shoes.

Fox criticized Michelle about the cost of her dress. We got angry.

In a way I understand tillerson's comment about the controversy over his f'ing moron statement being a waste of time. It's true. This is all bullcrap when people are dying in Puerto Rico and trump wants to start nuclear wars and the wealthy are trying their best to destroy Obamacare and demolish medicare and medicaid and social security and food stamps and taking away our freedom of choice and our right to marry.

I can't think about her goddamn shoes.

The media should be pounding the republicans about taking away services that are keeping many of us alive. This should be the first stories on the new every day.

I also do believe we can't have a double standard about attacking Melania for her clothes if we didn't want them attacking Michelle. Either way neither should be in the news.

that as the first couple, one of their main jobs is to reflect their empathy onto those that have been hurt. Inappropriate clothing just reinforces the fact that they don't have a clue about what people are experiencing.
