So basically you are deeply committed to your side of the partisan fence, and hypocrisy suits you fine.

In this day of micro-aggressions, cultural appropriation, and hashtag movements over hang nails, I find it completely laughable how people try to justify an obvious level of xenophobia and non-inclusion solely because it helps them knock down the other party.

Mike Pence's wife is pretty much in the backround. Melania will take heat head on being First Lady, But I just wished someone would have helped her with this slogan. Apparently some folks in her circle want her to fall face first, or simply do not care.

What makes you think "folks in her circle want her to fall face first?" It's more than likely a situation where neither she or her husband knows how to recruit people of quality and expertise to work for them.

Why does she need to be held accountable? She is not paid; she wasn't elected. She has no official role besides being the President's wife.

All told though, Melania appears to have coordinated a wonderful State Dinner for France the other week.

Default Melania plagiarizes again!

Okay, obviously it's not Melania, per se. We know she couldn't write anything on her own. But it's typical that the Trump staff is too incompetent to put together any project, typical that they'd steal, and typical that they're so dumb and lazy that they'd pull this stunt again, even being caught at it before. And perhaps typical that they understand that Melania herself is too ignorant and indifferent about it all.

Don't worry, Mueller's on the case. He'll get to the bottom of it and he'll issue subpoenas if he has to, followed up by indictments of 13 Russian ghost writers.

There's a thread on her Be Best initiative that includes a discussion of her slapping a name on something from the Obama administration.

It is likely buried beneath the avalanche of threads on Clinton's back brace, and how Democrats are taking a knife to the Constitution. But it is down there somewhere.

This concerns me not at all. In fact, one might view it as a smart cost-saving measure. Since the taxpayer probably invested several billion dollars involuntarily in the Obama pamphlet (one which should have cost perhaps a few thousand bucks at most), it only makes sense to recycle the material, assuming it possesses the requisite degree of efficacy for the purpose intended.

And you know what? If it's true that it's plagiarized, I wouldn't have minded at all, if she had made a public statement about how important the issue is, and she finds that Obama had put it so well that she wants to make a point of disseminating Obama's ideas again.

That's what an ethical person would do. That's how you "re-cycle" without being a thief.

Of course, Trump would never permit her to say anything praising Obama.
