Melania gave a great speech

[Swfladem]

But, it sounded like she was talking like she was talking for the Democrats. Everything she said was complete opposite of the reality of the Trump presidency. I’m confused and befuddled. She sounded like a Democrat up there. Everything she was saying is what the Democrats say and then she tagged it to her husband? WTF just happened? Did she simply just decide if she couldn’t plagiarize Michelle Obama she’d just plagiarize the entire platform? From Covid to parents to race relations she spoke exactly like one of us and it’s hurting my brain.

[OAITW r.2.0]

1. Right, lol.

37 posts and you think your opinion is gonna over-ride what I saw? Good fucking luck.

[Swfladem]

4. What I'm saying

Is that she acted like a human. Of course the bar is very low for any of their speeches but I’m so confused how she talked like someone that cares and then tagged it the Repubs? I think maybe just after two hours of lying attacks, a basic speech became impressive?

[PatSeg]

9. I see what you are saying

She sounded relatively normal in comparison to the rest of the republicans.

[Swfladem]

16. Yes.

She can’t possibly see things the way spoke of them.

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. She talked like a Russian asset.

Putin has lots of assets minding his #1 asset in the WH. She doesn't give a shit about DJT, but Putin probably has a lot of her extended family in his black-mail sight.

43. TLP on melania's fucking speech from the WH desecrated

Rose Garden..

2. Her speech was rotten. Are you drinking kool aid tonight?

[TruckFump]

37. This. EOM

[TheBlackAdder]

3. Just one problem: Google Translate couldn't keep up.

.

She was talking for the Kremlin. Any other impressions are just an accidental coincidence.

[SheltieLover]

10. This!👆

[SamKnause]

5. WTF ???

[Cha]

6. melania is GASLIGHTING & FULL OF SHIT.. don't be "confused".

[Swfladem]

12. Oh I'm not lol

It’s just so confusing after two hours for someone to actually not have another attack speech. I don’t like this woman at all. How can she talk about the things she did like race relations, attacks on people, covid the way she did and then mention her husband?

[Totally Tunsie]

15. ...and yet, you called it a "great speech"?

[PatSeg]

7. Most of the time,

it did sound like she was talking about a totally different administration. There was a lot about compassion, unity, and caring, quite a contrast to all the other speeches we've heard so far. Not very Trumpish at all. If it was a Democratic convention, much of it would have fit in quite well.

[Swfladem]

13. This

Is my point exactly. She couldn’t possibly be talking about her husband’s administration. She couldn’t get away with stealing Michelle’s stuff again so she stole humanity.

[PatSeg]

21. Yes

You said that very well, "so she stole the humanity".

I won't defend her as First Lady or a Trump, but as a speech, that was the way a First Lady's speech is suppose to sound in a normal world..............even though none of it is true of course.

[George II]

58. It also sounded like she was talking about a totally different person....

She didn't do all the things that she spoke about, and she has the empathy of a pet rock. It was a great work of fiction.

[PatSeg]

60. Well, as EarlG indicated this morning

it sounded like she was talking about Joe Biden!

You have to wonder if that was intentional snark toward her husband. No one knows better than Melania, that Trump is a serial liar, so when she says, "Total honesty is what we as citizens deserve from our president", it does sound like she is advising us to vote for someone else. Meanwhile, it went right over Trump's dumb head.

[BlueSpot]

8. As an infrequent poster...

I am not a fan of judgment by post count.

That aside, the speech sucked.

[North Shore Chicago]

57. +++

[TomSlick]

14. Welcome to DU. It can be a tough crowd.

The speech was well written and reasonably well presented. I do not have to agree with what is being said to respect the word-smithing.

I was surprised to her Malaria acknowledge the pain caused by Covid-19. Of course, she lied about what a great job Trump has done. It is still amazing that the recognition of the pain caused by Covid-19 has caused got by the West Wing staff.

Most of the speech was patent crap but that bit surprised me.

[Cha]

22. So that wasn't a "great speech" if she Lied about what a good job

trump has done".

The "speech" was gaslighting bullshite... & Yes.. DU can be "a tough crowd" when someone comes up with "melania gave a great speech".

[TomSlick]

38. No, it wasn't a great speech.

It was a workman-like speech, well written and reasonably well presented. It should come as no surprise to anyone that it was rife with lies.

For what Malaria was expected to do, it was done as well as it might be.

Someone with so few OPs should not be eviscerated for not being sufficiently strident in his condemnation of Malaria's speech. DU is best served if we encourage discussion.

[Cha]

40. Not "surprised".. Never surprised by anything the Gaslighting Worst lady

"don't really care, do you" when going to see the kids & babies in cages. comes up with.

[betsuni]

49. I agree. DU is best served if we encourage discussion.

I don't care for automatic "Oh I hate that person, they suck" comments. Waste of time to have whole threads of it.

[LenaBaby61]

50. The "speech" was gaslighting bullshite...

THIS ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

I haven't ever forgotten this 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

And Michelle gets called an ape in geels








No, that malaria hussy is no better than the rest of the rotten, thieving, treasonous assholes in Putin's party/tRump's family.

