1. I was actually giving Melania credit.

I had this fantasy in my mind where she had reached the last straw, sat her Detainer- In- Cheif husband down and said "I could destroy your fat white privileged ass with what I know about you". "You will take your tiny little fingers and sign whatever it takes to stop ripping those kids from their parents, or I will have you and your hair impeached!"

I really hope the jacket thing was just some kind of awful mistake. I was liking my fantasy.

2. She Was a Birther. Why Would We Believe She is Any Less Awful than Don the Con?

She's better looking. That's all.

yeah, she clearly wants to throw acid in his smirking face over his tapping other women.

But, from a value perspective they both could give a shit about anyone else and looking to turn a buck in anyway they possibly can.

She is the good soldier for the family grift, people are letting what they WANT to believe over ride reality thinking she made some overt statement against him.

It was what it was - giving US the middle finger.

8. Why any media is giving this racist any benefit of the doubt about wearing the disgusting

jacket to Texas in June is an example of the complicity. And she donned it gong back to her lair in the WH.

That the corporate media finally were disgusted enough to force a Trump to reverse on child detention....is both encouraging and concerning...are they done with the truth?

And What is "public pressure"? In America public pressure is what the corporate media says it is, it seems.

Even million man marches can be ignored...WHAT public pressure...ignoring marches and protests is the same as suppressing public pressure.

Never doubt who is in control in America.

4. I was hoping the jacket was about her husband

she is saying she really doesn't care about him- Do you? But I don't think so- she would wear it while walking next to him. It was 81 degrees in DC yesterday. She meant to make a statement. If she gave a shit she would have demanded to see the kids being held in cages not the place she went. She was only there for a second. Enough to act like she gave a shit, get a picture and then she got the hell out of there, and to say to the kids as she left "good luck". She is POS like her husband. We need true first ladies to go there and tell the real story- you know the ones that care about kids not this one that only cares about optics

5. I was wondering about the temperature.

81 degrees is too hot for a jacket. She chose to wear it to make a statement. I think she was strongly pressured to go as a way to create good optics for the White House. Her choice probably means she will be left alone and not sent out to provide cover in the future. She really does not care and does not want to fake it. Her son is the only person I’ve seen her be warm to.
