Why would I do that? Firstly, I’m not as petty as a liberal and secondly, her husband, our president, is a billionaire and the taxpayers don’t pay for her clothes. Melania, what first attracted you to the billionaire Donald Trump? Been hitting the sauce, have ya??

Are you going to complain about how much money she spent on it? Every democratic first lady got raked over the coals by the Republicans. Why would I do that? Firstly, I’m not as petty as a liberal and secondly, her husband, our president, is a billionaire and the taxpayers don’t pay for her clothes. It isn't the democrats that complain about how much money someone spent on a dress, that is all Republicans.

It's the first time my tv has purposefully been on when no one was watching. He cares about the ratings, but his Billionaire's don't. I just hope he hits them in the head with his flying ketchup. Or causes them to fall down the stairs. Head first.

LMFAO You who has spent months purposely misspelling Kamala's name? That's not petty? And, I don't recall that our tax dollars have ever paid for a first lady's clothing, yet people from YOUR side are the ones who rake Democratic first lady's as huskergal said, "over the coals" for how much they spend on their inauguration outfit.

This is the most amazing thing to watch. My heart is full!! I know you love Trump and are so sure he's going to do amazing things for our whole country, but I have some questions for you. 1. You have hammered at us repeatedly since Trump won that he is only going to deport the criminals. You've also said that you are okay with immigration if it is done legally. So what are your thoughts now that he has just shut down avenues of becoming a legal immigrant in his first few hours in office? Are you okay with people who had hearings set up to plead for asylum had their hearings, that they had been waiting months for, cancelled? 2. You have repeatedly said that while you don't know how he's going to do it, but you are sure he will lower prices. How do you feel about him writing an executive order on his very first day that cancels protections Biden put in place to lower prescription drug prices for those on medicare and medicaid? Do you think this is okay? If so, why? To me, that is a big f* you to average Americans, who you think will have better lives because of Trump. I would love someone to explain this to me. 3. Are you okay with him giving himself permission to give security clearances to anyone with no vetting?? You've said you think our country will be safer under him. How will this particular thing make us safer? I could go on, but I will stop with these as they are my biggest concerns right now..

I don't care what they wear.

I can't wait to see what happens with the elderly and disabled and poor when their Medicaid/Medicare gets cut.
This certainly doesn't sound like helping Americans first. Quite the opposite actually.

Um no. Every democratic wife has been criticized by the right for wearing designer gowns. Every single time. I don't care what they wear. And Melania has been criticized for her outfits for both inaugurations by the left. They all wear designer gowns for these events. You asked me if I was going to complain about how much money she spent on it. My answer is the same as before. No, her husband is a billionaire and since the designer never said anything about the gown except about how honored he was to design her outfit, I am going to say that it was donated by the designer. But maybe she paid for it. What does it matter? I'm not sure how you want me to respond to appease you. Do you want me to criticize her for looking gorgeous or for the designer being honored? That won't happen. I'm sure that the designer would not be happy to hear that democrats think she looked like a nazi in her dress and hat. That's insulting to the designer.

The point the OP was trying to make is that the right is, once again, full of hypocrites who criticize democratic women of spending too much on their clothing yet don’t do the same with “their” candidates. Personally, I think Melania looked more like the hamburglar than a nazi. However, both are fitting for her husband’s interests.

As someone who is 18 months away from Medicare, I will admit that I am very concerned about what this administration will do. Thirty two year cancer survivor here (with a recurrence a year ago). Not to mention I have 6 meds that I take daily, along with a couple more that I take as needed. If turning 65 also sends me down a pauper's lane (after years of living under my means and saving and investing) simply because of my age, my country (and all the taxes I've paid over the years) will have let me down.

I was expecting to pay some kind of copay but we ended up paying nothing.

You are fine having people with no vetting no background checks having access to that information? My DS started the application process for his gov job and with security paperwork and hoops to jump through, took him about 8 months to actually get the job. These picks are being pushed through without so much as filling out an SF-86 which is a monster form needed for clearance.

That is wonderful for you both, right now.Interestingly, I had my gall bladder removed 13 months ago in mid-December 23 with an (unrelated to the gall bladder) cancer surgery two days later. Private insurance, and my coverage was also good. It will be curious how Medicare susses out a year, two, or three from now. As I previously stated, I expect Medicare coverage when I become eligible in 18 months will not look much like it does now and those of us who are over age 65 and retired will be screwed. Guess we'll find out in time. Hopefully you and your husband be just as happy with your Medicare coverage then.

Such a nice, thoughtful response when it would be tempting to post something snarky.
