"her thick r-rolling Slovenian accent". One definition of high intelligence is being able to hold two conflicting thoughts in the mind at the same time. By this definition, the MAGAts are positively brilliant. On the one hand, they are in love with this Slovenian slut who can barely speak English. On the other hand, they wail how English should be the official language of the USA.
I have only two words for you about Moronia Knaus as we watch her husband slip further and further into physical and mental incapacity...... Edith Wilson.
What good kind people you Wonketeers are! So loving, so solicitous, so helpful, acting in so many practical ways to help the poor people you are all so concerned about. Not at all like that hateful MAGA, always jumping online and calling women misogynistic names. They're bad. We don't waste our time doing that, cos all it does to them is convince them that they're right, and that liberals are bad. Smug self righteous people, all talk and no action, but it makes them feel good.
Yeah, that dinner was weird. Not sure if her eyes were saying "Save me", "We own you", "You're my next husband, I'm available", "I could kill you", or what. Yeah, weird.
Self-steering Teslas crash and burn unless humans intervene, surgeons use remote surgical robots, soldiers pilot drones - this is the reality opposed to Mel’s AI fantasy.
An artist friend once created a very successful art performance for Mental Health Week, called "Label Jars, not People." It was a display of glass jars on shelves in the window of a Community Gallery. They had scotchtaped bits of paper on them, with written words that often provoke a knee jerk reaction.
Some were psychiatric diagnoses such as bi-polar and depression. Then there were popular slang words such as nuts, wacko, crazies.
Then she decided to start adding other words: vegan, fuzz, fatty.
Some word pairs: black/white, right/wrong, friend/enemy.
Every hour or so, she would don white coat, mask and gloves. Then go to the shelving in the window and randomly rearrange the jars, while people out on the sidewalk paused to stand and watch.
It was a huge success. So many pedestrians came to stand and look and reflect, it wound up being featured on first local, then national TV. A lot of people wanted her to take it on tour, but in the end she decided it would be too stressful for her.
10 years later, a whole lotta people in this city, some in influential positions, speak of the impact it had on them. It made them aware that perhaps they too easily and readily pigeonhole people they don't actually know, and that too often their reactions to people announce they belong to such and such group, is accept or reject them as an impulsive reaction.
Nowadays we don't talk about labels, or pigeonholing people: it's all about identity. But, once someone has identity, they usually seek to be in the company of others with the same identity. So here's the problem: does one self identify? Or does the group one seeks to identify with need to give you permission to do so? What if the group you seek to identify with doesn't want to accept you? Or if some of the group are happy to accept you, while others don't? Who defines what being that particular identity is? Who makes rules on how members should think and behave? Is it okay if I gatekeep, because naturally I am right, but if you gatekeep me that shows you're a bad person? When does a group become a cult? This has been on my mind a lot lately with all the talk of gender identity obviously.
So now I have to ask, what exactly is a feminist? Supposedly someone who supports and uphold women, and gives equal right to both men and women to live as they choose without having to conform to society's norms? Or an ugly hairy legged lesbian who just hates all men? A tenured professor of Women's Studies who writes academic papers that can only be read by other academics? A Christian missionary couple in the slums of Kolkata setting up a sewing collective where women rescued from sex slavery can earn an income to support themselves and their children? And then make a group decision what they will do with the profits.
A self proclaimed "Fat Activist" on Tik Tok, wearing heavy make up, proclaiming that all "skinny b*s" are fatphobic, that men who refuse to date fat women are fatphobic, but that fat men are not welcome in her Body Positive movement, denouncing Capitalism and the Patriarchy, and insisting she is oppressed because she can't find cute, sexy clothes in her size, and that airlines discriminate against plus size passengers by not offering them an extra seat for free?
Well, she is a feminist, so she must be one. And it would be misogynist of me to tell her she is just a self absorbed narcissist and stop lying to people by telling obesity is healthy. And putting a label on her. Cos she's a women, she has a agency, and if she chooses to think and act differently from me, that's OK. It's wrong for men to tell women what role they should play, but if I tell another women she shouldn't play that role because I as a feminist think she shouldn't, do I really have any authority to do so? Or does feminism no longer acknowledge hat some women do indeed wish to play more traditional roles, and they have the right to do so. Who is really taking away whose individuality here?
As another women asked, why is it that so many women call themselves feminists seem be nasty to women who don't agree with?
Feminists, fembots, misogynism. Whatever. It's a good feeling when someone gets to write an article criticising about someone they don't like, and gives logical and rational reasons for their opinion.
And even sweeter getting paid for it. Don't criticise the writer's ethics. Everybody gotta make a dolla.
Melania's making money. Cool to make money attacking her for it,
"narcissist" is a psychiatric definition that should only be used by someone qualified to make that diagnosis. Also, they would have to know her well enough personally, Which I certainly don't. Do You? However, it has become a vogue word and is now casually thrown by people with little knowledge of it true meaning at others they dislike. Remember how "woke" was/is used by MAGA as an insult to attack and hopefully silence anyone they dislike? It is useless for you to, let me say it for actually is, start calling Melania names. It is uncomfortably reminiscent of schoolground bullying. But in Melania's case she will never see it, so she won't be bothered by it. All you have done by labelling her negatively is make yourself temporarily feel superior, and in fact have done nothing to help the victims of Trumpism, nor made any suggestion of how to mend the country when it is hopefully ended. Propaganda to rouse the troops and make US hate Them more may be useful while the battle is still on, but there still needs to be some vision of how to reconstruct after the war is over. It is not enough to say They are tearing down our country and We need to destroy Them.
I see the old fashioned Biblical condemnatory word for a sex worker that was in the original post has been removed. Good. I was going to alert Robyn Pennacchia that some self righteous misogynist, either a Fundevilgelical or Catholic priest was trying to make a woman feel guilty about her sex life. And we all know what hypocrites They are and what They secretly get up to.
She is an Eastern European after all, She could be a distant relative of an earlier Vampire. You never know until you ask the question.

Melania, row that boat ashore
Hallelujah
Who is to say she isn't one herself?
What Melanoma said? What if it was written by AI?
The rape of E Jean Carroll? AI. Racist 1989 attack on the (now) Exonerated Five? AI. See? It's as simple as that!
Plus whatever "hoomanoids" means for our future of terror.
Perhaps Melons wants a Justinbot?

"[a]utomination"? Oh ffs. Why do they let her out of her formaldehyde box?
Or coffin in the basement?

I don't know what that this is: first generation hoomanoids, factory automination
I grew up using A1 on my steak, I had know idea it could cure cancer.
The secret ingredient is tamarind.
I pretty sure it's anchovies, or is that Worcestershire sauce
You would if you had an edumacation.
