I heard from a neighbor ( most times reliable ) that she saw a clip from a show that will be aired soon. Anyway , she said Melania said she said something to the effect that she is the most bullied person out there ; so just curious , could she mean by her husband

( guess if I was interested enough to hear more I might figure out when and where the tv spot might air.  probably if like most times i will have too much else to do that check tv ; could be a good thing for me though  ).

I had interpreted that as her implying the media and liberal organizations pick on her, not any complaint about her husband.

My understanding was she was complaining about the media focusing on what she wore..... as she was wearing a white mansuit in the desert.....

I know that kids from families with limited resources can be bullied about the clothing they are given to wear. The First Lady has full freedom of choice in what she wears. Is questioning her choices really bullying? (Truly open to being convinced it is.)

I had the view on and that's what they were saying.

They really didn't come up with any concrete where or when's.

Just "media".

I know I have heard about "catty" comments and there was an issue with some headwear choice in Africa being insensitive. Is "I can't believe she wore that" bullying?

It was on "the view".

I understand this show is the bastion of fair, when it's political.  There is no unproven premise being advanced for public consumption.  (humor)

It was about media reporting on her clothes.

I wasn't aware it was on that show. The neighbor I am referring too works at the area school library then - elementary school. I think she said she saw some promotion about whatever show is going to be airing an interview. The media and Melania's clothes ? not sure I could get very interested in that.

This is what she said:

"I could say I'm the most bullied person on the world," Trump told ABC News in an interview during her first major solo trip to Africa last week when asked what personally made her want to tackle the issue of cyberbullying.
"You're really the most bullied person in the world?" ABC News' Tom Llamas asked during the exchange.
"One of them, if you really see what people saying about me," Trump said.

www.cnn.com/2018/10/11/politics/melania-trump-be-best-initiative-bullying/index.html

She said that she COULD say this as she was saying it. So there is more than a little of the politicians' hedging her words in there

[whitney]

As to the female species and I am sorry if this offends anyone , though in this instance I think the observation is accurate.

My mom is a day shy of 93 , does pretty well for herself , luckily all 4 of her kids , though we live various locations all pull together and ensure we each make her life remains as independent as possible. ( We can get into some seeing the world quite different ways if religion or politics particularly the gun issues in the county ; not mom though. )

So she lives near mom and dads home in a nice assisted living /independent living condo/ small house senior oriented place.

What we laugh about is how when each of us didnot particularly like with jr high style mean girl behavior . now seems to be repeated maybe not quite as often but non the less that same jr high style behavior with a core group of females there. Complete with arguing over the elderly men; jealous type stuff.

My mom sometimes seems tempted to enter into sort of stirring it up and it takes all 4 of her kids to remind her not to do that; jr high wasn't that great the first time around.

Michelle Obama was subjected to intensely harsh criticism, from how she dressed and especially how she she looked. They called her everything from ugly to an ape.

Did she ever whine about how she's "one of the most bullied people on earth", like a little bitch?

She did not. That woman has class.

[ken a.k.a OMK]

There is no comparison between Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. Michelle has intelligence and class. Melania is arm candy.

My DW's grandfather (long passed), when he was in the retirement home, would fight and argue with the other guys, pushing and shoving even, when someone would sit in 'his' chair.

 LOL  , DW , I guess that is what is referred to as " the territorial male ' man. 

The latest from my call to mom this evening and to let me in on the latest at what her senior complex calls ' the supper club ' ( for the later time choice for dinner - like mom- cocktail first - to celebrate 5 pm as it is always 5 pm somewhere ) ....

this incredibly nice man , a retired pastor and former husband of my mom's best friend , in heaven now , has let the 'club' know he has asked one of the ladies that he met in tai chi group , to get married. Now he is 93 like my mom and his soon to be second wife is 90. So my mom tells me the over 90 friends are not so sure about this young trophy ; and honestly I can not even tell you the conversation my mom relayed to me about this engaged couple. It is just too much for me  , it involves gossip of how he stalked her and what kind of guy is he anyway and on and on . I reminded her this man is the same man that with her best friend and my dad , down on Siesta Key beach as he hoped and prayed so much this would happen ; he was the pastor man that baptized all my kids at the same time ,so she and dad could be there on their favorite beach at sunset to see this all happen.

I think it is a good thing she is getting a way at her favorite restaurant tomorrow for a nice family gathering for her 93 birthday including even her great grandson age. ( she likes him best ) .

