You just follow that gaslighting fakestream pressitute pied piper wherever it tells you to go, don’t you?

[Yo-Yo]

Whoa, wait just a minute. Do you mean to tell me, that in addition to speaking fluent German, French, Italian, Slovenian, and English, she is also a master of HTML code and create Federal Trade Commission websites?

She gets more amazing all the time!

[silverleaf]

Whoever did this should be fired
Whoever hired whoever dic this should be fired
My God who manages the vetting process of people allowed to be close to the Potus and his family???

This

Exactly. Nothing is new, everything has been thought of or invented before...

Except of course, transparent aluminum. That is new.

She didn’t design it. The FTC did. Trump and Obama both promoted it. Neither had anything to do with the design. Good grief.

[al_c]

Slight correction ... the FTC probably paid a designer somewhere to design it. They own the design. They can publish it as many times as they see fit. And any First Lady can help promote it.

Anything else you wanna blow outta proportion today? Your masters have instructed you to divert attention from more important substantive news. Keep it up.

[miss marmelstein]

Thank you; you said what I was thinking but couldn’t articulate. What goes out under a First Lady’s name, I would assume, is written by bureaucrats.

The Daily Mail kicked Katie Hopkins to the curb.

Nuff said.

Heads should be rolling.

"As first lady Melania Trump unveiled her 'Be Best' initiative on May 7, the campaign’s brochure about cyberbullying for parents was released. The brochure’s back cover promoted a non-functioning Federal Trade Commission website"

Heads should be rolling at the FTC.

[al_c]

Heads should be rolling at the FTC.

Never fear ... they'll find someone to throw under the bus. Probably the brochure designer.

[luvbach1]

She used guidelines from a government publication. Nothing wrong with that.

When conveying previously published factual information it's hard to make it sound like new information.

[rdcbn]

That two diagrams are just official government iconography presented in a different way.

Calling this plagiarism is like accusing the administration of plagiary if they print FEMA hazmat or disaster signage in their updated documents

[knittnmom]

The Beeb did not include a link to the brochure, so can’t verify whether or not either first lady is listed as an author. So cannot verify or dispute their article. Nice.
