@rocksforludo I don't think he instigated it, but either
1) Melania is as thin-skinned as her husband and/or
2) he/his handlers are taking advantage of it in an attempt to get the attention off something else.

They're proud of what they're doing! Also, Republicans in the Senate and House can be sneaky AF but I've yet to see the WH execute anything well. It's all contradictions and leaks and tripping all over themselves. I just think that "what are they distracting from" line generally over-estimates their ability to be on the same page and their capacity for shame.

I feel like I am in hell with this Melania Ivana fight. HOW IS THIS REAL LIFE It also took me a good hour to realize it wasn’t IVANKA and Melanie fighting. 🤣

I saw the Ivana segment on CBS Sunday Morning and basically threw up in my mouth the entire time. She lives in a fantasy world with the rest of them. She also explicitly said she does not blame him for his cheating, only Marla Maples. I couldn't believe my ears.

Somehow I butt posted "content unavailable" a few minutes ago?
Anyway, I am not shocked by Feinstein's decision, but I am disappointed. She is brilliant, but I think her constituents would be better served by her leading the transition to a new Democratic senator during the upcoming election.

Also I think it overestimates how much Trump cares about policymaking.

Oh gawd, Ivana vs Melania. It’s like we are watching an episode of Real Housewives of the White House. So trashy and embarrassing.

I wouldn't be surprised if ivana and Trump are in cahoots and did this to distract people with petty stuff. Ivana has to want Trump to be successful because she wants Ivanka and hubby to be in WH. Andy Cohen has jumped all over it so it's working.

All I can do is 🙄 at all the golf.
It's weird to see Graham talking about it because the WH has been so secretive about Trump's golfing.

This is probably giving him too much credit, but I did wonder if Graham was kind of subtweeting Trump there. Like "yep, he's golfing on a Monday!"

So attendees of the now infamous Trump Tower meeting were asked to sign NDA's. Not at all suspicious. There's no way that would raise any red flags.

I mean, it's a federal holiday, so even though it's a Monday, still technically the weekend for Federal employees. But it's very much Nero-esque. Fiddling while Rome (CA) burns.

Graham's tweets are embarrassing. Unless he's buttering Trump up for a DREAM act and then I'm on board with the flattery. Because Stephen Miller/Tim Cotton's plan is fucking heinous and anyone who can insert themselves between Trump and those two assholes is ok with me.
If that's not what Lindsay is doing then blech.

Totally unrelated to politics but a friend of mine who is expecting her first child just posted "👏👏👏" on an article about how children's menus are a travesty, and I'm just sitting here like Just you wait...

Someone remind me. Weren't all the voting machines hacked at defcon not models currently in use? I believe so. At the very least not ones in use in the big swing states from what I recall.

According to Shaun King they have issued an arrest warrant for Deandre Harris. The kid that was beaten in c-vile. Yet they still haven't arrested two of his attackers.
I have no words
