melania Trump was a bad influence on her husband. But has shown he doesn’t need any influence to be bad. And there’s no evidence he listens to his wife, for good or bad.
Mine are mixed, but the Democrats are fixing and the Republicans are hiding.
THIS THREAD is a prime example of why women are getting sick of this place. Don’t like a particular woman? Hey, call her a whore!
Go shove a curling iron up your self-righteous ass. Sideways.
If you speak out against calling a woman a whore, that means you support putting kids in a concentration camp? Nice choice you’ve offered there. I’ll use the word “whore” on occassion. (Like “attention whore”) But not in this context. Not simply to insult a woman I don’t like. Call her a bitch, call her a twat, hell – even call her a cunt. But whore has a specific meaning, and this is a sexist, hateful comment. Unless she’s an actual whore, as in prostitute? No.
While Melania’s jacket choice was stupid, I don’t think it was meant to say, “I don’t care about these kids”. Nor do I think she’s a whore, if anyone’s a whore, it’s her husband. Is she stupid? Yes. Do I like her? No. But she’s not her husband.
As for contacting my politicians and congressmen? Not that I need to tell YOU, but the vast majority are already speaking out against it.* As to whether I’m going to contact them or if I’m doing anything else, like fuck I’m going to inform you of my actions.
Go fuck a dead weasel.
*The ones that aren’t are so far up Trump’s ass it’s pointless to even bother with them. All you’d get is a form letter saying, “Thank you for your support.”
I’m not going fuck a dead weasel, ewww. Don’t like males? Fuck females. They are over half the population. Did you not notice? You are one.
