Melania Trump Unveils the 2018 White House Christmas Decorations, and They’re Straight Out of Gilead

[Right_in_Virginia]

I love going on Thanksgiving vacay in Palm Beach and coming home and the servants have the house decorated for Christmas.

Reduced to quoting hate-filled socialists ---"conservative" women sure are an interesting group.

At this point, I wish I had servants to decorate the house. My knee is killing me and it's hard to lug boxes of decorations down the stairs.

I got a low cost way to solve your problems....

BTW what the hell is Gilead?

It is a place that may or may not have balm.

There was a time a few years ago @goodwithagun when women would be insulted by anything resembling your post.  Now even self-proclaimed conservative women jump in and up the ante.  Asking where self-respecting women went has nothing to do with "peeing in Cheerios" --- another classy example --- it's a serious question.   

Try remembering there's a high road, too.

You cheerlead for a guy that joked about grabbing women by the  . Do not lecture me on the moral high road. You took the detour around that two years ago.

Many conservatives here gave up posting pithy, fact based responses to you since when we do, you disappear and refuse to respond.

Well then let me lecture you about the Moral Highroad. There is an accident on the southbound Moral Highroad at the 95 split with a huge gaper delay in the Northbound lanes. Keep to the left lane to avoid too much of a slow down.

Darmok and Gilead at Tanagra.  His arms wide open.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

The problem with this scenario is that the metaphors are meaningless without an underlying story. Telling the underlying story requires actual words. They cannot create a metaphor with other metaphors which have no meaning without knowing the story of those metaphors. This episode was stupid, in my opinion.

We can say for example, 'Scotty on the Enterprise...too slow', which would translate to, 'Damn it Scotty I need more power, or we're all dead!'. But there is no way to know the meaning of the phrase without knowing who Scotty is in the first place. Nevermind. I'm just being overly pedantic. Suspension of disbelief is hard for me when the plot of the story is so stupid that it becomes insulting.

Hey, how 'bout them Christmas decorations!

Oh.  I thought they were referring to the balm.

WTF is hate filled about loving the work your servants do?  You have something against servants?

She couldn't very well have decorated the Florida home by herself from Washington, DC, now could she?

Exactly!

And that, my friends, is why we all should aspire to have staff at our second (and third - and in the case of Teresa Heinz Kerry, fourth and fifth) homes.

I do have staff, if by staff you mean kids. The seven year old knows how mommy likes her coffee.

I knew there was a reason we should have had children. Alas, too late now!

I think the decorations are beautiful. I am even a fan of the red tree hallway.  I love that it triggers the liberal Handmaiden snowflakes.  They don’t realize that constitutional conservatives are the people who would prevent a Gilead from ever happening in the USA. Democrats are the ones that want a government to control people from the cradle to the grave.

Yes, I will lecture you on the moral high ground because apparently you are in serious need of it.  You are a woman degrading women--- for the fun of it.  This has nothing to do with politics or political trade offs.  What you post goes to the core of how you think of yourself -- a deserving object of sexual innuendo and ridicule.  Shame on you @goodwithagun   You should be better than this,

Oh for cripes sake @goodwithagun  --- once again: I have a life outside this forum.  As delightful and engaging as this place is, I find real life to be rather compelling and tend to linger there.  So stop taking it so damn personally if I do not respond immediately to your pith.

Yes, there's TOS to post at as well.

The last few years we have paid  a local handyman husband and wife couple to decorate our house for Christmas. My wife and I both hate putting up and taking down stuff.  We love Christmas just not the work aspect.

They do everything in one day. Best $300 spent.

We do pick out our own tree and cut it down at the local tree farm.

If we had kids it would be different.

The thing is, the times you’ve been cornered by others you are also posting on other threads, clearly not living life outside this forum. I don’t take it personally, I actually enjoy that you have been bested and can’t graciously accept it. It’s fun.

It’s always fun when liberals point fingers, because then I know exactly what they are themselves guilty of. I’ll just drop a link here so you can be reminded of exactly how degrading you are to women. http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,341605.msg1853481.html#msg1853481

As for the object of sexual innuendo, I’ll remind you again that the guy you cheerlead for has had no fewer than three wives, bragged about sex on Howard Stern’s show, and recommend grabbing women by the  .

Climb down from that high horse and take a look in the mirror.
