In her position, it’s hard to imagine any context in which wearing that jacket could not be interpreted very poorly.
Who needs to wear a jacket in June? (North of the tropics, at least.)
But her only other option was the jacket that said “el trabajo libera”, so I think she made the better choice. No?
It’s raining it parts of Texas today. It was a rain coat. She was in fashion. She probably has 100 coats. Just really dumb. I had a bit of respect and pity for her. Not any more. Does she not have a stylist?
And, it is a jacket geared to teens.
U sur? 
A Bloom County joke is in there somewhere but I’m off to bed.
All the reports I’ve seen state that she did not wear the coat in Texas; only getting on and off her plane in DC (in dry, 80-degree weather).
Also, according to an interviewee on NPR this morning, she has a staff of ten, which is about one-third of the listed numbers for her predecessor. I haven’t seen a complete list, but most staff positions I could find appear to be related to event/travel planning and communications, which seems generally in line with previous FLOTUS staff. I haven’t seen a ‘stylist’ listed as an official White House position.
I can understand, though. She gets cold easily. From what I can tell, she has about 4mm of flesh on her skeleton.
Ballsy Trolling sounds like a little village in the UK.
“Me and the missus are motoring down Ballsy Trolling on holiday to visit wif her mum.”
So, Jeff Beck pops 'is 'ead 'round the door, and mentions there’s a little sweet shop on the edge of town…
Maresy dotes and dosey dotes and little ballsy trolling.
She probably has a hundred coats but a $40 coat? I bet her socks cost more than that.
She was posting on another board as LetsEatCake, IIRC. The sock cost her nothing.
Yeah, no kiddin’. It’s not the kind of jacket you would wear when your visit included an immigrant detention center in TX. Guess she was advised to wear it to appeal to Wun Dum Fuk’s hard-core base.
Wun Dum Fuk claimed it meant not caring about the fake press. Don’t forget the words he put in his doctor’s mouth about his glowing health, and from others stating since his youth that he has always had a propensity for not telling the truth, every day there is another litany of 'em. He’s been lying since out of the womb. Possibly even before that.
On disgraceful fervour:
Rational world?
Republicans such as myself yearn for individual rights, preservation of the constitution and self reliance, with a basic social safety net and a per need basis and support gains through merit and not placement (when possible), through individual effort and perseverance. We are not all bigoted, ignorant or evil. We want what is best for each individual, not individual groups. We rely on what is tried and true, rather than speculation or social experiments. We do not rely so much on emotions as we do rationality and common sense. We do not deny things because they are inconvenient or upsetting. We accept what humans are and try to work with that instead of what we ought to be.
That is rational.
Assuming we as Americans are obligated to take care of those who enter illegally or pay for the health care of others (through taxation if implemented universally) is arrogant and irrational. Don’t get me wrong, ideally that would be nice and I would support it if it were possible but it is not, not without degrading the quality of life for everyone else to some degree.
There is not a republican soul who wouldn’t want to help others and the country as a whole, as long is it doesn’t upset their bottom line too much (this is the part about accepting what humans are instead of dreaming that we are not selfish greedy monsters, you work with what you’ve got.)
Just my opinion, you’re free to have yours as well even if I do not accept it.
Otoh, the governing principles which worked in making a collection of independent colonies into an 18th-century agrarian country, one shut off from the world by two oceans and weeks of travel time for people and information, may just be totally insufficient to govern a post-industrial hyperpower in a world with instantaneous communications and nuclear missles.
In fact, I think this likelihood is rather strong.
This is both the funniest and saddest thing I’ve read today - and both are because I think you might actually believe it.
What part of the principles of governing that were set forth are insufficient? Do they not appeal to nearly every aspect of life living in this country in a a succinct combination of specifics and generalities that hold true for governance in most other civilized countries? Were they not enough that the mere fact of them existing has fostered the innovation and led us into a post-industrial hyperpower status and have given the advent of most of and plenty of refinement to all of our modern day technologies and conveniences?
These are rhetorical questions. The system of governance works just fine and once everyone is ready to have a collective change it will happen, such is sociological evolution. The United States was an experiment that succeeded, why test the experiment with another experiment if it is nominally in working order?
Thus is the smug elitist attitude that led to DJT becoming President, much to your dismay. Now I didn’t vote out of spite, but that attitude does lead me to believe many did and I can definitely see why.
