Can confirm. It’s just not good. Not as bad as ham-fisted Bon Appetite, but not good at all.

Swish Swish is a bad song, at least we can all agree on that, right?

There is an old saying:

We thought we were at the bottom until we heard the knocking from below....

“Denied access” is a joke, really, only slightly less of a joke than Spicer’s briefings have been. Being denied the ability to ask questions he won’t answer isn’t a big deal.

I’m confused. The “fake news” by “made up sources” is simultaneously real leaks that the FBI can’t stop?

Anger & ignorance an unbeatable combination in the age of man.

Rock bottom? No way. He’s going to keep digging.

Trump supporters waved around Russian flags with “TRUMP” plastered on them, a prank by 22-year-old Jason Charter and 36-year-old Ryan Clayton. “Most people didn’t realize it was a Russian flag, or they didn’t care,” Charter told the Atlantic in a phone interview.

To be fair, maybe this means CNN, Politico, and the Times will—pardon my vernacular—stop sucking off this administration and actually do real, unashamed reporting on it. They may have been denied access, but they still exist as organizations and can still do their jobs.

sorry to post before i read but wanted to get this in...i’ll be back to barf in a few minutes.

It’s like blaming Hillary for Bill’s mistakes. I think she might be the only person that doesn’t kiss his ass. He will be making decisions that could affect all of us. That should be our real concern.

Considering what we heard about his campaign volunteers, there’s literally NO WAY a non-disparagement and non-disclosure clause were left out of her pre-nup.

I can’t hate her either. She signed up to be a trophy wife. Not my deal, but whatever. She signed up to go to events, look pretty, wear couture, and smile a lot. She did not sign up to be a political wife, which is a whole other ball game altogether.

THIS, absolutely. With as litigious and vengeful as he is, he would make her life hell if she left. And she does have a fairly young child to consider, as well. Maybe she figures putting up with Donald’s ill treatment (because I have no doubt he’s shitty to her) is worth making sure her kid gets what he needs. Maybe…

My assumption is that they had an understanding when they got married. Being FLOTUS was not part of that understanding.

I think she has agency. I also think she signed a prenup back in the day, and it is restricting her choice of exit, unless she wants to leave penniless and possibly also without Barron. Before Trump decided to run for president, and won, she was biding her time, waiting for him to get tired of her aging, and move on…

There’s good, and then there’s cynical pragmatism. Melania’s the latter - she used her youthful beauty to snag herself a rich husband to provide for her so she could live a wealthy life of no physical labor, on the assumption that he’d eventually tire and divorce her, and she’d get a payout to retire on in the…

Oh please. She knew what she was getting into when she married her father!

Sometimes people are treated in a way or raised in a way that can never allow them to develop a sense of personal agency or eventually strips them of it. I grew up around 1% bikers and the way some (many) of the women are treated eventually creates what is almost a form of Stockholm syndrome where they are only truly…

I actually don’t think she thinks she has any agency. A friend is going through a very difficult divorce with psychological and financial abuse. It took a while before she could see the path in front of her to get out. And he is still able to throw roadblocks up because he can. If Melania arrived her with a…
