Media fawning over Melania's speech
Just because it was a bland speech that didn’t sound as crazy as other speakers at the convention and because she disingenuously talks about racial heeling. God I can’t stand the media, I will say for the millionth time, they are the reason Trump is President

1. It is ridiculous. She sounded like a robot, without expression. The media is so full of themselves

They hold these thugs to such a low standard, compared to the Democrats

That is what they have been doing for some time now, every since the phrase "liberal media" was used.

There are very few journalists anymore

4. My wife agrees it was a good speech...so does her mother.

From a political perspective, it was jarring because it was so out of place with everything else, but it WAS a good speech; it presented empathy both for COVID and racial justice and took a personal rather than political tone.

23. It's all a ****ing lie.

She doesn't give a shit.

He doesn't give a shit.

And neither has any problem lying about it.

But what else can they do? Tell the truth? That's not an option.

18. If you were in a coma the last 12 years

and woke up a few hours before & saw Melania's speech, you would think it was pretty good. However, she is a racist Birther and is married to the world's biggest liar, baby and bully. So, it's all about context.

5. They think they need their horse race.

When the real story is how thoroughly the Crockwork Orange is getting his ample buttocks kicked.

They always only see the real story in the rear view mirror.

It's intellectual laziness.

10. FWIW, Joe Scarborugh just said it was shameful.

He said she had no standing to lecture Americans about gossip and social media, calling out Trump's malignant and cruel use of social media to hurt people.

15. It was terrible

Disjointed talking points with no depth of analysis or solutions at all. She coldly read it with no desire to connect with the people. Went on too long and her accent was distracting. Audience were not distancing nor wearing masks. The big long walk down the corridor looked way too staged, and her outfit was downright ugly. Poopy brown, military style. But other than that, she didn't trip or faint.

 :whatever:

20. I watched it

She read the teleprompter well, it didn't seemed to be plagerized. But so bland - have no memory of what she said - and no I wasn't drinking. 😁. I was somewhat distracted by her costume - a sad design with poor fabric choice. Wait - I do remember she said - she wanted a career in the fashion world. Easy to see why that didn't work out especially well.... no fashion sense. As my grandma used to say - can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

We should probably move forward to something of substance. Melanie's forced blatherings are not worth the energy. We need to focus everything on beating Trump like a drum in November. And making sure the House and Senate are solidly in the D column.

Stay safe everyone. Lots of ugly stuff around us.

I guess the MSM didn't condemn Melania as a Balkan Neo-Nazi, so that constitutes "fawning over" her speech. Or something like that. That much DU-hate tells me her speech must have been pretty good.

It’s threads like this that clearly show just how incredibly whacko liberals are. If I was a lib, I’d be turning backflips thankful that the media completely goes out of their way to report things favorable to my ideology. But they aren’t even bright enough to appreciate that.

Dear Lord these people are idiots. Yeah, the media that is still pushing the “Trump called white supremacists good people” are all for helping Trump get re-elected.

Anyone who honestly does not believe liberalism is a mental illness needs to wade around the DU cesspool for awhile.

Bette Midler Unleashes Xenophobic Tweet Storm on Melania Trump: 'She Still Can't Speak English!'

Anti-Trump singer/actress Bette Midler was so triggered by first lady Melania Trump’s speech on Tuesday night that she went on a blatantly xenophobic Twitter rant.

“She can speak several words in a few languages. Get that illegal alien off the stage!” she tweeted.

1. Melania entered the US legally, with a visa.

2. Melania did not do paid work in the US until she had a visa allowing her to do so.

3. Melania is a naturalized citizen of the US.

4. Q/ Why isn't Bette Midler washed up? A/ She doesn't wash. :rimshot:  :bolt:

1. It is ridiculous. She sounded like a robot, without expression. When someone is speaking in a non-native language, they usually don't convey as much emotion, because they are concentrating on saying the words right. The media is so full of themselves

They hold these thugs to such a low standard, compared to the Democrat.  Joe "The Ra_ist Biden's speech was considered a huge success because he didn't snort anyone's hair. Low bar indeed.

They seem to have forgotten about the media fawning over some "toned" arms attached to a first lady.
