    This was her unironic cause:

    Be Best was a public-awareness campaign promoted by Melania Trump, former first lady of the United States, focusing on well-being for youth and advocating against cyberbullying.

    Very good.

    Guess what? I'll be sure to let the Border Patrol know that they should send to YOUR house the next batch of non-English speaking Covid infected low IQ unmarried military age males from around the globe crossing our border.

    I bet they'll share some Fentanyl with you if you're kind.

    We'll throw in some unvetted Afghan refugees while we're at it. Parrrrrrteeee.!!

    Get the spare bedroom ready!!!

    Regardless of her husband's Twitterrhea, do you have a reason to doubt HER sincerity?

    1) This is a lie because CBP would just hang up on you

    2) That's fine, if you think english is the only thing spoken in my house - I'll be more than happy to welcome my new neighbors with a tradish Choctaw / Pawnee welcome meal of of backstrap and wild onions - anything to upset my dazzling suburbanite neighbors that like to pretend the HOA has any teeth to enforce anything

    You think? I mean, at 51 - all these injuries and old age are catching up to me

    You know, my Bible has pretty specific commands on how to welcome the foreigner - though, I could kick my NE & VA cousins for not burning the Mayflower and the Jamestown ships in the harbor and forcibly assimilating the palefaces

    Peace be upon his name

    I've hosted all manner of folks from BigSoccer in my home, what makes you think those folks would be any less welcome?

    Just tone deaf based on her husband's daily online shittiness.

    Given the public bullying of her husband and his cabinet members - it's a bit funny

    I thought she got a special talent visa, as a model. I mean, I guess some people call them genius visas, but I thought they were really for special talents. Like, I’m guessing MLSers might get the same kind of visas. If a Hollywood movie wants a particular Slovenian actor, that’s the type of visa.

    Being Donald Trump’s spouse and campaigning against cyber bullying isn’t funny? I mean, it’s really dark humor, but still humor of a sort.

    EDIT: Dammit, late again.
    Is this a mad lib, or are these actual thoughts that traveled from your brain to your fingers?

    I don't know what's in her heart. She or an assistant may have pointed out while brainstorming that Donnie is the most well-known cyberbully out there. Then turn to child literacy or spaying & neutering puppies.

    She may have received some good recommendations.

    I swore that Trump was going to release her immigration details when he became president. Lost to the memory hole I guess

    So really it's that she looked totally bummed, and that's some sort of disqualification for Serious First Ladyhood. Just trying to set parameters. I don't really understand the meaning behind creepy-as-******** notions of "hey baby give us a smile".

    If we played our cards right we could be judging Bill Clinton's job as 1st husband. He smiles a lot and enjoys public service.

    When the jew hate graffiti appeared early in the Trump presidency, an activist who had worked with Ivanka on social campaigns wrote a powerful screed on how the likes of Ivanka and Melania provide cover for Trump - especially with white conservative leaning women. Whether it's his rapeyness, misogyny, racism etc - these figures provide some respectability. Ivanka chose to stay silent on the worst excesses of the trump regime. Ditto Melania

    But worse than that they were active players in this crime family. They are complicit.

    Now I am willing to give the first lady a lot of latitude because it is a largely an outdated roll. But the office does come with staff, and where the first lady makes political speech - she is responsible for it (e.g Michelle's various campaigns).

    if you read the back story to the jacket - that was political speech. Melania herself has tried to apologise for it, alleging for example that it was a dig at the left wing media - but to wear that when visiting a child detention centre????

    It's a great example of how the OP lives in the upside down.

    Somehow the 4th estate is the bad actor when a Trumper does that?

    Or like the time she dressed as some south american dictator for the illegal trump convention rally at the WhiteHouse

    Please
