    I don't think that's an unfair conversation to have, but that's different than just dismissing someone as a whore.

    There's a part of me that has some sympathy for Hillary Clinton, because I think at least a portion of her issues of electability - though by no means all - stemmed from having to pay for the sins of her philandering husband. People call Hillary a lot of names, but I can't recall anyone referring to her as a whore with regularity. It's probably fair game to wonder if she should share some culpability for some of her husband's inappropriate behavior. Same for Melania. But when people refer to her as a whore, I see that as more of a cheap insult than a simplified catch-all term for a deeper discussion.

    Hillary wasn’t a whore. Melania either married for money,which is whorish, or she married trump for love, which a nightmarish. She was a D list model with agencies with a history of pimping out its models as escorts. Melania was nothing special as a model. Another Eastern European woman looking for a better life. Lying on immigration papers and citizenship papers was widespread when she did it.
    Did she sleep for many men for money? Did she work as an escort? The level of proof when it comes to trump and family is: People are talking, I heard it. I’m not saying she’s a whore, but I’ve heard many fine people say it.

    Guess what though, she became first lady of the United States. She won.

    Reminder that Clinton and her electability problems got more votes than any white man in history and won by 2.5 points.

    And that’s all that matters. It’s only murder if you are convicted of murder.

    1. Open borders! (your president has only told you that 328,296 times)
    2. English was mandatory in Soviet times, and a foreign language is still mandatory. They do great here. Try to go there for a week and see how you fare. We speak 'Murican. By and large Americans CAN. NOT. FUNCTION. in that country.

    Nevertheless, the No. 2 destination in the world for immigrants is . . .

    Only if Orwell is correct and Trump's hand-picked successors write the history of today's time.

    Is it as nightmarish as co-opting Trump's behavior so long as it's used against him?

    It's not that hard to express outrage and articulate what makes the Trumps horrible without stooping to their level. I think, at this point, you can say whatever you want about Donald Trump and it's fair game. He's an insecure, narcissistic, lustful buffoon. Melania shouldn't be immune from criticism. Call her a hypocrite for supporting her husband's immigration policy or speculate that she's a phony for leading a campaign against bullying when her husband behaves so despicably. Calling her a whore for either being sexually active or for truly loving Donald Trump does nothing more than vilify a woman for actions and behavior that men rarely have to answer for.

    Morality is a construct created by losers to rationalize their failures.

    For sure. I'm just saying that it seems like Hillary has had to answer for Bill Clinton's inappropriate behavior more than Bill Clinton has.

    I have no idea what the fuck you're trying to say.
