Sorry, as I already referred to this in another thread. $100,000 isnā€™t a scandalous amount of money in this administration, but the fact that the media was willing to let the Trumps dictate that the photos be used only in ā€œpositiveā€ articles IS scandalous. I donā€™t hold up that much hope that we will ever fully recover from this destruction of our values and principles.

Sorry, but this gets rid of any good feelings I got from the refugee camp visits (that and the $39 jacket).

Wow, no mean stories for Melania.

Is this a positive story about her? Are these Getty images?

I really donā€™t care. Do u?

I actually had a tiny bit of sympathy for her at one time.

Now sheā€™s just feckless.

Grifters gonna be griftersā€¦and letā€™s stop making excuses for Melania and Ivanka as if they donā€™t grift just as much as the boys in the self-serving Trump family.

I never had a feeling for whether she was a good or bad person even if I assumed her only reason for marrying Donald was to get money. I mean if that was all about selling yourself we all have our personal devils. And this doesnā€™t make me think less of her and in fact makes me think she might actually be somewhat smart. However it really lets me down to realize how fucking dumb some of the non-tabloidial press is.

Where do the Getty images come from anyway? The White House photographer? Thatā€™s just messed up. Taxpayers pay for that, dollink. Letā€™s impeach the First Lady too, while weā€™re at it, and the whole whole damn family.

I cannot grasp the need for money at the level these people do. It is all so damn empty.

The photos are also tagged with a glaring stipulation: they can only be used to accompany positive stories.

What arbiter makes that determination?

Absolutely amazing. They grift right in front of everyone and the ā€˜supportersā€™ defend them. Meanwhile whining about Mueller and insisting on a new investigation into Hillary. Good lord.

Yummy!

To be fair, publishing anything but gushing puffery about her would be ā€œuncivilā€.

Their supporters ADMIRE them for their grifting.

And some people still thinks that this ex-courtesan is some kind of victim. Greedy, greedy, greedy. Wonder if there is anything that Melania wonā€™t sell.
