Your mom.
Did you call? MandoJO did you call?
The usual word would be “gold digger”, dude, not fucking “whore”. And generally for normal people, the disparaging title you use on someone relates to what you’re attacking them for. If Melania cut me off in traffic I wouldn’t first think “hey, that gold digger cut me off!”
Calling yourself a faggot (or a whore) is very different from calling someone else a faggot or a whore. Same for other epithets.
Narrow point.
ETA: Following CarnalK, I suppose I’d choose, “Gold digging ice queen”, if I had it in for Melania. Which I don’t. She’s too irrelevant for me to get upset about her messaging, though it isn’t especially competent. But again, this isn’t what she signed up for.
Pretty funny. My mom’s a prude. I’m guessing your mom’s a slut. I am. Are you?
They do. And if you want to call Melania out for her support of such a despicable policy by doing a PR-stunt for her husband, count me in.
But you don’t know why she married the Donald. No one you know ever fell for someone you would not have touched with a pole?
I’m not saying this is the case here, I don’t know what happened - but you don’t know either. [And it’s none of our business.]
I would not call it dehumanisation, like Manda JO - some of her suggestions look to me as if they fulfill the characteristics of the animalisation or mechanisation inherent in dehumanisation more - but it’s certainly debasing Melania in a way that has nothing to do with her actions shown at present.
I can’t believe we’re talking about this when 2000 kids are imprisoned. I did’t forget. Did you? I am wrong provide a cite.
IMHO, there’s far too much overthinking going on here. Melania is a simple-minded twit whose mind – what there is of it – I couldn’t even begin to understand. She did, however, publicly oppose her husband’s deplorable stance on separating the children, which is consistent with her visiting them, presumably of her own volition.
I think this is a good time to drag out my favorite piece of wisdom, because it’s so true and explains so much in so many different circumstances: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. I would suggest that the most plausible theory here is that Melania felt that the child-separation policy was terrible, but wore that stupid teenage raincoat with the puerile graffiti because she is a clueless twit. Occam’s razor, everyone – Occam’s razor!
I don’t give two shits about if the loves The Donald or not. Maybe she does. Maybe he wanted some arm candy and decided she would be a good rental for a while. Maybe she just wanted green cards for her family. Not that I care, but I don’t think she can stand the fucker now.
What I do care is that you make a trip for the supposed purpose of showing that you care about the kids in concentration camps and you wear clothing with the message that you don’t care. Unless I hear a better excuse, I think she wore it to show contempt for those that her husband is harming. Inexcusable.
Nm.
Seems like this thread isn’t really going the way you intended.
You asked a non-rhetorical question and I answered it. And guess what? Calling Melania a whore doesn’t help those kids either so get off your high horse, asshole. You’re in here desperately defending your right to call someone a whore instead of those kids.
I have major issues with this and I believed you to be wiser. Melania is no victim nor powerless. She is 100% complicit in what her husband has done. What is more disgusting to me, is she and Ivanka are trotted out to provide cover for Donald. Their vaginas have been weaponized because you cannot insult these poor, weak women. Fuck that nonsense. She has profited mightily from Donald’s ways and even put her own voice to the worst of his slander.
If you truly wish to empower women, you do not assume them to be victims when they quite obviously made decisions to further themselves without once giving a good goddamn over the damage they cause. Feckless cunt is too nice a phrase for both of them. You may have an issue with the word “whore”, but I cannot work up much sympathy for our brunette Eva Braun.
THIS. The poor, sad Melania narrative along with jokes about saving her make me ill. No one is forcing her to do jack.
You should call them anyway - they keep records of topics people talk about so they know what issues matter most to voters. Helps them campaign and stuff.
Than
Thanks! I’m listening to Pink. What an amazing human!
No, you’re wearing, an “I’m a Misogynist Asswipe” trench coat.
And you know, I don’t recall seeing you this riled up before about any children being abused, or neglected, by ANY government, our’s, or any of our allies, or enemies. Yet all of a sudden, if we’re not out there denouncing Melania Trump and her stupid jacket, we’re condoning this?*
Hey, I was talking about what to have for breakfast today! Guess that means I care more about food than children in cages!
*Note: for anyone other than fervour, I am not dismissing THIS issue. I just don’t remember him freaking out like this.
I can say with some confidence that this thread has convinced me that fervour is a worse person than Melania Trump. (Donny Boy is worse than either of them, but that’s not a hard bar to clear.)
I’m honestly just agnostic on Melania Trump. I just don’t think we have enough information to say what her position is. I think it’s plausible that she’s basically trapped. It’s also plausible that she’s utterly complicit. I just don’t know and I don’t really care. Out of all the figures to hate in this horrific situation, she seems really far down the list.
Ivanka has been more explicitly supportive of her father: she has a fucking office in the West Wing. She makes the morning show rounds. Her I see more as an unambiguous part of the administration. Tiffany Trump’s low profile has made it clear that adult children of Trump have the option to keep a low profile.
She pushed the birther nonsense. She’s complicit. Agnosticism on her is excuse-making. https://youtube.com/watch?v=sSTx1ZODEcQ
She chooses to be used as a cover and support his racist lies. She can #BeBest by shutting the hell up and sitting in her penthouse in NYC if she doesn’t want to be a part of his disgusting ways.
Being married to him is not her crime, but every time she lets him use her to soften his image, she is guilty. She’s not stupid and she’s not a victim.
