Are you guys really talking about this?

I saw this a couple days ago. Oh the irony.

It's not this thread that's made it a big deal.

Armchair, in another thread, predictably went off with his disgust about it. Good stuff.

LOL at all the criticism both direct and hidden in "serious analysis" about Melania's choice to wear high heels to Marine One.

OMG - who wears heels to a hurricane?

No surprise, many of the feminist writers are the ones attacking her for the clothes she decided to wear.

Who else is sick of adding "gate" to describe a controversy?

What did Michelle wear when Obama visited NJ for hurricane Sandy?

Oh right, she didn't go. There was an election to win.

You want to compare Melania--an Eastern European model who barely speaks English and might as well be a mail-order bride for our creepy president--to the eloquent and intelligent Michelle Obama, a Harvard Law graduate? Southern men never tire of embarrassing themselves with stupid comments--but then maybe the problem is that, like Trump, they don't embarrass easily, and so we get a continuous stream of idiotic comparisons with the Obamas. There is class--and there is crass. Learn the difference.

Melania speaks 5 different languages you ninny.

 

[Grand Vol]

You know, if all the left can complain about is what Melania wore onto the plane and Trump's comments taken wildly out of context, I'd say he's got an A+ for the response to Harvey so far.

I wasn't comparing the qualifications of either. The fact is Melania went on this trip, Michelle could not be bothered with Sandy because she was too busy hustling people to contribute to her husband's campaign. Imagine if Melania did that this week. It would be tone deaf, callous, self centered, etc. I think you personally would have an aneurysm posting about it. Instead all the media can find to pick on on is her shoes as she left the WH.

And what's the hangup with "southern men"? Were you spurned by one at summer camp or something?

Yes. We should start a thread about it, and call it Sickgate.

I dislike Donald Trump because I think he is ill prepared to be the leader of our country and seems to have no interest in learning on the job. That being said, people that waste time insulting Melania or Michelle are pathetic. Who cares what she wore? Are we really wasting our time criticizing first ladies and their choice in apparel. GTFOH.

Melania has done nothing to deserve liberal ire other than marry Donald. Likewise, people sought to demonize Michelle were wrong. It's low hanging fruit to attack fashion choices whether it's the first lady or Obama's mom jeans or Trump's orangy glow.

Well, since you have made it so easy, you are crass and have zero class. You are correct. There is a difference.

Agreed.

 

[Grand Vol]

Obama's mom jeans

I agreed with everything until this point. The Mom jeans were certainly worthy of ridicule.

Unless, of course, you're taking it as a personal affront since you like your mom jeans as well.

You must have hated Obama then.

that seems pretty racist IMO

Talking about the media? Yes.

Actually, I wasn't a huge Obama fan. I just thought, much as you and others do now about Trump, that he was unfairly targeted. This board thought I was a huge Obama guy, but it wasn't the case. I thought he was an average president, but he benefits by following Bush II and being followed by Trump.

Meet the Vogue writer who criticized Melania's shoes..😂

Lol.

There has never been enough liquor where you could make that attractive.

Seemed to be working. The Reuters reporter showed where 4 feet of water was down since yesterday. 😅

Yet, she makes other things rise.

She is magical.
