We need to talk about Melania Trump’s Out of Africa wardrobe {the left sinks lower}
The Guardian ^ | 10 Oct | Hadley Freeman

Posted on 10/12/2018 2:31:52 AM PDT by Cronos

Ooh, it’s a tricky one, isn’t it, Daniel? On the one hand, seriously, is that woman actually wearing a PITH HELMET in Nairobi? And, on the other, are we being unfeminist talking about it? Where is Andrea Dworkin when you need her, or maybe just Emily Post? Let’s hear from Trump herself, as she gave a marvellously huffy TV interview about this very subject when she was in Egypt last week:

“I want to talk about my trip, not what I wear. That’s very important, what I do, what we’re doing with US aid, what I do with my initiatives, and I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear,” she harrumphed. And yet, her words might have had more impact if she hadn’t said them while dressed like Belloq the Nazi collaborator from the Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark. I’m sorry, Melania, it’s just really hard to listen to a woman when she’s wearing the clothes of one of the most famous fictional Nazi collaborators of all time. Call me crazy!

I read the article, yawn. My takeaway is simply damn, that woman can make anything look good.

Look, if someone wants to be offended they're not going to have to look too long or too hard to find something to whine and bitch and moan about. Trying to go through life without offending anyone is a fool's errand. It is impossible in today's snowflake coddling society. Heck, there are snowflakes offended simply at being characterized as snowflakes - which is a wonderfully self-proving axiom. If you are offended at merely being called a snowflake, you are in fact a snowflake.

She is hands down the best looking first lady in American history. Blows the doors off the last one.

Orde Wingate was a fundamentalist Christian born in India and credited with saving India from the Japanese invasion.

The Brit war hero also trained Jewish militias in the British Mandate before he was banned from the Land of Israel by the Brit government. The militias he trained became the Israeli army. He is well remembered and honored in Israel.

He died in a US Army Air Corps plane crash and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Andrea Dworkin is dead. The sow died years ago from complications of obesity. They had to bury her in a freight container.

Ping to the First Lady's List.

Why she is the very model of a modern major general is all. :)

I thought her outfit was appropriately stunning for a first lady. What do they want, sweatpants like Michelle?

Meanwhile, Michelle Obama is “resplendent” and “sassy” in a tube top and flip flops.

Her response should be: “You don’t like my clothes? Get used to it.”

Google what UK Guardian says about Americans who own guns, especially their comments section. Condesension, vitriol, and hatred, kind of the same attitude they show for our First Lady.

Britain, your day is past. Too bad for those UK soldiers who admire Tommy Robinson; they will have hell to pay.

Oh I’ve read about Wingate, all right. In fact, I said quite a bit about him in my podcast, a few months back. To hear it, look up the “History of Southeast Asia Podcast,” and go to Episode 48.

Teddy Roosevelt apparently was a Nazi. I didn’t know that.
