Yeah. Consider Melania’s English skills after 21 years in the U.S. living with English-only speakers and then consider that she claims to have learned Italian, French and German while modeling in those countries for a few months in her early 20s.

Omg, the five languages thing! It’s so embarrassing how un-self aware my fellow countrymen can be - the language thing is so often overblown! My informed guess would be: Slovenian: native. Serbo-croatian: obligatory in school in former YU and picked up on vacations, but since it’s been awhile I doubt she’s fluent; her…

My mom’s from that same part of the world (Croatia, which was also part of the former Yugoslavia), and she also speaks five languages. Croatian was her “at home” language, but they escaped to Italy when she was a kid, so that’s the language that she learned in school. Then immigrated to the U.S., so English too. She…

Also, c) There is no universe in which Melania Trump is even remotely well suited to be First Lady, and d) Ivanka already nabbed the job anyway.

I can’t seem to find a consensus. Google claims six, Slovenian, Serbian, English, French, German, and Italian. By it, based on the links after that list, it seems six are listed because varied sources don’t agree on what her four/five languages are. (though I see a lot of English, Slovenian, and French for Barron, and…

If she really speaks five languages, I’d bet she speaks her three other non-native ones about as well as she does English.

I think “speak” fluently is pushing it. I’m guessing she knows Slovenian and maybe Serb and Croat or Bosnian, which are very similar languages (two are the same except the alphabets but I on my phone and can’t look it up right now) and then I’m guessing some French or Italian (or maybe Russian considering Yugoslavia…

I was saying this probably made her fairly well suited to be First Lady but a) she clearly doesn’t want to be, and b) apparently she needed a translator for Italian when she was at the Vatican, and that’s one of the languages she’s claimed to be fluent in. So, idk, now.

Yeah, that’s what I thought, too. She’s preening, ever so slightly, because she’s feeling all smexy-like. But the dress looks out of place and gauche for a daytime business occasion, not that she would know this.

Yup yup yup. Don’t humanize this bitch. She is married to a monster, she made that choice, that petty bullshit “I’m going to look SO hot next to these old ladies” is precisely in line with everything we know about her character. No sympathy for collaborators.

They count English as one of those five languages, and after 15 years, she doesn’t have a handle on articles and plurals. I pretty sure they’re exaggerating about those other three.

I had a former roommate going through this process once, and part of security clearance is that they call a lot of people you know and ask questions about them to verify. She had done some drugs in college and told me, “If they ask you if I did drugs/what drugs I did SAY YES, BE HONEST.”

The Republicans of the 1950s would be dusting off Old Sparky for anyone found working with the Ruskies.

Obviously, Sessions should have never been confirmed in the first place, but haven’t we reached our limit yet on him? He should definitely be fired by now. He perjured himself (I still love how he lied about something he wasn’t even asked about) and now lied AGAIN about meeting with the Russians. I mean...WTF??

Miller is THIRTY and looks like Mr. Burns. I don’t think he ever had a soul.

I truly believe that all of these foul motherfuckers are so rotten on the inside that they’ve become equally repulsive on the outside. Think about it: Ailes, Trump, Sessions, Kislyak, Bannon, etc.

Isn’t it weird that Republicans seem to be okay with high-level government officials seemingly colluding with Russia?

Where are the patriots? Where are even the low-class flag-wavers?

Lying while filing out SF-86 forms, in the words of my retired army officer relative, is “...not only something you don’t do, but is a really fucking stupid thing to do. You just don’t do it.”
