Allow me to update this thread with some new developments:

"Writer Meredith McIver Apologizes for Copied Phrases in Melania Trump’s Speech" [WSJ]

From the released statement: "In working with Melania Trump on her recent First Lady Speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people. A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama. [Wow! Few on this site would share that feeling.] Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama's speech as examples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech. I did not check Mrs. Obama's speeches. This was my mistake..."

That's worse than I'd thought. We learn that Trump's wife includes Michelle Obama among the persons who have "inspired" her, and that she has "always liked" her. (I was hoping that this time we'd have someone in the White House who isn't inspired by Michelle Obama.)

Yeah, I read that. Guess Melania isn't into politics, but is getting an education on it now. The Trumps have wined and dined with people from all backgrounds, even having the Clintons around. That's what happens when you're a billionaire mover and shaker. As for me, the only wookies that I admire are in the Star Wars movies or at the zoo. But they don't inspire me.

Supposedly they're a small subset of the "Bronies" (Adult men who are into "My Little Pony")...

I had a Brony coworker, a man in his 60s...

I'm thinking that MLP porn has to be as disturbing as anime porn.

Some of the trends these days are truly bizarre.

Oh, dear. Rule 34 is one of those inventions I wouldn’t think anyone would want to own. But here you are...
