I doubt she's talented enough to be a porn star...
Bet she's pretty good at faking it 😉

I mean, it's just reminded me all that exhausting family Christmas crap is coming up again soon. Only this year with the added stress of social distancing and everyone in the family facing imminently losing their jobs.
What's the attitude to religion in Slovenia? It occurred to me that maybe Melania is just being "European" in having an non-reverential attitude to Christmas. But then I have no idea what attitudes are like in Slovenia. It's a more religious culture than the UK, I think, but it also had a long period of communism and official atheism, so I don't know.
As far as I'm concerned "Christmas" has never had anything much to do with religion (the name is just a historical accident). The purpose of it has probably remained the same since it was that Pagan festival the early Christian church hijacked - a feast and celebration to make the dark Northern hemisphere winters more bearable. Whenever a religion arrives on the scene it likes to appropriate existing festivals and mystical practices, as it makes it easier for the locals to accept the new ruling class ideology. In practice though it seems all it does is add a load of more things to get stressed about.
But it seems to me there's also a class-based difference. Working class people are more prone to sentimentality and to want to make Christmas special 'for the children'. Middle and upper-class people (whether of liberal or libertarian variety) tend to be more scornful and callous about it. Melania might just be being true to an elite background.
Seems as if in the US there's a tacit agreement to pay lip-service to it being a sacred thing. All cultures have their norms that mean they agree to pretend certain things are other than what they are, I guess (see also the Surpreme Court, the Founding Fathers and the Constitution...or over here, the Royal family)
It's only a big deal when those liberal Starbucks elitists put "Happy Holidays" on their paper cups.
They should quote and cite Melania.
“It’s Christmas, who gives a fuck”
I find it weird and funny how all these people are such giant liars and scumbags that they are constantly secretly recording each other.
I think a, "we got enough stuff stocked up to make it through the winter" party is something everyone can agree upon. Oh, yea, they figured out that one, a long, long, long, time ago, before scrolls .I really don’t care about Christmas, do you?
The reality is that it is all based on a fable, just like Easter, and Halloween. The similarities... freebee's, gifts, chocolate eggs, and candy.I really don’t care about Christmas, do you?
What is a culture without fables, storytelling and traditions? I quite enjoy the festivities and decor that tend to accompany holidays.The reality is that it is all based on a fable, just like Easter, and Halloween. The similarities... freebee's, gifts, chocolate eggs, and candy.
Can't wait for Bill Oreilly's in depth investigative special report on this.And about reporters asking her about kids separated at border? "Give me a fucking break."
Imagine that? Someone cynical enough to marry Donald Trump turning out to be ugly person too.
There was a time in this country's history when people wanted to come here and would marry any fucking scumbag to obtain permanent status and a path to citizenship. The costs are high, and she had to fuck a fat fuck, but she didn't get deported. Whores will basically fuck anything if the price is right.And about reporters asking her about kids separated at border? "Give me a fucking break."

Does profanity in thread title rule not apply to direct quotes? Asking for a friend...
