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!

Just as I have been saying ever since the 2016 election season when I noted that Hitlery chose Tim Kaine as her running mate: ALL LIEberal women are noxious, venomous harridans, and ALL LIEberal men are noxious, venomous assholes!

Here is the back story on how and why I use these terms to describe LIEberals:

During the 2016 election cycle, I was suddenly struck by the notion that Hitlery was a harridan. I have no idea where I got the word “harridan” FRom – it just showed up one day in my mind when contemplating Hitlery.

Merriam Webster defines harridan as an “an angry and unpleasant woman: shrew.”

So, I began to call her that every time I had cause to comment.

Then, certain character traits began to stand out, and the words noxious and venomous came to mind.

Once again, we turn to Merriam Webster:
noxious = “physically harmful or destructive to living beings;”
venomous = “expressing very strong hatred or anger”

AHA! Hitlery is a noxious, venomous harridan!

A bit redundant, perhaps, but certainly appropriate in Hitlery’s character and conduct.

“Noxious, venomous harridan,” now that I give it more thought, applies to most EVERY LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrat woman we poor suffering “Normal” Americans have doing unto us before we can do unto them!

Now, some time later in the election cycle, I finally realized that Tim Kaine, among other male Democrats in public life (Ophonybama, EVERY male member of his administration, DNC members, etc., etc.) were ALSO harridans, and I went looking for a term that would apply to a male “harridan.”

I could not find a word for a male harridan in any reference work I searched!

One of my buddies over at FReeRepublic.com suggested “asshole,” which on first glance just may be too strong a term to use, and certainly not in polite company.

HST, here is Merriam Webster’s definition of asshole: “a bad, stupid, or annoying person.”

WELL! A male noxious, venomous harridan = “noxious, venomous asshole!”

LOL! I love it! And, the academy (in the form of the Merriam Webster dictionary) got it right!

IMHO, then, most EVERY LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrat man is a noxious, venomous asshole!

So, in the appropriate places and at the appropriate time, I intentionally throw these female and male slurs at LIEberals. I am having a lot of fun with this!

“She was treated in a psychiatric unit during six different periods between ages 13 and 17”

Why’d they stop?

Yeah, she can’t win with the press. If she had worn something more casual, like a Tilley hat, they would have said it was sloppy or too informal for a FLOTUS. I thought she looked very nice.

No one on the left complained when Hillary went to Vietnam and wore a Viet Cong Straw Hat.

Did anybody really think with helmets were problematic before the Twitter mod declared that they were problematic?

Show me one person in the whole world worried about the colonial implications of pity helmets before this became the biggest story on the internet. Just one.

The Great Pith Helmet Controversy seems more like PC satire from someplace like 4chan.

Pith helmets had been losing favor in recent decades to slouch hats, but pith helmets have been making a fashion comeback in the last couple years.

Note that all our PC Journo-Listers love colonialist ‘safari-type’ attire for covering the Middle East.
