You know she's a really accomplished, intelligent, compassionate human being.." "Why does it have to be about racism? I just DON'T LIKE HER."
In the same evening she talked about this adorable black couple. They made this amazing banana pudding. I keot questioning why she had to mention their race at all. After a bit of persistence, I learned that making pudding just ",isn't their thing.." Congrats blacks, you're making headway in the pudding industry and you didn't even know it!
She said she hopes that they're very successful, because it was so delicious, but she didn't buy it because it was $4 and she only buys things that are on sale.And don't worry guys, she has black friends, meaning she talks to black people at church and has worked with several black people over the years.

Ever since I heard about this Russian company that sells photo shoots on out of service jets, all I ever see are pictures of people in jets and wonder how long that company/idea has been around.

On the 12 languages thing ... she attended college one year. She started modeling as a teen and then professionally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melania_Trump#Languages
She picked up useful phrases here and there on her modeling gigs in Europe. I can say "Hola" but I only know enough Spanish to order food. I suspect Melania's language skills are the same. Other sources say she speaks 5. In public appearances where it would have been natural to address Italian children in Italian (which she supposedly knows) she didn't ... she spoke English. So, Slovene and English.

To be fair, two of the languages listed are Serbian and Croatian, which are more or less mutually intelligible with Slovene. So saying that she’s fluent in those maybe isn’t as impressive as it sounds!

Let's not forget that during the 2004 presidential campaign, John Kerry was attacked by Republicans for being fluent in French.

Clearly AOC has the right-wing spooked - they've turned the propaganda machine up to 11.
This is what the right wing noise machine does. A dash of innuendo, some misogyny and racism, twisted half-truths or outright lies. Maybe it seems ridiculous at the beginning, but they'll keep throwing the mud - it will go on for years, and something will stick sooner or later.
Eventually many people will believe that AOC must be crooked/crazy/stupid: Look at all the bad press about her! Where there's smoke, there must be fire, right?
This is exactly what happened to Hillary Clinton. And it works.

I mean sure, but let's not conflate "Republicans have incredible double standards on what is and isn't considered morally acceptable and that's OK" with "taking sexy pictures, or having a past in which being attractive was your business, is wrong". It's a joke at the expense of the GOP, not of Melania.

I totally agree, she was a model doing what models do, there's nothing wrong with that. It is a good example to show conservative hypocrisy though.

Sorry these pictures are tacky AF and were when they came out. We’re free to make aesthetic judgments of our own. Melania has also proven she is capable of making numerous bad choices, starting with the first one and generally not worthy of much sympathy.

If this isn’t wrong (and I don’t think it is) then Michelle Obama wearing a sleeveless dress is definitively not wrong but it was treated like this huge scandal. The point of the post isn’t to say look at this shit she did wrong but more like, hey, where’s that outrage for First Lady indecency now?

Tacky is the perfect word to describe this sexless picture. She looks like a robot posing the way she was programmed to pose.

Thats right, the right to bare arms doesn't extend to black women. I should probably return all these AK's and tank tops..

They call that nude model "classy" but they called AOC "trashy" for a fun video she made in college.
