Honestly, the first thing Gisele Bundchen has done in a while that’s made me respect her.

Did you not read the article? She does actively support his beliefs and did actively campaign for him, going back years. Stop projecting.

Melania Trump is hardly a stand-in for American women, she is neither a victim nor she is lacking agency. Rather she’s an active participant working to construct Donald Trump’s narrative readily available to put a gauzy domestic veil on his racism and misogyny.

I really feel like the Internet has created its own narrative around Melania and that’s a dangerous thing to do. Will never stop feeling bad for that kid though.

It was about as good as 13 episodes of TV are going to get. I pride myself on spotting a twist or a turn early and this one played me right up the last moment. And Ted Danson’s Cheshire Cat grin at the reveal? Perfect.

Melania Trump certainly seems wicked bad, to the point that I wonder if part her public performances are Donald exerting some sort of control over her. That said, I think that the “sympathy” she’s getting is mostly about mocking Donald’s obvious disdain for everyone who is not himself.

Thank you for this. A woman isn’t lacking in agency just because she’s making decisions you don’t agree with. I might concede that she’s in over her head, but to cast her as someone so blank that she can’t muster up the power to make her own decisions is a disservice to both her, and other women like her. Just because…

In 2012 (?) and always:

Maybe he can’t catch a break because of all the shitty things he continues to do without apologizing.

Thank you! She’s a giant piece of shit asshole as well.

DO 👏🏾 NOT 👏🏾 FEEL 👏🏾 SORRY 👏🏾 FOR 👏🏾 HER!!!

Or maybe even the Outlander effect since the show, laser focused as it is on the muscled male body, could be renamed “Crossfit Goes to Scotland.”
