Wouldn’t it be a crime to submit this affidavit with a forged signature?

Pfft. They didn’t pay her $130,000 to not talk about an affair that never happened. That would be extortion. Of course it happened. I read yesterday he has this cockamamie theory that the greater the age difference between a husband and wife, the less she cares if he cheats on her. He’s just a damn cheating-on-every-agreement-ever slob. Honestly the only interesting thing about the whole situation is if we’re going to see the first Presidential separation in history. That would be kind of cool. From what I’ve read she’s pretty steamed.

Pretty sad that Kimmel does better investigative reporting than many of the stenographers at various newspapers.

So that’s why they arrived (and left) the STFU, er, SOTU in separate cars last night.

ETA Then again, she’s reportedly been staying at a DC hotel lately.

@clunkertruck posted this photo earlier. He said it should be shared so …

The expressions on the blonde woman’s face is pretty interesting too.

@mattinpa '…the only interesting thing about the whole situation is if we’re going to see the first Presidential separation in history.’

Strikes me that we already are…in slow motion and with a fair amount of ham-handed artifice. Even Melania knows that she can’t throw his clothes out into the Rose Garden - but that would be …another distraction.

Should have asked her if she’d be willing to release her tax return for the year she’d have received the money. That 130k is probably going to stand out.

Well huh–she really did send a message last night. Remaining seated is clearly the FLOTUS equivalent of taking a knee. And just look at the pride shining in her eyes! She’s clapping like a colleague at the office she doesn’t much like just blew out the candles on a birthday sheet cake in the break room.

can a signature with her ā€˜screen name’ ever be real ?

I’ve asked the question before on TPM in this connection, but don’t remember getting a reply.

You may be right. But personally, I don’t detect that much enthusiasm.

I’m pretty sure that’s a given. In fact, the good money is her staying at whatever hotel Cockholster hates the most.

If she had any class she’d start appearing in said hotel’s ads.

There’s real and then there’s legal.

Kimmel’s point is that the signature in question isn’t even real, never mind the legality of it.

@mattinpa Oooh, yeah. She looks positively thrilled to be there. And remaining seated? Ooof!

but it can be legal ?

Don Jr. says he ā€œgot a leg workoutā€ but obviously that wasn’t true of everyone. Heh.

OK, so she could have signed it ā€˜Minnie Mouse’ and the only problem would be a copyright problem, but it would count as a legally binding signature ? I guess it makes some weird sense. Thanks !

I never wanted to get on the ā€œshit on Melania trainā€ though I may have said some unsavory things way back in the beginning of this mess. I really don’t care if she worked modeling while on visa or posed nude or married a (fake) rich guy. Small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. So, I just think if she is going to make trump’s life uneasy we should consider if not supporting her on this at least back off a bit and give her some room. I know comments here or anywhere on the web don’t amount to a hill of beans but it’s quite obvious she hates him as much if not more than we do, and not just because of the Stormy deal. So at least we have that in common. And if she tries to do anything like separation or divorce (I doubt divorce) you know the right wingers are going to threaten her…bigly. I would not want to be in her position, then again, I would have found a better rich guy to marry than this dip shit, NYC is full of them.

Just thoughts. No one has to agree.

Also too, Ha, I bet she’s NOT staying at the trump hotel in DC.

I’m with you; Melania isn’t the problem here. And she seems miserable. If we were friends I’d tell her she’s young and could make a new life for herself and be happier.

Absolutely. And if anyone is a #metoo, she is.

Yes, in many circumstances.

In the US we have what’s called the ā€œUniform Commercial Codeā€ (UCC) a long-standing attempt to standardize certain legal requirements across the country. Section 3-401(b) of the Code says that a signature may be made ā€œby the use of any name, including a trade or assumed name, or by a word, mark, or symbol executed or adopted by a person with present intention to authenticate a writing.ā€

Bear in mind that the UCC is not law per se. It is merely a recommendation as to what laws each state or territory should put in place. While much of the UCC has been adopted widely, there are still local variations.
