Little more than simply pointing towards an imaginary distinction lacking a relevant difference.

She hates her nominal husband and her life but won't give up the $$ for anything. She fills in her time with private lunches with PUtin (no drumpf around) and making kissy faces at Trudeau. Who knows what she's doing in private, but bet it's truly ugly since her public face is so damn awful, so filled with hate and loathing all the time.

26. Melanie's a tool, but her spokesperson "fired back"
Thu Sep 12, 2019, 01:56 PM
Sep 2019

"Grisham, then the first lady's spokeswoman, fired back at the press last year, urging the media to focus on important issues.

“If media would spend their time & energy on her actions & efforts to help kids — rather than speculate & focus on her wardrobe – we could get so much accomplished on behalf of children,” she said at the time."



They're all worthless.

when First Lady Michelle Obama wore a sleeveless dress?

THAT'S what we should ***still*** be talking about! How DARE she?

And let's forget those times Melania wore no dress at all. Because Righty would DEFINITELY not have shit the bed had Mrs. Obama ever been photographed in similar poses!

but people look stupid when it is over dumb shit like this. if it resembled 2 towers, maybe. that is just denim detailing, look at the waist.

saw this earlier and the "joking" was how the arrow pointed at her ass. that is closer to being "legitimate fashion" commentary.

things a bit far. That's a common stylistic thingie. The only reason anybody even noticed it is that it's top-stitched in a contrasting color. Many coats of that type have that flap without the contrast. I like it, actually, but with matching thread. I HATE contrasting top stitching.

That said, I don't think I've ever seen a couple more miserable looking in each others presence who weren't actually landing blows.

it's not that her clothes are ugly (well sometimes) but more often it's that she is not dressed properly for the occasion. If I had to put my finger on it I would say she is trying too hard.
