Or we could consider another WaPo writer.

No, she didn’t have to say anything. But, unfortunately, what she did say was worthless, because what she did say was a lie. There is one person who can end this tragedy immediately, and he is in the White House, and she has a “complicated” marriage to him, and he ain’t a Democrat.

This is a bullshit story, a she-said-she-said story. Maybe she said it, maybe he said it, maybe somebody else said it or nobody said it. It’s fucking hearsay.

There are no “both sides” involved. Her husband started this uncivilized practice and he alone must stop it. Why is she still married to this child abuser? She is putting her own child at risk remaining under the same roof.

Does anybody know where she is?
Is there a FLOTUS protection program?
I read somewhere that she is a bot, which would explain a lot.

Then she should have spoken to the actual issue. Better she had said nothing. She could have taken a moral stand, like a human being, but passed. She didn’t want the job, and acts like it.

Yes.

Hitler never looked back. Why should we expect our Hitler to do it?

The most recent report of her whereabouts put her in New York a couple days ago.

And speaking of sweltering children’s detention facilities in Texas: how in the fuck do you air-condition a tent? Someone made the point that it must be like trying to cool your house during the summer by leaving your refrigerator door open.

I doubt that “Melanie” knows what’s going on or even cares, quite frankly. She’s as far away from the WH as she possible can be and still be said to be in the District of Columbia. The regime uses her as a prop, no more no less. For some reason, they’re is starting to feel and respond to backlash. Can’t quite put my finger on why that might be:

Maybe it’s because this is one of the most inhumane treatments of human beings (children, FFS!) since the internment of Japanese Amer., OR slavery of Blacks, OR extermination of American Indians,…you get the picture.

Sorry, Mel - ya gotta “be besterer” than that.

She is about as effective as Susan Collins in tempering the graft, extortion and treason being conducted by her husband’s administration. Neither of them are willing to break with him. I refuse to accept the battered women theory being used to excuse their cowardly behavior. Male Republicans are acting in the same way. None of them have a gun to their heads.

It seems Mr. Rucker didn’t read a goddamned word of Melanie’s phony bothsiderist statement.

Yeah. I read it. Both sides of the aisle finally coming together?

Bullcrap.

Both sides also tried to come together, and her stupid moron husband refused to support it.

Melania didn’t say the words however Rucker is interpreting them.

Hey, tRump beat up Ivana at one point, maybe he took a swing at Melanie too!?

That said, I wish this lame bitch would STFU and stop pretending she gives a shit about anything beyond her botox, Pilates, and acrylic nails. Oh, and face-lifts that have rendered her with the face of a rabid cat.

The military has been using air conditioning tents in the Middle East for decades now as our Unending War on Terrorism marches on and on and on.

We might as well send these kids to a refugee camp in Syria where at least the mothers there could comfort them. Right now toddlers are being left without any human contact to deal with their grief. It doesn’t get any more uncivilized than that. Air conditioning is the least of their problems.
