Brent Bozell, he was one of that special “never Trump” National Review issue if I recall. Maybe if guys like him would have been supportive at that critical moment back in 2016, we would see a whole lot less of the insanity today on the left.

The sales of Timberland boots will be far, very far, greater than the sales of Mooche’s boots.

Edited for accuracy.

What's the problem with her choice in boots? Were they a fashion faux pas? The wrong color or style? Did they simply not go with the rest of her ensemble? (hard to imagine, she seems to make anything look pretty darn good) Are Timberland secretly made in China? Was it cultural appropriation, should they only be worn by a certain demographic? (racist to be sure, but trust us, it's not racist if a lib/leftist says it) Was wearing these a snub to some other footwear manufacturer whose product she should have worn? Did, gasp, one of her SS escorts show up in the same boots?

I really fail to see the reason for the feigned outrage.

What would they have her wear, spiked heels? In fact it really doesn't matter - and that's the point. Anything the President or First Lady does, says, wears, etc. will be wrong. The leftist/fascist mainstream media will find some angle, some spin, some way to criticize. Even better (worse), they will make this over-inflated and undeserved criticism seem like the end of the world as we know it.

Spending four grand on boots should be a felony.

Is that the cost or the weight?

"Michelle Obama's Balenciaga Tour Boots Are $4,000 of Glitter Goodness" -- Glamour magazine.

I don't want to take a cheap shot, but if she'd heard of the movie and musical Kinky Boots, she might not have worn those books and showed them off. As I understand it, the story runs pretty close to the worst things people say about her.

I’ve seen platform boots on 11th Avenue worn by hookers that looked more attractive than what the Mooch wore. Meanwhile, our gorgeous First Lady gets bubkis for looking like a million dollars.

“—”Michelle Obama ‘breaks the Internet’ with her 3000-pound thigh-high Balenciaga boots” — Yahoo Style UK.”

How did she get her 5,000 pound @$$ into them? Where do you get size 14 “ladies” shoes? She looked like the ‘Tin Man’ from Wizard of Oz in them. Oh well...at least her penis didn’t show in that outfit.

The complaint is that Timberland is a relatively cheap, prosaic brand. It does not impress fashion writers. It is patronized by provincials.

Imagine these people as a cabal of gossips at the court of Louis XIV.

You’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter what she wore; the press vultures would find something — ANYTHING — to condemn her for. It’s beyond petty, as Bozell points out.

I saw a Facebook post saying that the reason liberals hated Melania’s boots is because they can’t stand anything that resembles work boots.

Can you imagine Melania doing a Nancy Sinatra video remake w her stamping on libby faces to the tune of “These Boots Are Made For Walking”?

Come on boots!

Or max load?

What would have really made Libby heads explode would have been Melania throwing on a camo jacket for a few photos. One borrowed from one of our military real guys or gals hopefully not trannys.

You’re right, it is beyond petty and striding into pathological territory at a steady jog... Most of us here have known for some time that leftist/liberals suffer from some genuinely serious mental issues. But now it is coming out on full display for all to see.

These media trash-spewers are little more than stalkers. If they weren’t hounding Donald Trump and Family, they’d be following little girls around playgrounds.

Trump promised to revivify the American Dream, and he is making good on his promise. Yet, he has disturbed the upper classes of our society. He has disturbed the governing class, the elite class, the patrollers of political correctness, the keepers and formulators of the Kultursmog. One of the most pompous, albeit most lonely, of America’s elites is the never-Trumper.*

Big name Never Trumpsters and those who pretend to be loyal Trump people and stab him in the back on various sites might want to think about the Trump curse.

Excellent analogy. These are the same prisses who tut tutted their way through Louis XIV’s court and wound up losing their heads at the hands of an angry mob at the guillotine. May they suffer a similar fate.
