My mom has definitely played that card before.

It’s like when your normally quiet and kind friend says something really mean and it’s AMAZING.

Thanks for the years of shade, mom.

There really needs to be a channel on TV just replaying all of the clips of Michelle Obama’s expert shade. I’d pay for a subscription.

True, true. If I were in her position I would have been screaming incoherently during basically the entire debate.

yeah, but she’s also smarter and better than us. it was probably prepared but it was glorious

MAYBE I WAS YOUR MOM ALL ALONG

I feel like she must have prepared for it, because it was too perfect. As soon as the question was asked my cerebral cortex basically shut down as I tried to process the concept of admiring Trump for anything.

They should probably not use the words they don’t understand the meaning of, because neither of those things is correct.

Get out of my mom’s brain; that’s creepy.

oooo, I admire your internal rhyme structure of “squash blossoms.”

I agree (and find the Obamas much more likable in many ways), but I think it’s also a little unfair to judge her speeches against theirs. They have nothing to lose, so they can go for it, whereas she still needs to be careful so that she doesn’t give the on-the-fence misogynists another reason to side with Trump (and…

Yet another reason to love her.

That was a classic lawyerly smack down; something they live for. Legal bitchery at it’s best.

I think Kara praised MO for being the Queen of Shade last week because of this. God, Michelle is so great. I love that she and Barack are going so hard after Trump - the last couple of months have truly been a gift from both of them.

But I really like the video and needed an excuse to post it.

It was also the clearest yet most polite “go fuck yourself” I’ve ever read. That was like ninja master burnage.

“His children are incredibly able and devoted, and I think that says a lot about Donald.”

I have a question: is the opposite of shade a sick burn, as in what the NYT legal team did to Drumpf this week? That was one of the sickest burns in recent memory and I want to know if that’s the opposite of shade because it shines a fiery light on bullshit.

I accidentally saw a Breitbart headline *shudder* on Facebook that tried to say Melania was shading Hillary. What?
