Breaking: We got ahold of never-before-heard tapes of Melania Trump engaged in what appears to be an attempted criminal coverup over misappropriation of inaugural funds. #MelaniaTapes

[Blue Owl]

1. K&R for exposure

[Wednesdays]

8. "Exposure"

is something the former First Pole Dancer has considerable experience at.

[airplaneman]

30. I see what you did there n/t.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. So at first I thought going for people under her. But going

Down means going up? To trump? Or going down the story line toward what really happened?

[CatMor]

3. If that's not a cover up I don't know what is ...

Melania was involved in all the dirty business involving trump. Listening to her voice on that tape is hard on the ears.

[Laha]

14. I rarely hear her actual voice and words

It's really quite funny how accurate the comedians get it. It's almost not even a parody.

[phylny]

4. K&R

[stillcool]

5. bookmarked for later...thanks!

[bucolic_frolic]

6. "REEskee ta doo dis"

"Who could BEE-LEEVE id would happenn?"

[FeelingBlue]

9. Mocking people's accents

Is mean and shows lack of understanding about second language acquisition. Anyone who learns a second language gains a skill. If it’s done after puberty, an accent stays. So what?

Melania is a miserable woman who has chosen her world of troubles. But, her accent is simply an artifact of her first language and the timing at which she learned English.

Why act like Trump?

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Great. Let's ban all comedians and all satire.

And I take "mean" to be satire too because it shows lack of understanding of what actual sadism involves.

[Traildogbob]

15. Born and

Raised in the south. “My butt hurts” so bad cause people make fun of my accent. I can not ever speak in public from physiological damage from a lifetime of reticule. FFS. Let’s cancel this as well. Make fun of my accent all ya want, cause “I really don’t care, do you.”
No more Trump impressionist. No more SNL skits.
I personally don’t give a fuck if Melanoma has her Fee Fee’s hurt. Care more about the hurt the kids in cages feel that she callously supported.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Thanks. I feel better. I thought Trae Crowder "Liberal Redneck" might be banned! /nt

[Traildogbob]

21. Carl from Sling Blade

Will finally be respected. “I like the way he talks umm.” All your heartless people that spent so many hours in the Mirror fine tuning your Carl voice, stop it.

[lunatica]

24. No one is going to stop over your hurt feelings.

One of the most admired and beloved men in the world has a Georgia southern accent. Jimmy Carter. No one thinks he should drop the accent.

[Traildogbob]

28. Seriously???

You did not see the sarcasm intended. Just wow!

[lunatica]

37. The road to hell is paved with failed intentions.

[Traildogbob]

39. So

I am going to hell for sarcastically joking about MY Own accent? Ah ite den! It’s a dry heat. I hate humidity, curls my hair.

[lunatica]

41. I guess so.

Or you could avail yourself of the sarcasm emoji.

[GulfCoast66]

34. Sorry for your situation. Ironically I try to get my accent back.

20 years of regularly speaking in public and often appearing on TV and radio I unconsciously lost a lot of mine. No one from our Marketing Department asked me to, but it just happened.

If I could manage to get back to Arkansas and Louisiana more often I might get it all back.

Funny story. I gave a talk to a professional meeting in Toronto 6 or so years ago. All Canadian group. That night I was asked to go to the luxury Lounge that that had for the mover and shakers and donor companies. And hour or so in after several bourbons I found myself surrounded by a group of mostly younger ladies asking lots of questions about my work, home and stuff. Like all men I have an ego, but I realize my chick magnet days are long past! I finally asked why the found me interesting. Sheepishly, one of them said ‘we love listening to your accent’! If only the had heard me 20 years earlier!

Have a nice evening.

[True Blue American]

19. Come on guys, I have a Southern accent I have never been able

To get rid of. I just laugh when anyone asks me where I am from. Lighten up.

The furthest south I have ever lived is north of the Ohio River.

[SlogginThroughIt]

13. Man I have read it all on here now.

[NoMoreRepugs]

22. Seriously??

[McKim]

23. Yes, We Can Learn from Your Comment

Yes, we can learn from your comment. As a retired English as a Second Language teacher, in my opinion, it is no longer polite to make fun of, parody, or mention accents. It others people and can be interpreted as anti immigrant. We can grow and leave this behind us in America, the land of immigrants.

[cwydro]

45. Can we laugh at people who pretend to have accents?

Hilaria Baldwin, Madonna?

[luvtheGWN]

40. I (sort of) beg to differ.

If we are to believe the earlier reports that she is "fluent" in 5 languages (not especially rare for Europeans) then one would expect her accent when speaking English to be much less pronounced.

Yes, mocking anyone for their accent is mean. But for her, not so much.

[BobTheSubgenius]

42. Linguistics are not at all rare for Europeans.

My sister did her Master's at Oxford on 100% scholarship and bursary, so she was obviously very intelligent. She was completely fluent in both of Canada's official languages, and told me she felt like a bumpkin on arriving there, because the minimum number of languages spoken by anyone she ever met was 3, and as many as 6.

[cwydro]

44. Wow, you must have missed all the folks who love to pretend to be southern here.

They're usually pretty bad at it, but they do their best to mock a southern accent.

[Lunabell]

32. Now do her in french

or whatever other language she allegedly speaks.

[bucolic_frolic]

33. "Satire linguist! Stat!"

Do you mean where pee-pee becomes 'oui-oui'?

[BobTheSubgenius]

43. I heard she can quote hourly rates in at least 5 languages.

Can make change in all 5, too.

[Clash City Rocker]

7. She worked for them and they took her job away, but she's not fired?

That sounds like the definition of “fired” to me.

[crickets]

10. Sure does.

I don't understand why they were still 'friends' at this point.

[True Blue American]

20. They weren't. It was clear in the friends voice.

She was smart enough to keep all records and tapes.

[Vinca]

12. Does Dior make an orange jumpsuit? Asking for a friend.

[PatrickforO]

17. Well, if it were possible to think even less of Melania than I already do,

this tape did it.

She is a sociopath just like her husband.

[Quixote1818]

27. Yep, she really is. nt

[Jarqui]

18. K&R ...nt

[Arazi]

25. I thought she might be the one Trump who might escape prosecution

I guess not. They all belong in jail

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. You can make inferences, but what we heard there is not enough.

[TheRickles]

29. Melania actually sounds more intelligent and on top of this issue than I would have thought.

However, because these two women talk over each other, and it's such a short snippet, it was hard for me to see what they were really talking about. If Melania is explaining why her friend's contract was terminated, that's one thing - but it's not a criminal cover-up over misappropriation of funds. Yet - maybe (hopefully) there's more to it, because this doesn't sound like a slam dunk to me.

[Jetheels]

31. eva braun reincarnated as stripper?

[SayItLoud]

35. Secret Federal Pardons.

The States need to step up and in.

[Evolve Dammit]

36. That would be funny if she got locked up before Orange Julius.

[demmiblue]

38. ...
