      Nothing says “I do not care, this is beneath my ability to even think about and in no way affects my decision-making” like painting on your clothing in response to a comment.

      It really sells how little she thinks about it.

      Just like when someone comments/messages/texts several huge long paragraphs in an argument while constantly saying “I don’t care”, you can feel the apathy.

        readjusting to how far standards for… everything have fallen across western civilization in the last few years, I now think that third painting looks great to me. Lets not let the perfect be the enemy of the good, right.

    The sculpture was created in 2020 by American artist Brad Downey, after a wooden sculpture of the first lady was torched by arsonists. Downy said he is “a bit sad that it’s gone”.

    The article claims some of the locals have"great pride"in her becoming the first lady… Why? How is that an accomplishment?

      On the one hand, the first lady is certainly a fairly highly regarded position where women have been able to influence politics and affect change for a long time, even before women were really allowed to be in politics formally.

      On the other hand, having married happenstance some guy that becomes president is obviously not a feat of any kind. But at the same time, in the old-school patriarchal sense of values, a woman married to a politically powerful man is considered to be above other women. Even in far pettier situations. The governor’s wife, the senator’s wife, hell even a mayor’s wife

      She sold ger body to the Cheeto. In on itself that’s fine, to each their own, but to be proud of that? Yeah, no

      Right and specially far right are really proud of our beloved “cashbitch” Melania for some reason, probably they see her as successfull for some stupid reason. But then again, the leader of the biggest far right party congratulated the Orange for victory in 2020 elections 🤷‍♂️

      Trump had it stolen and brought to the Whitehouse so he can spend time with his wife.

    That picture of the stump with nothing but the feet remaining - priceless. I want a framed version of that.

      The same reason the average Trump voters’ mom’s phone number is carved into every truck stops bathroom door.
