The culture is NOT "shifting towards the right," it's actually going left and has been for years. What's shifting is the criminality of the right - shifting into sheer lawlessness with attempts at election tampering, full-blown disregard and violations of the Constitution, and as we know, presidential overreach and corruption.

Vanity Fair is woke, folks. It's not going to compromise that by putting that Nazi hag on its cover.

That fat bitch with the sister wife hairdo is before the literal Supreme Court, RIGHT THIS MINUTE, because she refused to issue a marriage license for gay couples.

Imagine him barging his way into 21 or La Cote Basque with the other fancy rich kids, snapping his fingers at the waiter, and barking, "Hey garckon! Gimme a fuckin' hamburger, well done, and a Diet Coke!"

Serious question: Why would they (or for that matter, any mainstream magazine) even consider putting Melanie on the cover in the first place? What's her claim to fame? What's her hotsy-totsy accomplishment in life?

I mean, I suppose it's too bad for her that she picked the wrong rich old fart to hitch her wagon to, and now everybody hates her *almost* as much as they hate her scumbag husband, but I'm not seeing how that means she rates a magazine cover. Are they doing pity covers now?

In her mind, he was the perfect rich old fart because he has been her cash cow for 27 years. She spends lavishly on herself, does as she pleases (as long as she doesn't try to divorce him, which would probably result in her having to live in a trailer park somewhere and live on baloney sandwiches). She doesn't have to play First Lady anymore and doesn't even live in the WH. Imagine the fun she's going to have when the rich old fart kicks the bucket.

"oh sweet Jesus, he’s 79 years old and possibly dying of whatever is causing his gangrenous hands to rot off, and he still craves one moment of acceptance from the actual “in” crowd."

And he will never get it, not ever, and I'll tell you why.

All the wealthy New York City "silk stocking" families almost certainly have a "Fred Trump" in their history, especially if you go back two or three generations. The difference is that, in the intervening time, they have gone to expensive schools to learn how to walk and talk and dress and play sports and use the right fork, and they also did some sort of charitable/cultural thing to at least ATTEMPT to scrub the family name clean and not look QUITE so much like a bunch of crooks and/or slobs.

Not Lord Goldfish. The same way he knows that baggy suits, four-foot-long ties, and the combover from hell ARE TOO a good look for a fat old man, he can't be bothered to slap a passable exterior over his disgusting interior. He knows better than all the professors at all the name schools, he's too fat and lazy to ski or play tennis, he eats nothing but McDonald's hamberders that don't need ANY fork, his charity steals from children with cancer, and his idea of "culture" is... well, he's literally planning to have pro wrestling on the steps of the White House.

You can't have it both ways -- not even if you're a spoiled shit with an absolutely grotesque sense of entitlement. He wants to hang out with the other rich kids (who are not-so-secretly appalled by him, and wouldn't let him do their yardwork, let alone date their daughters), but he doesn't want to do any of the things necessary to accomplish that -- worse, he feels he shouldn't have to. Since they can't be bullied, and since he has no other tactics, he's left sitting alone in the corner to oink resentfully.

"No, the story is that the new editor of Vanity Fair, Mark Guiducci, thought it’d be really cool to put Melania Trump on the cover."

Mark Guiducci? Boy, that's a name that screams "douchebag." What does he look like, Google? Yikes. Even worse. And get this:

"Vogue's Creative Editorial Director is from Southern California, but considers himself a born-and-raised New Yorker."

That was the VERY FIRST TEXT at the top of the page for my search. Trust me, the threat to walk is fucking real. Mentally, VF staff is probably halfway out the door already. Flee while you still can!

Haven’t we been here before?

During Trump 1.0, there was a big MAGA generated controversy because a fashion magazine (Vogue or Vanity Fair, I think ) wouldn’t put her on the cover. Despite the bullshit, the reason was she refused to be interviewed for a cover story.

This will end the same way…….they won’t put her on because she’ll refuse to be interviewed, and the MAGA snowflakes will go nutso.

Refusing to work with people with whom you disagree is ridiculous,” Timpf said. “And it is a lesson these magazine staffers need to learn because people everywhere are starting to realize it … Greg may be right when he says this is evidence of the culture shifting towards the right. But it could be a shift not away from the left or even towards the right but towards a culture that doesn’t decide the value of a person based on politics.

These are the people who threw a boycott of oone of their most beloved brands because that brand dared do do a promo with a transgender person.

Just as a reminder.

Trump not only refuses to work with Democrats, he is constantly insulting them.

Ta, Evan. Melania was never a fashion model. Her modeling career, if it can be called that, consisted of tasteless nudes. And the RWNJ freaked out when Lady Michelle bared her arms!

Remember, at every protest, spontaneous or organized, the chant is EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN!!

Is Guiducci trying to kill Vanity Fair? Trump supporters may buy a copy of the magazine, even two, but they’re not going to subscribe.

What could possibly be written about her that would be even slightly interesting? I remember when Vogue did a cover story on Melania, and it was obviously a struggle to come up with anything interesting to say about her. She literally spends almost no time with the orange shitweasel or even at the WH. She doesn't seem to have any interest in her old "Be Best" project, doesn't visit school kids or any of that stuff. She's been reported as being holed up in the penthouse at Trump Tower.

Great read! If she shows up on a newsstand I see and on the cover of Vanity Fair, it will be my personal mission to cover that and all future issues with Ree Drummond’s Pioneer Woman mag. Or a Paula Deen.

Or deface the cover with a Hitler mustache on Melania's mug. Any marker or pen could do it in a flash!
