Yep. Not for nothing, but have you SEEN a photo of Melania’s dad? It explains an awful lot. *shudder*

You brought up what is, for me, the most salient fact: She went on television and backed up the birther bullshit. Fuck that noise.

I have zero doubt he’s emotionally abusive to her and his kids. Those folks are what are called “flying monkeys” (a la Wizard of Oz) or “minions” (predating the yellow meme things) in the terminology used by people trying to escape these relationships, as they enforce whatever monstrous nonsense declared by the…

“Patti Wood noted to Mic that Melania leaned away from her husband”

Hey she has honest enough to say she married for money. Why feel sorry

That fucking picture says more than 1,000 words. Probably closer to 3-5 million.

Fuck barron in advance lol

But, really, Melania was kept and coddled before she even got to America. She made her bed; this is the type of life she always dreamed of, so I don’t feel the least bit sorry.

If I find out she’s been abused, I’ll feel sympathy. If she is so unhappy, she can leave him. I don’t care how good his prenup is, he will lose in a very visible public fight if he attempts to leave her destitute (also a prenup that left her destitute would likely be overturned anyway)

She has more options than the…

Today seems to be a great day for people putting words into my mouth that I didn’t say and then telling me how I am wrong.

Well, one reason to consider “saving” her (whatever that means) is that if a First Lady were to leave a sitting President because her relationship with him was so bad, it would be profoundly terrible for that President.

Maxine Waters represents and lived in areas of Los Angeles that aren’t ‘one of the safer districts in the country’. So, to compare, when has any of the billionaire class lived in ‘at risk’ areas when they were at risk?

Came down to quote this comment. Anyone who didn’t see this is blind as fuck.

Seems like when people do what they have to, they’re is no problem. And i don’t understand why you wanna be so dismissive to Sen. Waters. She is elected, do her job, stand her ground, stay true to herself in words and actions.Makes no compromises.End of storyBeing in California or wherever she would have done things…

Excuse the fuck out of me for admiring someone.

We have been watering down the Democratic message for so long that Faux News has become centrist. No. The Democrats need to realign their message and connect with the liberals further to the left. We don’t need to concede any more ground to those who would destroy the nation in pursuit of profits.

“I don’t have any intentions of pretending that we can get along with him,” Waters said. “He has defined himself, we know who he is, we know what he cares about and I don’t why any of us would try and make ourselves believe that he is anything other than what he has shown us to be.”

I’m not here for that either. I will say straight up, I want Trump to fail. I want him to fail at EVERYTHING. I would prefer that his programs didn’t go through at all but I will settle for it being a flaming failure that is so bloody obvious that Republicans don’t get considered for office for a century. There is…
