The 'bought and paid for' remark is particularly nasty in view of the fact that Melania has been above criticism as a first lady.

She keeps her mouth shut and walks behind him, no wonder the Saudi's approved

Moving to greet someone? I see you didn't watch the video earlier.

She was peeved at him for something, for sure, but you assuage yourself with whatever you want.

Here - maybe this will make you feel better. Just like the one you have on your wall in your living room:



Bolo baby, You have no idea ... what was going on between the First Couple.  If it make YOU feel better to think they are fighting, I don't care.

I do not idolize Trump and I never have.  I'm just slightly fond of fairness and truth.

I did. 

Now stop taunting me @AllThatJazzZ .... it's unattractive and annoying.

 :seeya:

Translation of RIV's post:

I'm the one qualified to determine if someone is appropriately reflecting their faith.

Now stop exposing my hypocrisy. It makes me look unattractive and that's annoying me.

Now, be gone with ya!



OK, RIV. I'll drop it. I just felt an obligation to expose your hypocrisy.

No need to be spending time translating my post @AllThatJazzZ ... again:  I consider your taunting to be unattractive and annoying. 

I don't give a flying eff what you do ... just do not involve me.

Clear enough?

None of it is nearly as bad as the crap that pours from the forum's higher morale and righteous---uniquely Christian wing.
So now we're Christian-bashing. Nice.

I went back and checked and this topic is not a critique of other posters' foibles.  Please stay on topic.

.... You have no idea ... what was going on between the First Couple. 

If a gesture such as that has deep meaning, or not, I really don't care.

I have only been married for 49 years, and if my wife declined to hold my hand, I wouldn't think anything about it at all.

To me discussing it at all, is merely another chapter in the #nevertrump trivia game.

The assumption is that he had a wide base to begin with.  Hillary was actually that bad where he was an acceptable alternative.  Depending on who they run in 2020, he's extremely beatable.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Well, I've been married for 35 years, and if reached over to hold my husband's hand and he pulled away, I would definitely think something was amiss.  In watching the video several times, note that Donald walks several paces ahead of her and then extends his hand to her.  He tends to walk in front of her rather than with her.  Common courtesy, is you wait for your spouse.  She wears extremely high heels and perhaps it is difficult for her to keep the pace; perhaps Trump steps in line with others which leaves her trailing behind.  Him leaving her behind was never more apparent than when he left her behind getting out of the car at his inauguration and walked ahead leaving her behind to meet with the Bammy's.  I felt sorry for her.  The polite and gentlemanly thing for Trump to do would be to walk with her arm in arm at a pace that is suitable for both of them.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

   I too @LadyLiberty have been married for 35 years (took 3 different women) and I agree with you, GWB knew how to treat First ladies.

Wow. Seriously? Perhaps you'd like it better if W did like those graduates and walked out?

There is a significant difference between being classy (which W was, no doubt) and aligning yourself with the enemy for decades, like Trump did.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

#1- people with narcissistic tendencies are never gentlemen. (Think Barack)
 
#2- people who are self-absorbed don't have common courtesy

It is highly unlikely that Trump's marriage(s) are anything like yours or mine, where mutual consideration is  how the relationship works.  His wives are trophies.

And before anyone says we can't possibly know what their relationship is like, think about the conclusions we were able to draw about narcissist Barry and his pretend wife...
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

The current Trump criticism aside - this much is certainly true... I have been guilty of it myself, unawares.
Never in a dress and heels of course - I've had enough country etiquette thumped into me to treat a lady as a lady, and if she is decked to the 9's, I am almost instinctively, formally so.

It was my third real relationship - That was the particular girlfriend who informed me that it wasn't pleasant for her to be dragged along up a mountain... I thought it was helpful, and it still feels that way to this day... I am still prone to it... But her sitting me down and explaining it to me in simple factual terms, has enabled me to check myself at the first complaint. My stride is likely to be twice hers, and me stepping out for real is something most women will not be able to manage.

Your point toward common courtesy is not to be dismissed. True enough.

Whatever. Not very important, in my view. I don't get involved with the daily Melania clothing threads, either.

I think this visit to the Vatican was deeply meaningful for the President and especially for Melania.  Here the Pope is blessing a small Crucifix--as she asked.  There's a lot of feeling all around in this photo.
