Melania demonstrates many of our sentiments...

it's brilliant from a propaganda standpoint. Accuse other people of doing what you are egregiously guilty of doing yourself.

I can't help but think her involvement with something like cyber bullying would be detrimental to the cyber bullying cause. Maybe it is just another distraction? Either way I would be disappointed because it seems disingenuous. Her supporters keep stating she can speak, four, six, and five languages fluently...so why not use that as her platform? Her fluency could finally be proven and she could educate the "nothing but American English in my country" folks that speaking different languages is not a barrier to progress.

Many things have made me grimace lately, but the cyber bullying as her cause is a real tea spitter at this point.

Supposedly her primary cause will be cyberbullying.

Well, she won't have to travel far to get to work.

Agree! Why on earth would she choose this topic knowing full well her husband's propensity for firing off his entire 140 character load on anyone and anything that pisses him off? If she doesn't recognize that the problem begins at home, then she is not fit to properly serve that position. It's really ludicrous.

And he does this continuously. During the campaign, every horrible nuance he claimed HRC was doing was actually what he himself was doing. When he claimed that she was irrational and evil, he was really speaking about himself. What kind of effed up psyche is that?

it's standard GOP operating procedure going back to Atwater. Why did John Kerry the war hero get "swift boated?" Because tough-talking war president George W. Bush pulled strings to stay out of combat in Vietnam by joining the Texas Air National Guard.

Exactly. Swift-boating. 'Member that? So quaint.

and why did the GOP spend so much effort to paint Al Gore as a "liar," even to the extent of making up stuff he never said (like inventing the internet)? Because George W. Bush was spewing obvious lies throughout the 2000 campaign.

DJT tried swift boating McCain and almost succeeded because McCain irrationally sat back and allowed this loser to bash him (honestly, I don't get McCain). Even his daughter, who I follow on Twitter, sat back for a while and allowed DJT's insults to fly over her dad's war experience and service.
