This shit is so dangerous. It erodes our faith in our democratic institutions. We may survive a trump presidency but the US won’t be able to survive a complete loss of faith in things like our elections and our press for example. It will breed widespread corruption and authoritarianism as people will think trump is…

Yeah, I can’t imagine the raging psychotic he must be behind closed doors if the way he behaves in public/online is any indication.
Narcissists can be extremely charming when they are charming someone. She may not have known how bad it was going to be when she married him. She may be realizing that there is no way out now that he is the most powerful man in the world, with no moral compass, no empathy, and the Russians behind him.
I saw that picture of the Obamas gently comforting and guiding her inside and it broke my heart a little! I am not a fan of Melania, and she clearly knew what she was getting herself into marrying him, but still... I can’t help but think that whatever abuse she is suffering from this awful man has been increasing…
That’s what I was thinking. She looks so heavily botoxed, it’s a wonder she can move it all. Still, she didn’t look too happy. All points to Michael Moore’s theory that he didn’t want to be president, he just wanted to win the elections and now has to somehow occupy himself for 4 years. And Melania doesn’t like that…
Narcissists and abusers end up with nothing but contempt for their victims. At the same time that they use subtle (and not so subtle) intimidation and manipulation to control them, they also disdain them for not being “smart” enough to see through the control tactics.
She looks like she’s shutting down because he said something vile. While I understand people look askance at her staying with this guy, there can be pretty complex issues around leaving one’s abuser. Especially one that values appearances and power so very much. He has the very real ability to cause her great harm. I…
In all fairness to Melanka, she had included popping out kids into her personal services contract with Angry Orange - she was undoubtedly to be compensated per event. But this “First Lady” shit? She’s got the sharpest eastern European legal minds looking into this unexpected snag ...
This is just basic, basic stuff. You learn it at like your first business outing. First office Christmas party I went to out of college, I went up to my boss to shake his hand and he directed my hand over to his wife with a little nod, realizing I was green and just out of school. Never forgot that lesson, he was a…
Even though I cringe every time I read some admiration of Melania’s class or humanitarian wonderfulness or whatever, this scene scared the fuck out of me. I’ve seen this kind of psychological bullshit in my own parents’ marriage. He said some sharp little cruelty to her, then turned around with that self-satisfied…
Some of us actually LOVE seeing boils lanced, but I get your point.
“major reforms of the agency’s use of science and economics,”
It is easy to say that she is only with him for the money, and while economic interest might have led her to him, it is important to note that he is an abuser.
That’s not smog and polluted water. It’s alternative fog and water.
Their inaugural dance (which I will be having nightmares about for the rest of my life) is far worse - he’s creepily pressing his groin into to her and lurching around in a forward motion and her expression is pure revulsion.
People have noticed that the Cheeto left her behind when he entered the White House, abandoning her for the Obamas to guide gently inside.
You know, Jezzies were up in arms at the many, many unkind and racist things that Michele Obama has had to endure for the last eight years. I am disappointed to see you pile on Melania because you hate her husband. Let her do something actually wrong before you hate her.
