I do not believe that Melania wrote that post nor that Donald wrote his as both are far too joined up literally.

I have enjoyed seeing Melania animated because she has had the Queen to talk to - must less wooden and mechanical.

What was fascinating is seeing VP Vance not even crack a smile while the king was talking in the senate and only standing up to clap when everyone else did. Don’t think he understood a single word being said !!

If it's a coherent statement, they didn't write it themselves.

Good. Vance is completely spineless.

If he DID understand it and was seething inside.

Your posts are always so clear and eloquent. I appreciate your plain speech so much in these days when words are being twisted into lies.

J6 was not a "call to violence" but random Sea shells found on a beach, and a joke about Trump being 50 years older than his Einstein Visa recepient who speaks Seven languages (unfortunately English is not one) wife with the anchor baby, is clearly meant as a death threat?? Welcome to Fascism,.America.

“Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow” There is not even a hint of encouraging a violent act against any one. Only Tramp paranoia syndrome would "go there."

Maybe because my husband was in the food industry, I was used to "86" in that context. It would NEVER have crossed my mind that it could possibly refer to violent removal of a person. Again, only Tramp paranoia syndrome would "go there."

Let's face it, the foreseeable future is going to be rough. An unstable, unhealthy narcissist is only going to become more unhinged and defensive. Don't lose sight of our goal to save...and improve...our democracy.

Not pretty, but unfortunately true.

The indictment has no merit…will probably be thrown out..more waste of our money .

Disney will fight the FCC in court and should prevail.

Interesting that on Tuesday trump himself made reference to the fact that he and Melania do not have long years for their marriage to last given their age differences in his speech with the King and Queen. Exactly what Kimmel was referring to on Thursday night.

His desperation is really showing ..I really thought he’d be quiet as he wallowed in admiration of a King..guess it’s all just too much for him to keep quiet for 2 days.

The King’s speech ….now THERE is the story…how beautifully he made his points…so perfectly veiled but completely understood. How fascinating to watch as they ALL stood and applauded his calm and calculated criticism of this administration and their own actions as if they didn’t understand what he was saying. It was masterful and so refreshing to hear a man speak so eloquently without any reference to himself and be able to drive home his points with the precision of a laser ..no bravado..only civility ..dignity..grace…resolve.

Trump wanted to break protocol and be in that room ..too bad he wasn’t allowed ..it would have been so gratifying to watch him sit there and have to listen and watch him squirm in his seat as he was warned by a King in our house. When you’re emailing Jimmy Kimmel in support..watch the King too…he came to do a job and he did..now we must continue ours.

The level of insanity becomes challenging to DIAGNOSE….I am continually stunned by the mass hypnosis and hypocrisy of the support of “genuinely crazy behavior”….. while we have always known power and money are seductive…. Must admit I for one had no idea it could suck human decency and intelligent thinking out of so many….

A minor correction: Jimmy Kimmel wasn't pretending that Melania and Barron were in his studio. The whole premise of his presentation was that he was giving the traditional roast at the White House Correspondents' dinner, and they were among the guests there.

Courage is contagious.

I wonder, is cowardice contagious too?

Can you imagine what it must be like to be Melania Twump? How disgusting to have slept next to that man? How gross whenever he reaches for her hand? How lonely she is because no one likes her and she likes no one. She has become more than a mean vile woman, she has become a power-fed maniacal uber-beyatch. She looks more like a plastic mannequin everyday. And since her little boy is no longer little, who does Melania have to play with? I would venture to guess that again, she has no one. Her inside ugliness is starting to show through all of the injections that paralyzed her face. You can't hide that evil coming out her eyes, evil coming out of her wherever...

It seems that as people age, their true inside selves do start showing up on the outside. Not a pretty sight I agree.

Purchased a bunch of 8647 magnetic car stickers . We need to inundate the country with these in our cars and theoretically overwhelm DOJ for four numbers that mean FIRE Trump, vote him out ! I had an 8645 number sticker in first four years of this idiot and someone tore it off my car . Bought a bunch this time

Thank you, Ms. Reese.

I think Kimmel, Comey, and Heather are demonstrating the courage our Democracy demands if we are to survive these historic attacks from within. We need to combine our voices, values, and stand together to fight for the freedoms and laws that our Constitution gives us. Demand our right to vote in a free and fair election. The one thing they fear the most is, "We The People".

Thank you, Heather. This is truly a sh*t show of an administration. For the people? I think not. Can hardly wait for the midterms.

I wonder what it would be like if we had a president who spent at least 10 minutes a day performing presidential duties? Actually attending to matters of the country? But Donald is so busy with hateful, petty grievances and retribution that there's no time to do the work for the people.

Or he’s golfing or grifting or selling yet another gold item with his name on it! He’s such an egotistical twit.

It costs us $23,000 AN HOUR to fly AIR FORCE ONE.😡😡

WHY DON'T THEY GROUND AIR FORCE ONE?

DT has taken 149 trips to his hideout in Florida.

Looks like he enjoys sticking it to the people for having to pay for it.💰💰💰💰💰

Thank you. It would be helpful to have a link to Jimmy Kimmel’s page where we can leave comments. I think he’d get more comments and support sooner.

Trump is grasping at straws but with the powerful, now spiteful hands of formerly independent federal institutions. Shame on his minions!
