your view is very "European". in Europe, this kind of stuff doesn't even pass for scandal, let alone investigation and potential impeachment. Not sure whether that is true in Great Britain, but in general this is true. That said, a few years ago a scandal homosexual tried to make a big deal about the major of Maastricht cheating on his husband. They sure regretted that after a deluge of protest that this was a homophobic attack. Huge first page public apology followed. I don't know whether that marriage survived but I really have zero interest in finding that out agree. GB is unusual in that respect. probably where we got our puritanical streak from.

No, they really did rip her guts out, as well as threatening, slut shaming and a million other terrible things. They refused to pay her dry cleaning bill! They would have loved to pay her dry cleaning bill. That poor woman was getting death threats, being slandered by the President and the First Lady, was being mocked and degraded on tabloid magazine covers around the world. And she was telling the truth!!! What the Clintons and friends did in that situation was despicable. Bill should have been a big boy and just taken responsibility for his own actions.

The Office will also "advance the interests of the United States and … carry on the agenda of the Trump Administration through advocacy, organizing, and public activism."
So now Trump is a community organizer? He will claim his is the best community organizer ever! but I thought being a community organizer didn't qualify you for office. or did I have that backwards?

I saw a picture of Hillary from when she was first lady. It reminded me how many people thought she would divorce Bill ASAP when he Presidency was over. Clearly that didn't happen. Melania might stay. From what I've seen they seem to genuinely care about each other and also recognize the political advantages they have as a couple. I've always wondered if when she passes we'll find out Hillary had an open marriage, she was just smarter about it. I have not seen anything outside money that makes me think the Trumps have anything to bind them as a couple. She clearly has no desire for politics so him becoming a right wing whack job holds no appeal. Could be wrong though. Not invested enough to care. She married him it's her business just like it's Hillary's. Trump isn't a politician anymore. It is all going to be parties and fame from here on out. That was the part she liked.

Melania might stay. I think if Bill had insisted on moving back to Arkansas, that would have been an issue with Hillary's political ambitions. I wonder of Melania will push to get back to NYC for social needs and how that might go. I'm not sure Melania gets a voice. I assume they still own that golden monstrosity of a penthouse in NYC. She is probably free to go when she wants. Hillary was always known to be a strong voice in the marriage, and politically ambitious. I think that is why so many hate her.

If Melania is "free to go when she wants", that gives her a "voice". An added factor is a teenaged voice in the household. Not sure how much Dad hears but you know Mom is getting an earful. And I can't imagine Mar-a-Lago being a dream home unless they are a Dustin Johnson wannabe.

Well qualified spending someone else's money Oh, you mean that 6 Catholic parish organization on the south side of Chicago where he started a college prep class, a job training program, and seminars on landlord-tenant law? After he graduated from college? Yeah that sucked Gladys, spending ALLLL that money down there in the ghetto. Whereas your hero was being sued by the government for housing discrimination against that same class of people. Sure is easy to tell what side your on.🧟♂️

Felt that way about the thing when she first started it. It was well over a year into the Trump Administration before she came out with it. I can easily see Donald telling her she is making him look bad and her doing something minimal to appease him.

Once on the gravy train, make sure you stay on. That has to be on the Loser's family crest ( bought at a flea market but appropriate)

Since the former president can't use Twitter, we should get him to join YMAM. I am sure moon/Laura , deminmaine , chiver78 , and all the moderators would love having him post here so we all could respond directly.

Ditto. There is ZERO chance I'd ever do that lol. No to mention, there's nothing we can do for him, so he wouldn't bother anyway.

So now Trump is a community organizer? He will claim his is the best community organizer ever! He's got some "help" -- turns out Tiffany is riding the Trump wave into town along with a few others: Dear Gawd, the hordes are coming. Wait until the humidity hits and their helmet hair frizzes and all that pancake makeup and glittery eye shadow melts.

Brian Williams rolls ‘wrong clip’ of Trump meeting with McCarthy
MSNBC anchor Brian Williams set-up an “exclusive” clip of former President Donald Trump meeting with U.S. Rep Kevin McCarthy (R.-Calif.) in Mar-a-Lago, then surprised viewers by rolling footage of the 1996 rom-com “Jerry Maguire.” Williams’ MSNBC guests Baratunde Thurston and Bill Kristol listened as “The 11th Hour” host introduced the piece with a deadpan delivery, asked them to watch it, then be prepared to discuss it afterward. The screen then cut to a close-up of actor Tom Cruise delivering one of the film’s more schmaltzy exchanges. “I love you,” a teary Cruise tells co-star Renée Zellweger. “You complete me.” A sopping Zellweger replies, “Shut up. Just shut up — you had me at hello.” The screen then cuts back to Williams issuing a faux apology to viewers. Complete article here: Link

She can fund raise for Be Best and use the funds to pay personal expenses. I think she’s just creating her own space away from Mar a lago. The private residence there is only 3000 square feet - if she has her own ‘office’ to go to, decorated her way, where her parents and her BBFs can all hang with her, she’s at least away from HIM. Organize an occasional gala charity dinner where she can dress up, mingle with swanky society- not a bad gig.
