The disappearance of Melania is pretty strange. My guess is either that she’s sick of his shit and is laying low for a while or that she had some serious complications from surgery and the White House’s reflex is to lie about it. Either way, very bizarre for her to just vanish.

I saw someone on Twitter say that the White House had misplaced another immigrant. I thought that was darkly humorous.

I was half-watching as I drank my morning coffee. I looked for her particularly and didn’t see her there.

It’s getting kind of creepy.

She tweeted – the kind of Memorial Day message that her idiot husband should have sent. Or at least, somebody with her password tweeted on her behalf.

Reports are that she moved back to NYC.

To paraphrase his Tweet: “If you guys hadn’t been stupid and all by dying while in the military, you would love it in America today!” Good times!

In the spectral throng of ghostly soldiers, there are draftees with Peace signs and “Fuck the Army!” written on their helmets. What kind of noise does a ghost make when he pukes his guts out?

Murdered.  
Or does a First Lady count as “assassinated?”

Rudy Giuliani was at the Yankees’ game today and the announcer pointed him out and said today was his birthday. The crowd booed.

Anyone can be “assassinated” if it’s for the right purpose. A Boy Scout troop leader is assassinated if his charges launch a revolution and kill him in the course of taking over the troop. But if it’s for the five bucks in his wallet, that’s just routine murder.

If President Chump killed her because she’s getting better ratings? Maybe.

That brought tears to my eyes. Too right.

I think if you’re one of Trump’s supporters, it counts as “allowed.”

I remember the bygone days when elderly fuckers died of old age. Why does this not happen so much anymore?

He likes soldiers that don’t die while serving their country. Sort of like Patton, but with bone spurs instead of pistols.

Well, he did make it ALL about him again. according to this line of shit he spewed today, He seems to think all the veterans (even the dead ones) are using this day to give thanks for Trump…

> [@Trump](#):
>
> _“Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!”_

This is supposed to be a solemn day reflecting on the ultimate sacrifice made by patriotic men and women who didn’t get five deferments for a made-up ailment. Trump sees today as a happy holiday to play golf… and then somehow managed to make this day all about him—using the same horse shit lies about the economy that only his idiot supporters eat up.

Considering his insults to POWs and Gold Star families, this disgraceful statement should not come as a surprise.

And then he started tweeting about his non-existent “SpyGate” again

What a fucking bloody maggot infested turd he is. I’m ONE vet who hopes he takes on his “happy dead war fighters day” shit and chokes to death on it.

Melanie could well have sense some kind of protection in her high visibility and secret service protective detail, and, to use a favorite expression of abusers, mouthed off.

I’m not surprised by his tweets today; I’m just wondering what horrible act he is hoping to distract us from.
