Why the collective amnesia about Melania and her previous profession ?

I seem to recall she was basically in the same field as Stormy Daniels. Around here ( Hollywood ) soft porn and hardcore stuff are interchangeable, but it seems no one wants to " go there " with the flotus.
I wish someone like Avenatti would remind the public of what we all already know, Melania was a "model" with an escort agency. So, when Gulliani goes off on Stormy, why don't people bring this up.

And no, Pat Robertson, it wasn't art work.

comments. I think the focus should be as Avenatti has placed it, squarely on how inappropriate, untrue, misogynist, and irrelevant Rudy’s comments have been.

3. My guess is that as long as she sits there and keeps her mouth shut, no one will say anything.

If she starts throwing shade Stormie's way, I think those photos of her will surface once again. She doesn't want that to happen, so my guess is we won't be hearing from her.

today because of Ghouliani. No way was twitter going to let rude rudy dump on Stormy when Melania was a nude model.

my guess is that every once in a while she wants to remind him that she's still hot, and he still can't touch her.

4. I thought this as well, especially with Trumpist Christians and their love for Jesus's teachings

didn't Jesus have that saying about a man looking lustfully at a woman having already committed adultery in his heart?

Basically the thoughts/ideas/concepts are morally equivalent to actions? By that standard, nude models and sex workers are doing the same thing -- erotic gratification in exchange for money.

And that is ignoring the elephant in the room, namely -- as you pointed out -- that her "modeling" may or may not have been a euphemism for something else -- of which there is a long-standing historical record amongst models/escorts/sex workers, etc.

Oh, and Melania's past is down the rabbit hole as far as the manufactured M$M is concerned.

what Stormy does or what Melania did.

Now if Melania attacks Stormy personally, or any other woman for being in the sex business then would be the time to show those pictures.

To do it just to get even with Trump or Giuliani is pretty low. She may not be our cup of tea and she may be cold and heartless but she evidently tries to stay out of our way.

I personally don’t like her for a lot of reasons, but I don’t want to gratuitously hurt her just to hurt Trump. It probably wouldn’t even hurt him and his kissing pal Giuliani anyway. They would just ignore it.
