They have gone bat **** crazy in their hatred of Donald Trump.

I can't stand him either, but they just look ridiculous. They have lost all credibility.

That was what stood out in Michelle's speech. Kind of a big middle finger to America.

04-bow That's exactly what I thought of when Melania was talking about how much she loved America.

What a divisive b!tch.



You know I get that you don't like Obama and disagree with what he has done or didn't do during his presidency. But to call his wife a b!tch is a real punk a$$ move. You don't disrespect another mans wife! What if someone calls your wife a b!tch.

Shoe fits.

I blame Trumps pathetic team. This poor woman didnt want to do this and they likely made her do it to try and humanize Trump. I feel sorry for her. She must be heartbroken.

I just plagiarized the person in front of me. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese biscuit using the exact same words.

Quote:Melania Trump’s professional biography says the wife of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump began modeling at age 16, but she only began working full-time after obtaining a degree. She graduated “in design and architecture at University in Slovenia,” according to the bio as of Monday night:

[Image: 578dda3419000026008a6ec1.png]

It’s a good story, but it doesn’t appear to be true.

Melania Trump never earned a university degree in architecture ― she dropped out of college after her freshman year, according to her biographers. Still, she claims to have a degree from “university in Slovenia.”

Questions about her education grew more significant Tuesday morning, following the revelation that Melania Trump plagiarized parts of her speech to the Republican National Convention from one that First Lady Michelle Obama gave in 2008.

That revelation on Monday raised the question of whether there was anything else Melania Trump hadn’t been entirely truthful about.

Slovenian journalists Bojan Pozar and Igor Omerza wrote in their biography on the former fashion model that she “became ― and remained ― a college dropout” after leaving the University of Ljubljana’s architecture school following her freshman year.

Below is their account of this period of her life in the book, Melania Trump ― The Inside Story: From a Slovenian Communist Village to the White House:

In her freshman year, the 19-year old Melanija Knavs attended lectures on the following subjects: elements of architecture, fine arts, fundamentals of technical mechanics, architectural construction, descriptive geometry, mathematics, and an ideological (read “communist”) elective credit called “General Partisan Resistance and Social Self-protection”. Melanija would have made it to her sophomore year, even having failed 2 exams, but she was supposed to have gotten and held a 1-month internship and kept a journal about it.

******

Later, in America, after meeting Donald Trump and officially becoming his partner, Melania Knauss told the media that she got her degree in architecture and design. This was almost certainly done in consultation with Trump and his advisors, as they were desperate to give off the impression that the Slovenian model was not just beautiful, but also smart and well-educated.

A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign declined to comment early Tuesday on Melania Trump’s claim that she has a university degree.

hey max... dont forget the editor's note! 03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao

Quote:Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.

Trump's team isn't the GOP's A Team. No top GOP consultants want to work on this dumpster fire. Four years ago Mitt Romney had a team going over speech drafts with a fine tooth comb a week before the convention. Today you had guys like Scott Baio being told by Trump at a party two days before the convention he'd be giving a prime time speech and then winging it.

Really? So someone wrote down their order and had it published and then you did the same thing?

More desperation attacking the nominee's wife.

Did she say last night she had a degree or is this something she said years ago? They magically did this research overnight on 20-30 year old records? What does this say about Hillary Clinton?

Actually I heard her say earlier today that she wrote it.
She did write it about 10 years ago. I wonder how Michele O ripped it off of her?

They actually defended Rosie O'Donnell when Trump called her a fat pig. Trump was right! Look at her! He tells the truth!
