I am glad they are not trying to restore any luster via our fantastic First Lady!

And not a peep from the press. But be a Republican and misspell potato...
That is the first time I’ve seen her wearing something I hate.
I love Melania, but that outfit looks like something Michelle would wear.
It seems for the past decade or so, their reportage and general attitude seems to have morphed into "yeah, so what of it?"
How many times was the angry, America hating, ugly fat assed wookie bitch on covers?
Mrs. Obammy was and is more manley than her beard.
“I’m fine not seeing our President and First Lady invading every single aspect of our lives.”
Amen to THAT!
They used up all their ink putting the Mooch on their covers.
It’s probably for the best. The msm would use it as ammo to dis her.
This is what NBC calls news no wonder they get treated like a dog that barks at nothing all night.
You’re right; it isn’t even concealed anymore. They don’t even pretend they aren’t the public relations department of the Democratic Party.
They sure did when they were running all the “shes unhappy” stories about her.
exactly.
THAT’S Melania!?!
I presume you mean the advertisement? No, that’s not her.
No crotch scratching??
Give the wookie a break — An ill-fitting jock strap sometimes needs adjusting.
A dilemma none of them vaguely perceived when the Obamas were le dénier cri.
They've been peddling the idea that the Empress had clothes for so long, they can't bear to be made a fool of by a genuinely tasteful, genuinely beautiful and genuinely fashionable woman. Who is genuinely a woman.