One earned degrees from two Ivy League colleges: the other falsely claimed a degree from the U of Ljubljana

One plagarized a speech from the other

One was a high powered attorney prior to becoming FLOTUS; the other took her clothes off for soft porn magazines

One showed class and grace while enduring obscene racist attacks; the other whines about being “the most bullied person in the world”

One has a husband who loves and respects her; the other has a husband who treats her  like trash 

One is a role model for young women: the other is not

Nope. No comparison.

[whitney]

IMHO I thought Michele Obama was/is awesome. I don't know though  GG , she did get a bit carried away with showing her shoulders ; and please don't forget the shorts on vacation!

Melania Trump hopping right in with support of the birther movement as with her husband ,  I sort of have tuned her out. She acts like a stooge for her husband , seems to me too often. 

If she is able to accomplish her stated goals in helping children ,  I will have respect for that. She has met with some kids in difficult circumstances already and I like that.

What's wrong with wearing shorts on vacation? It's vacation!
Trump wears shorts when NOT on vacation. Different standard for women?

[whitney]

Now that's frightening !

With the woman , it may have been particularly upsetting to the usual suspects , due to skin tone maybe not so much gender.  Just a thought.

Talking about the economy is almost too good to believe, now we had a jobs report this morning saying there are more jobs available then can be filled by candidates.

That's the one.  4/5 women sitting at a table.

I think I saw Whoopie Goldberg ? (sic)

It was on in the fitness center.

I shouldn't of said 'I' had it on.

They have about 100 TV's in there, lol.

I'm not much on morning talk shows.

When I drive into town(s), I think every business in town has a help wanted sign in front, in some form or another.

I've been living in this area of Arkansas for 18 1/2 years now.

Never seen anything like it.  

Fortunately, it has gotten to the point businesses cannot find any illegals to hire these days.
Businesses will have to start hiring some local democrats!

Your stereotype humor says a lot. If the jobs you see advertised were attractive to the unemployed people there then they'd apply. 

[ken a.k.a OMK]

 on your entire post. No idea what you are talking about. 

Don't vote party, vote for what's best for our country. Don't waste your time telling me the GOP is best for us or you will be making a fool of yourself.

Back to the threads subject. Lost $80k in 2 days last week. Made back $53k yesterday. I have dividend stock that pays well and will at the end of the month.

Possible time to increase work permits ..

I know dairy Industries are in dire need of workers..it's reaching critical happenings as majority of workers are foreign, yes many illegal...dirty, dangerous jobs that Americans don't want..$10/$12 per hour...crazy long hours...

Immigration just picked up 23 illegals from one dairy farm...no one to milk cows...twice a day..cows unmilked..udders destroyed..cows destroyed...Donald said it's not in his job description to milk cows or clean up their shit..American workers are saying the same thing..

Mexican workers are saying.."I'll milk em, clean the shit up"...Were saying.."nope , sorry...your going to rape our woman, break into our homes, kidnap our kids...you have to stay on your side of the border...."

Like that's going to happen.

The only work I've seen a Democrat do, is fill out the forms for assistance.

(This is stereotype humor for the sensitive)

Comments like that is why country is so divided, so full of hate. In some cases against family members...Really not amusing.

In some cases actual violence can and will arise...already happening in some of the Donalds rallies..encouraged by him...

Possible it will get to the point when first responders arrive to help the first thing they will ask a victim is "Hey dude..who u favoring in the next election?"

[whitney]

So maybe employers will consider hiring some of the unemployed willing to work but due to past hx such as a felony or maybe a hx of having trouble passing a drug screen particularly if that screen indicates solely mj use or maybe if a current screen indicates solely mj use. There seem in the state I live in quite a few 'help wanted' signs for jobs that do not require a high level of skill or a high level of educational achievement.

If they don't want problems in this country, follow the rules of entry, and leave when the rules say you have to.

We live in a country governed by laws.  They apply to all inside the border.

Break the law by sneaking in, you're a criminal upon the first step of entry.

Same thing goes for leaving.

Don't leave when the visa is up, you're a criminal.

Same old, same old...they broke the rules, the law...my s**t does not smell..I have never ever broke a law..never ever didn't cheat on taxes..shop lifted..

Criminal...deport em…..What about the 800,000 kids here through no fault of them selves, the dreamers...they are as American as u and your kids......how about INS targeting families...been here for decades...deporting the mother , father...never caused problems...paid taxes...

Obama told INS to go after the criminals..the criminal criminals, not those who were here illegally...just cool it with them...have em registered, show up once a year..go home, work , raise the kids..

Trump and his people...here illegally...forget who, what, family disruptions and worse...deport em..Make my quota of pickups this week  .."lets check out these businesses...."
