My impression is that she's a classic gold-digger. She made her bed with Trump, and now she gets to deal with the consequences. My best advice to her, while she remains Mrs Trump, is to resist all pressure to be a public personality.

Her intent it to keep the media from printing, reporting on, is publishing her husbands own words so they can't be used against him.

As first lady, they will be blocked from reporting his insulting words.

They accuse everyone else of what they are doing. It doesn't matter whether anyone else is doing it. After all, the media also just say that both sides do it, without any real examination.

Is it a mental loss of function? They have a choice. They don't have to watch FOX or listen to lies and foolishness from the media.

They should be able to compare what they have seen and heard and experienced for themselves, to what is being said.

We all have lived through the Bush years. We lost savings or houses or jobs. We have known the embarrassment of the stupidity in his leadership and his attempts to dismantle and dismiss our Constitution. We were aware of his concocted connection between Hussein and Bin Laden, his lack of responsibility for 9/11. We know that trickle down does not trickle down in a stream but a drip with most skimmed off the top for those in power. We have seem the rise of those who feel that they must put others, many are us, down to make themselves feel meaningful.

We have watched a woman fight and strive to help women's rights and children's health and broker peace among enemies, through her public service while being battered by her small missteps.

Trump has been selfish in all respects of his life to a fault and he has only been consistent in his ability to con the greedy or gullible out of their money with schemes of grandeur.

I guess it's the big picture that eludes them. Hmmmm.

We must all help everyone we know to go out and vote, as soon as their state allows.

If they see reality they will vote for Hillary!

Ya' got me when you talked about the "Bush" years!
SO much of what he did (you said) has so screwed us all over that any sane, rational thought and discussion of what a government could/should be is left beyond simple understanding.
I believe that we are still in the early stages of realizing and understanding of how much the Bush/Cheney crime organization f**ked us over and left our basic civil/communal foundation destroyed. It is going to take our country years and years to make us the "great" country that we once were - and it is NOT the country that the "hats and posters" want us to be.

Anyone who posts an opinion on the internet is classified as "publishing".

Donnie's attack on the First Amendment is not just opening an attack on established media outlets but anyone who expresses themselves in any medium. At least Donnie's wife has brought that foreseeable conclusion to the conversation.

All America needs is more lawyers.

His supporters are reveling in the feeling of 'coming out' as racist sexist misogynistic xenophobes. They describe going to his rallies and events as catharsis.

They are holding their ears and chanting LaLaLaLaLa Can't Hear You

Hopefully after Tuesday, they will crawl back into their personal swamps and fester out of sight till next time.

I nearly gag when I read or hear how she is so damned upstanding and honorable. Sorry folks; not buying that pile of bull shit for one minute.

She knows what side her bread is buttered on. She may or may not be an air head with marginal intelligence or a gifted bright mind, but I'm betting on the former, and willing to snuggle up next to the devil for her pile of gold nuggets. I'd call that shallow and greedy, lacking of morals and any resemblance of ethics.

Just more Drumpf soulless, greedy trash. A good representation of the basket of deplorables they represent.

Many women read or aggregate the deep natural power that is casual or cause that can inspire a human organism. In contrast, there is an infinite efficacy that can overwhelm men resonating in pleasure within the mind and the kernel to be able to do extraordinary things. Good or bad.


Those women endowed with a relaxed gift owning an avariciousness style, or that sexy slalom, slight or very subtle, exciting, yet prudent superlative, a civil innocence titillation giving rise to a roar of internal cupidity….

Every human being has that observational gift, to experience these gifts is normal, divined in these ordinary ways through slight body language impossible to prevent or ignore that symbiotic natural normal for someone else, especially the opposite sex.

One can feel torn up with a physical covetous, a lusty sensual feeling that teases and pleasures the middle and the intellect.

At the same time, casual conversation with innocent, pleasant personalities inspire impulse that resonates to incredible proportions that can overwhelm transcending pleasure thundering through giving way in a moment of love and limerence.

Or, in that civil conversational intellectual rampart, then bridged out of the idea in the real Earth at that moment in passing both parties say “The delight is mine”. Or thinking, that one moment made the day.

Thinking that moment is one thing, yet grabbing at it without mutual consent is wrong, that’s not governance that is tyranny.
