Melania Trump entered US with 'Einstein' visa designated for people with 'extraordinary ability'
« on: March 01, 2018, 05:26:01 pm »

Melania Trump entered the United States in 2001 after receiving a green card visa designated for people with "extraordinary ability," according to a new Washington Post report.

The wife to President Trump was one of only five people from Slovenia who entered the United States in March of 2001 under the EB-1 program, which has been described as the "Einstein visa." This detail surrounding the first lady's immigration journey comes after Melania's own parents recently faced criticism for potentially relying on an immigration process referred to by some as "chain migration" that their son in law wants to end.

From Yahoo at https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/melania-trump-entered-us-apos-154111962.html

I don't think Yahoo is tired of Trump bashing but they have recently turned to Melania bashing, which may be a mistake as Melania is popular with everybody.

Makes sense.  They should have brought her to NIH and conducted research into her amazing resistance to HPV and found an alternative for Gardasil.

The source is the Washington Post, which does not give any source themselves for their claim.

I suspect fake news.

Of course it is, but that doesn't mean I should pass up an opportunity to post a hot pic of the smokingest First Lady since Dolly Madison's hair caught fire in the WH blaze.

Ed claims his mom told him not to take any sheet.  She forgot to tell him not to spread so much.

She passed in 2015, but she was.  As a nurse, she saw and said a lot worse than anything I’ve ever posted here.

Maybe.  Dad was career navy.  You know what they say about sailors and sea duty.  One hundred men go out, fifty couples return.

Anyone remember

Onyango moved to the U.S. from Kenya in 2000 and was denied asylum by an immigration judge in 2004. But she remained in the country illegally, living in Boston public housing.

Her immigration case made headlines before Obama's election in 2008.

Wong, who referred to Onyango as "Auntie," recalled her as "a fine, tall, elegant woman who was very good with computers,"

I'm sure we remember all the media derision of this immigration scofflaw.

Fair enough.  I’m here to say what I think, not win a popularity contest or explain myself.  People have preconceived notions and sacred cows.  I’m fully aware of that.

Dunno about preconceived notions or sacred cows with respect to Melania.  I just thought it was mean and unnecessary.  Not sure why you thought it fit here.

I’m not certain how saying she has immunity to the consequences of her husband’s libertine ways is mean, but OK.  You don’t like it.  You’ve made it clear.

It may come as a surprise to you but being a mean jerk isn't an admirable quality.  It doesn't make you wise or earn you respect.   Fine you don't like Trump but saying what you did about her was vulgar and inappropriate to the extreme.   It paints you as a person much worse than Trump because even he has some manners in public.

I usually don’t carry things over from one thread to the other.  They’re not generally relevant.  But since you’re strutting around as the ambassador of decorum and class, aren’t you the same guy that asked in a FL shooting thread if I got off thinking about dead kids?  As far as I’m concerned, you can go eff yourself with a brick, you hypocrite.

Yes and it was because you were displaying the same type of behavior on that thread.

That’s a provable lie.  I called Trump out on his willingness to put himself in danger at that school when he declined to serve during the Vietnam era.  You got pissy over it and made a fool of yourself.
