Reporters kicked off Air Force 1 after screaming match between Cheeto and wife.

Guess Melania's not taking the affair news well. And ShitGibbon is not taking the indictment news well.



Pesach 'Pace' Lattin @pacelattin

Reporters just kicked off Air Force one after Trump invited them after a screaming match between him and his wife. Reporters were physically blocked from taking photos I am being told.

Before Marla, there was Ivana. After her divorce, SHE wrote a book.
But it never got published because she had taken it to the guy who owns the National Enquirer, and he apparently told Don Sr. about it.
They came up with a plan. The Inquirer guy paid Ivana a 5 figure sum, had her sign a contract, but IN the contract was a clause that she could never talk about the book until it was published,
and Enquirer guy kept all rights of publication.
It was never published.

Melania Trump took a separate motorcade from her husband to board Air Force One, rather than taking the helicopter ride with POTUS to Andrews. Her spox tells @KateBennett_DC that it was just a "schedule" issue and "easier" to meet Trump at the plane rather than travel with him.

Bunch of garbage can liners. The National Enquirer endorsed trump so I guess that's why he's off limits.

But, irony of ironies.. the regular papers and online news orgs report on trump and it looks like trash from NE and the other LIAR trash mags.

marriage didn't last 4 years. He filed for divorce weeks before their 4th year anniversary and she received a paltry amount. Been scrapping to get by ever since.

...Prenuptial agreements can be useful in giving the spouse with the most to lose in case of a break-up more protection than the law would otherwise provide. Trump successfully used prenuptial agreements to greatly limit what each of his wives received in divorce. Trump’s first wife, Ivana Zelnicek, after an unsuccessful challenge, reportedly received a total settlement of $25 million, despite Trump’s allegedly multi-billion-dollar fortune and despite being married to Trump for more than 10 years. Trump’s second wife, Marla Thompson, fared much worse and reportedly received no more than $2 million, as Trump ended the marriage weeks before the fourth wedding anniversary after which Marla would have been entitled to a hefty settlement. ...

It could be true. It's believable enough, but I get really tired of Twits instantly becoming news sources. I want to know who they are and how they know what they're writing.

We are too quick to believe anonymous Twits saying stuff. As I remember that got us in trouble in 2016, when we were overrun by Twits tweeting. I notice that we're no longer hearing from people like Louise Mensch. The election is over. Everyone's manipulation work is over. They've all gone home now.

My feed is mainly reporters. Typically they retweet other reporters. If the pool was kicked off the plane, none of them are tweeting about it.

My opinion is that tweets are only useful for pointing my attention to other resources for facts. Even with this opinion I find I waste a lot of time because of the unfounded speculation, key facts being omitted and so forth. I developed this opinion long before Twitter from Usenet.

This is an unimportant matter in the big picture, yet we have all devoted time and thought to it.

This was a troll (old meaning) on twitter. A troll was the post, not the person. Just like fishing. The bait got a lot of bites.

. . .The love of money.



I quoted the Bible verse in Hebrews about the love of money, (not money itself) being the root of all evil on another thread regarding the recent shooting and the NRA's culpability in such events.

Please don't peg me for a Bible-Thumper. I'm just a sucker for an apt quote. I am also, (as you can see from the one sentence) a stickler for accuracy.

Regarding Mrs. Trump 3.0, sometimes I feel sorry for her; sometimes I don't. She is a mother with a child to consider. And as an attractive woman in a given culture (a culture I can't claim to know very well) she may have been inculcated with the idea that beauty was her only power and marrying well was the only secure option for a decent life.

But it does suck how many stressed out, impoverished women in this country are wearing themselves out trying to take care of their children, when Melania's hair care costs could cover their rent. (Maybe. What do I know? I washed my hair this morning with $ .88 shampoo.)

Fri Feb 16, 2018, 06:51 PM
Feb 2018


The company that received the biggest payment — $26 million — was WIS Media Partners of Marina del Rey, Calif. Records show that the firm was created in December 2016, about six weeks before the inauguration, and its founder, according to a person familiar with the firm, was Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a longtime friend of Mrs. Trump’s. Otherwise there is very little information available about the company.

Ms. Winston Wolkoff made her name planning Manhattan society galas. An associate of the Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Ms. Winston Wolkoff traveled in the same circles as Mrs. Trump, who attended Ms. Winston Wolkoff’s 40th birthday party in 2010. Ms. Winston Wolkoff has subsequently been brought on as a senior adviser to the first lady’s official government office.

Two people with direct knowledge of Ms. Winston Wolkoff’s role, who asked to remain anonymous, said she often invoked Mrs. Trump’s name with transition officials as she delivered instructions for the inauguration. But Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Trump, said the first lady “had no involvement” with the inaugural committee “and had no knowledge of how funds were spent.”

Ms. Winston Wolkoff is not paid for her work in the first lady’s office, according to Ms. Grisham, who said Ms. Winston Wolkoff is classified as “a special government employee” and “has specified duties as outlined in her contract.”[link:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/us/politics/trumps-inaugural-committee-paid-26-million-to-first-ladys-friend.html|]

I don’t like to see anyone as miserable as she has to be. But on the other hand, she was not forced to marry him. She was a grown woman who knew tRump. She liked the money, the lifestyle, the privileges of being Mrs. Donald J. tRump. And if he had not “won” the Presidential election, she’d be back in tRump Tower, living the good life. He’d go his way. She would go hers. Instead she is stuck in crummy ol’ DC where she has a new humiliation to face every day. He will never consent to a divorce while he is in office. So she can forget a quick buy out.

Nope. She miscalculated this one. Now she has to endure. While we watch and guess. When he leaves office, she will probably leave him before the moving vans pull out onto Pennsylvania Avenue. Maybe she has been squirreling away a few baubles and beads to help a girl out.

She was most likely promised a return to NYC as soon as the election was over. Just smile and wave, ACT like the dutiful wife and she would be rewarded. Only that isn’t what happened and now she is stuck. You can look at her face in the moments when she is not on stage or speaking. She is one miserable chick, but I find it hard to shed a tear for her. I guess as a female I can empathize with her plight. But this one she had to own. She was his trophy girlfriend. I guess she thought she would increase her score by marrying him and then having a child. That is a crass way of looking at it, but on the face of it, that seems to be what it is.

So she is living out this nightmare on the world stage. There were reports of an epic argument on board AF1 today. Guess we’ll learn more about the truthfulness of that. Wouldn't It be rich if she announced to him she is divorcing him ASAP? He is used to calling the shots. I probably would have a higher opinion of her if she left his lying, cheating ass. Now.
