get involved in business, he stated he "felt sorry" for her, because he made her into all she could be, like a project, and then he got bored with her because she was done.

That's why he had to fuck Marla Maples.



But she was way too not obedient, so

BOOBLANIA! Wife who do not speak so too much talking very nice.

When some young kid comes in to the clinic with an unremarkable medical history, normal vital signs, and in no evident distress, and insists: "I gotta have Percocet, man! It's the only thing that works!", it's because he wants to Be Best?

Who knew?

If it's about the children, then opiod abuse seems a strange pillar.

What does "opioid abuse" have to do with helping children. Also, it is hard to get much more vague than "well being". Not to mention, she mostly framed social media use in the context of "bullying" - which is how the person she is married to uses it.

I wonder if the entire "well being" is how her brain distorted Michelle Obama's always well thought out, meaningful programs --

a garden with the children's help and teaching them to want to eat healthy foods. So what did Melania do? When she finally decided to relocate from New York (which she didn't really want to do), she came in an bulldozed over the garden, her first week there. The garden wasn't for her, it was to teach the children to like vegetables, by growing them themselves. Then she comes up with this incoherent name for her Platform for children, "Be Best". Now if Michelle Obama had come into Washington, DC and introduced a program called "Be Best", they would have called her ignorant, and illiterate. But no one dare say that to Melania, although that's what everyone is thinking since she launched it.

Actually, I read that her assistant told her it made her sound illiterate and suggested she change it, and she said, "No". She said that the suggestion made by the assistant was too close to her husband's platform. Funny, I can't even remember what it was, the assistant suggested, but at the time, I thought the assistant was right and Melania is just too stubborn, and too proud, to take constructive criticism. So "Be Best" it is, although everyone is laughing at her behind her back, because it sounds ignorant. So she spends tons of money to send her child to a private school in Maryland, and her Platform as First Lady, is incoherent, and behind her back, everyone is laughing at her. Her child seems withdrawn, and you never see him with children of his own age, so perhaps she better keep an eye on him, because he seems withdrawn, and a likely candidate for opioid abuse.

years-- if such things mattered to her she could have studied English and learned to speak it impeccably. But apparently only the latest pair of $800 shoes matters to her.

She doesn’t care about any of this and is only doing it because it is tradition for First Ladies to have a cause to champion.