[PatSeg]

27. Yes, it was well written

even if it did not represent reality. It was written far better than the rest of the crap we've heard for two nights. She didn't scream about socialists and leftist Democrats taking away your freedom. So many of the speeches were so bizarre and extreme, it was rather surreal.

[CatWoman]

17. all I could hear was

"Moose and Squirrel must die"

[vercetti2021]

18. Great speech?

Maybe if you were buttfucking high and wasted .

[Swfladem]

24. It was lie.

All of it. Of course it was. That’s why it’s so confusing. She did a good job of being human. But it’s like she is in an alternate reality of her husband’s administration.

[vercetti2021]

29. Gotta use sarcasm

People will assume you're a sleeper

[PatSeg]

30. I think too many people missed the poster's point

and jumped on him/her too quickly. I felt much the same way. Melania's speech was a dramatic contrast to the rest of this weird and wacky convention, like she was talking about a different administration and a different political party.

[DonaldsRump]

36. "It was lie"

I make typos too!

[SammyWinstonJack]

55. Ha!

[Swfladem]

19. Mostly

I expected another coked up rant written by her husband.

[TGRBAIT]

20. Melania

Don is her husband so not sure why this is an issue

[Cha]

25. Don the Fucking Tresonous CON is her "husband" & we can

make that an "issue" if we want.

[gopiscrap]

53. welcome to DU

[marble falls]

59. Not quite sure what you mean. Please explain.

[Nexus2]

23. I can see the viewpoint that she sounded normal compared to the rest of that parade of kooks.

But it is a low bar, like being the tallest Little person or the bar in a Smurf limbo contest.

[Swfladem]

26. YES!!

I was left with “wait...what?”

[Laelth]

28. No. She sounded like an old-school Republican.

It was almost comforting, but it was still vile Republicanism. She actually showed some empathy for the current struggles of Americans, and, in each and every case, she wanted to “shine a light” on the charity, generosity, kindness, and general wonderfulness of the American people BECAUSE (and this is always the subtext) government isn’t going to do ANYTHING to help relieve your misery (if she can help it), so you had better take care of one another, and she will gleefully applaud when you do so.

That’s what I heard. Standard, old-school Republicanism—fix your own problems and don’t expect any help from government—George H. W. Bush’s “thousand points of light.”

-Laelth

[Swfladem]

33. I think

You may have hit the nail on the head with this one. I mean, as a lifelong Democrat I could at least stomach some of the old school republicans. After eating wet cardboard for 3 and a half years, even ramen noodles can taste like filet mignon.

[PatSeg]

35. Yes, more old school republican

Quite different from all things Trump. Everyone else was talking about fear, death, and destruction. Melania's speech had more of a human touch, even though it hardly reflected the administration and the last 3 1/2 years.

[Swfladem]

31. I'm sitting here watching

CNN. Van Jones and Anderson Cooper are saying the same thing. Don’t get me wrong. A good speech is nothing more than a good lie for some people. I think I’m most upset that she had the nerve to give this speech after everything her husband has done.

[msongs]

32. adolf gave some good speeches too but I don't care, do u? nt

[Swfladem]

34. I love

This response and with your permission I’d like to steal it and use it on social media

[JI7]

39. She is a grotesque perverted piece of shit just like her Husband

Her speech was perverted like her and her fucked up husband.

[Cha]

42. THANK YOU!!!

[Crunchy Frog]

41. Gaslighting.

[dalton99a]

44. Useless sack of shit talking out of her ass

45. Yeah, Right

[Meowmee]

56. this... lies and gaslighting is now considered by some to be a great speech

[elevator]

46. Kept waiting for her to say " we will finally bring down Moose and Squirrel "

if Donald is re-elected.

[ismnotwasm]

47. Fuck her

She sounded like an asshole hypocrite who wears coats expressing her disdain in for children in cages. UGH

[ecstatic]

48. The hypocrisy was too much. I zoned out several times

She talks about her immigration story, yet she's married to the Birther in Chief--the guy who's fighting to ban all non-whites from entering the country.

She talks about kids, but her husband is separating families and caging kids and babies at the border.

She mentioned cyber bullying, but she's married to the biggest Internet troll/bully in the history of social media.

She touched on the racial division in this country, but again, she's married to a white supremacist.

The list goes on and on!

I cannot wait for the audio of her attacking donnie and the kids to come out.

She's a lying, heartless POS, just like her husband.

[Vivienne235729]

52. i think that "great speech" is an exaggerated overreach. I listened to her for 2 min

and was fighting to keep my ears from bleeding the last 00:01:48sec. I know the other speakers were screeching piles of shit but all I heard today was just a calmer pile of shit from Melanie. Still a heaping pile of shit nevertheless.

[radius777]

54. She's a gaslighting birther b1tch

who mocked the kids in cages with her 'I don't care do u' raincoat.

She talks about bullying - lol - her husband is the bully in chief.

Just go away Melania, you're not fooling anyone - you'll never be a Jackie Kennedy, HRC, Michelle or (our future first lady) Jill Biden.
