I agree with you.

I am not distracted by Melania, but it doesn't consume great amounts of my time to make a passing comment on the results of her plastic surgery. She seems like an ok person; I don't really know anything about her. Don't really care, To be honest.

Here's what I will say; I'm sure she married Drumpf for his money, and it seems to me she's earning every penny.

Melania hasn't even begun her work as First Lady. She and Ivanka are mothers, they run multimillion dollar companies and what do you run besides your mouth?

You wouldn't know a nose job from a photo shop job from contour make up. And what difference does it make? You know what we call a guy who superficially devalues or elevates a woman by critiquing her looks like she's an object?

Misogynist.

You sound exactly like Trump and these idiot Republicans who worship him because he is wealthy. All I did was post an image noting that this shocked me to see the difference. It is stark as the before and after photos of Michael Jackson. The point was the hypocrisy not only from Republicans but also Trump who is on record making fun of women who have "fake tits." Everything about his wife is fake. She is not only fake on the outside, but there is no redeeming qualities from her as an individual. Like I said, she has lied to the American people about her education and she has the audacity to preach about values and morals while (mimicking Michelle) rationalizing the despicable behavior of her husband. She also worked illegally while supporting her husband's bigoted agenda on immigration. She said the difference between her and the illegals is that "I followed the law." Uh, no she didn't. She came here as an immigrant and worked illegally and she got away with it because she was wealthy, white and a hot model. If she were a short fat old brown Brazilian who came here and got a job while on a student visa she would have been deported in a heartbeat. She is not only the quintessential Stepford wife but a perfect exactly of what white privilege is all about.

And Misogyny "is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls." I voted for a woman for President and I haven't "devalued" Melania based on looks I'm pointing out hypocrisy that everyone is ignoring.

As far as I can tell Melania Trump is the only first lady who is the third wife of a president.
The first to be born and raised in a communist nation.
The first to have had plastic surgery.
The first to have lied about her education.
The first to have posed nude.
The first to have posed laying nude in homo-erotic scenes with other women.

Gotta love those Republican Christian values.

That is true. That's what we call those people.

However, I don't think Kevin has been doing that in this thread. The thread is about GOP hypocrisy, not Melania's value as a human being based on having had plastic surgery. I'm not sure if Kevin's assessment of her character is accurate, but I'm fairly confident he hasn't been judging her based on her looks. If anything, he's judging others for giving her a pass based on her looks.

I disagree, Schmo. Kevin has pivoted to GOP hypocrisy as a rationalization. But reread his first few posts. They are ugly and demeaning.

And she deserves it because of choices she's made? Really? Sounds too much like "she deserved to get raped because she chose to wear slutty clothes."
