Oh FFS with the righteous indignation. Where were you when Republicans were calling Michelle Obama an ape, or saying she was transgender?

The only issue I have with Melania is she married trump and stuck with him (yes, same for Hillary). Kind of hard to be anti-bully and also support him. Message loses some of its luster.

The interesting part is that had Melania been a first lady to a Democrat.... WHOOOOO buddy. The attacks would have been off the charts (more so than they already were). She's cool though, she plays for the right team.
This is a weird take, tbh. The attacks are off the chart, and were throughout the last four years...but "those people" would have been worse and stuff, so ok?

It's funny that folks who purport to be pro-woman and pro-immigrant seem to think it kosher to label this woman (and Ivanka for that matter ITT on the last page) in mysoginistic and xenophobic ways.
Did I not just say the language thing was bad? Sorry... what? It's stupid. I don't know if that post is mysoginistic? Could you explain how that particular post, saying that it's nice to have someone who has class and heart is mysoginistic? Bad people are bad. Just because they have a vagina doesn't mean they're free of judgement.

I'm not sure how you can look at the treatment of Michelle Obama vs the treatment of Melania Trump and start clutching pearls when someone says Jill Biden has more heart and class. I know... I know... "Who's clutching pearls?!?!?"

As to my original point: formerly posed naked, immigrant, and hated Christmas (that one is only half joking)... the GOP would have been on that like a dog on a bone.

lol that's 'calling them out?' A bothsides comment (surprise, surprise) and a non-opinionated statement that someone flipped her off?

I seem to remember melania on tape being an absolutely awful person. Guess we should forget about that

I listened to a montage of the media fawning over Biden's inaugural. Holy hell. Chris Wallace called it the best speech he's ever heard, and made a note of saying it was better than JFK's "ask not" speech. Each bit of hyperbole by these "journalists" was worse than the last.

It was so bad Politico actually put out a piece ridiculing it. I wonder why a vast majority of the country doesn't trust the media?

Ahh... Another reasoned response. You believe the nonstop adulation was warranted? I get that you're overjoyed to have Trump kicked to the curb, but what exactly was wrong with that Politico commentary? It literally just reported on all of the lavish praise.

Non-stop adoration? Dude gave a really good speech yesterday, and is being recognized for it. I don’t care if Wallace is being genuine or not.

It was a really good speech. I agree. Wallace said it was better than JFK, which is silly.

After the infantile presidential oratory of the past four years, any normal speech would have sounded incredibly good. Biden gave a great speech.
