I remember when Ivana had all her work done.

Right after their very public and nasty divorce. Got herself a complete facial overhaul. And neck job. And other stuff, too. Spruced herself back up again.

She looked like a million bucks. Vogue magazine put her on the cover. It was sort of a "up yours, donald!" type of gesture.

Only problem with that strategy is - that great youthful look you can get from a VERY good plastic surgeon only lasts a few years. And then time and gravity start outshouting it, and then you're faced (pardon the pun) with a choice. Do you keep going back and getting tweaks and tucks - fighting the inevitable - til you don't even look like yourself anymore? Or do you just relax and be with it, and let nature take its course?

Having covered multiple American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award events, they always brought out "Old Hollywood," I could see this in every celebrity who strolled down the red carpet. You start looking like a gargoyle after awhile. Facelifts don't age well. None of those procedures sustains for more than a year or two.

MANY reasons why I would doubt his claims. Especially re: that facelift business.

Mika Brzezinski is a public figure, and a news personality, who makes her living on television. As such, there is NO possible way she would have had a facelift so fresh that it would be "bleeding badly" this close to New Year's Eve to begin with. A facelift for New Year's Eve would have been done weeks earlier, allowing for plenty of time to heal and normalize before one went out for the evening. Particularly a New Year's Eve evening, and one as high-profile as an appearance at a Mar-a-Lago event with the Ultimate Publicity Whore (The Donald) as the host.

But the main reason I would doubt his claims is because of him. He's a liar. A congenital, pathological, unrepentant, unrelenting, proven, and very well-documented liar. I rather enjoy adding the adjective "congenital" to descriptions of him as a liar. That's the word CONservative columnist William Safire applied to Hillary Clinton long ago, because he hated her and liked the sound of it. I'm taking that word back and applying it where it actually belongs: to trump.

Welcome to DU, PelicanScot_V3!

Did you create this?

Got a big fat GUFFAW outta me! Glad I didn't have a mouthful of hot tea when I first saw this pop up on my screen!

A lot. Times two.

Although he's at an age where facelifts don't help much, anymore.

He's so deep into projection by now that this makes me wonder

when one of HIS facelifts got bloody.

June 29, 2017

Good point.

That's exactly what the CON worldview has done. Driven our country off a cliff.

Both of 'em by now.

She's a former model so I'd suspect she'd be into Botox, particularly at her age. Gotta keep those appearances up, especially at this level of visibility and image-consciousness. Possible use of fillers in her cheeks could explain why her eyes don't open all the way.

As for him, NOBODY ON EARTH is more image-conscious than this jerk. And for him, I'd wonder how many facelift scars that weird hair is covering.

You aren't exactly a looker yourself, Donald. Nice glass house you live in.

Okay, trumpsters - you're okay with this, 'eh?

Maybe this is what YOU are?

Those who still stand with him must do so because they ARE him. They must like this mean-spirited juvenile pissant shit. This must be who THEY are, too.

That's all I've got, anymore. That's the only way I can even try to understand those who think this is proper and reasonable "presidentin' stuff."

They're evidently okay with this. So then, one is forced to ask - is that who and what THEY are, too?

Hey, America! Meet the REAL Death Panel!

We finally have one - for REAL!

Yes, Virginia, there really IS a Death Panel. And McConnell is the Death Panel chairman. With his trusty sidekick Paul Ryan as Vice Chair.

Well how 'bout that. Ol' Michael Isikoff is actually investigating something of SUBSTANCE.

Couldn't get his nose off that stained blue dress to save his life. OH MAN was he obsessed.

At least with this, he's digging into something serious, legitimate, and powerfully significant.
