ReConTarian Sandbox

I have no idea, and I'm dying to know because there is no way that wasn't thought out.  I hope she writes a tell-all at some point and spills the beans.  

I don't think it was for the media.  I base that on absolutely nothing other than a gut feeling.

Nope, not me.

Yep, just checked my area. Not a rally scheduled for miles. In fact I couldn't even find a trace of a suggestion of one.

Nope, none around here!

I did see where Antifa put out a list of 1600 ICE employees that included their names, photos, and job titles.

Antifa

I'm sure they just wanted to expand their Christmas card list.

Well then conservative. If you cared you wouldn’t be a trump supporter. You guys had your warnings about him being too much like Hitler. Too late to turn back now. I know you guys hate it when we say that but I’ve always been taught if it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, walks like a duck it’s a duck. If looks like a Nazi, walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi it’s a Nazi.

You didn’t read what I wrote. UNFORTUNATELY he was right. I hate to admit when he’s right.

I posted a link above.  

I'm glad that got brought up here as I was dying to discuss it but refuse to do so on that absolutely nasty other thread.
My DIL and I were discussing that coat last night. To put things in perspective, my DIL teaches diplomacy and public relations at a university. Her emphasis is Middle East. Her sympathies lie with Palestine. So you can imagine how much we have in common politically. But here's the amazing thing--we can actually discuss politics without screaming and calling each other names and end up still loving each other to death! 
  But back to the coat: We agree with what devildog said above. I think Melania has had enough! She's held her head up high when the left went to rallies with "Rape Melania" signs. She's heard her accent mocked when she's tried to fulfill her role as FLOTUS (but heaven forbid she retire to the background--then she's criticized for NOT filling the role). She's seen comedians hold her husband's bloody head up in effigy. She been criticized for her expensive clothes (guess we've all forgotten Jackie Kennedy and Nancy Reagan who most certainly matched her in apparel costs--but you know, it's different because this is TRUMP's wife), she's weathered the vicious press hounding her every move--even saying that she couldn't have had that kidney procedure because she was in the hospital longer than the press thought necessary, so it must have been a face lift---or, even MORE likely, Trump beat her and she was recovering! And now she hears a famous (whether you young'uns ever heard of him or not) actor suggest that her CHILD be ripped from her arms an put in a cage with pedophiles. All this from the left (and a lot of it agreed with by the left on this very forum). And I think she had had enough! I absolutely agree that it was a stick-it-in-your-eye slap at her critics.
   Even my DIL agrees that Melania has had more than enough. But she and I agree too, that she shouldn't have done it. It was not classy and it WILL be remembered to the day she dies. She has been nothing but a class act so far as FLOTUS, and I wish she'd kept it that way. But I admit that I have a teeny-tiny bit of respect for her courage.  I hope that you all note that I said "I THINK" throughout all this. I cannot believe all the Peas who have posted on the other thread stating their opinions as absolute fact. No one knows the real story. We can only give our opinions. 

that was my opinion too, and I have to say, I probably would have done it too--despite it being a "bit out there!"  I like her, even though I'm not that thrilled with her husband. 

Huh. I wonder why the White Civil Rights Rally permit was all over the news here this week? It is going to be in August.  I can’t believe it wasn’t on your news.  www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/politics/charlottesville-washington-white-nationalist-rally/index.html

Then you didn’t pay attention to what some people said about the obamas. The effigies of Obama’s hanging from trees. Being compared to monkeys. Some of the hateful things I heard come out of my family in the south’s mouth. I’m sure the south was the only place it happened. I don’t remember Michelle wearing anything disrespectful and unprofessional like that. And what other First Lady hasn’t been scrutinized! Wehave no skeletons in our closet but if my husband said tomorrow he wanted to run for president, I would say over my dead body!
To tell you the truth Trump does strike me as being an abuser. I guess it’s his tantrums and the way he blew up at the football players. Calling them sons of bitches. Talking about grabbing women’s pussies. Treating him on his wives. He doesn’t strike me as having high regard of women.

Yes, horrible what Michelle went thru.

Maybe one day we'll get to a point where the personal attacks and the like stop.

excuse me. I said AROUND HERE--and DC is definitely not around where I live, so as for your "ignorance" and "uninformed" comment, I'll leave it there-but you can be very condescending at times, and it's not appreciated.  You are not the only one on the board that is informed.
