Yeah, and with all those languages she supposedly speaks fluently, that's the message our "first lady" chooses to paint on the back of her jacket...

Even so, is that the message the first lady and a fashion model chooses to strut her stuff in?...
PS I can recall Fox and the cons getting all over Obama because he once wore a grey suit...

Oh yes, she came up with "It's kind of a message", after her own spokesperson said there wasn't any, that it's her statement to the criticism of the left wingers:

"It was for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticising me. I want to show them I don't care. You could criticise whatever you want to say. But it will not stop me to do what I feel is right." 


That is exactly who she was addressing and why.  You can spin it all you want but her message was for the left wing media and leftists everywhere to let them know they can shove their criticisms up their collective asses.  

My guess is that you fit right in that bunch.  

I thought her message was great.  
Here's Melania swating Donald away:

Biden Vs Trump Health Care Plans

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Trump promised, "The biggest, the best healthcare at the lowest cost!"
Did he deliver? That depends on how you look at it. To do so, we'll compare the healthcare proposal from his leading reval, Joe Biden who also recently challenged Donald Trump to a rigorous round of physical abilities tests that our president has declined. 
First, the healthcare plan from the challenger, Joe Biden:
Joe Biden invoked a risky — and familiar — phrase to sell his health care plan. At an AARP event in Iowa, Biden told voters he’d create a government insurance plan to compete with private ones called a public option. It would give consumers, Biden said, another choice.
"If you like your employer-based plan, you can keep it," Biden said July 15. "If you have private insurance, you can keep it." His main idea is to set up a government-run insurance program where people would pay premiums to get covered. The public plan would go head-to-head with private carriers and if consumers preferred it, they could buy in.
https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/jul/18/if-you-your-plan-you-can-keep-it-bidens-healthcare/
Now, drum roll please, the health care proposal from Donald Trump:
1 It's SELF-FUNDED
2 It's SELF-DIRECTED
3 It doesn't cover pre-existing condtions, YOU DO.
4 It doesn't cover child to age 26, They're SELF-sufficient and on their own.
5 So what is this masterpiece? It's an expanded HSA account! 
Ya get to make a bigger tax-free donation to your HSA acoount to to cover items 1-4. So, if you don't have employer-provided coverage or government supplied medicare, the next time you see your doctor or you're in the hospital, just whip out your own HSA account number and see how far that one takes you...

Big deal! So they suspended the guy. They've done the same at Fox when the network has the balls to call it right every now and then on some of their conservative whack jobs...

The Russian Government?

That the DOJ couldn't provide evidence, particularly the one we have with William Barr as its leader, is of no surprise. 
Now, looking at reality:
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/05/study-russia-cybersecurity-twitter-1353543
Today, another bipartisan bill to provide greater election security was stopped by a single Republican who couldn't come up with a reason for doing so. The other Republican who previously blocked it is Mitch McConnell who says it's up to the states to secure their own elections, federal or otherwise. As if the state of Louisiana has the wherewithal to stand up to the hacking efforts of the Russian government. Yeah, riight...

It's not a Dem theory, it's a finding from the Mueller investigation:

The report details how the Russians “carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton,” and “conducted computer-intrusion operations against entities, employees, and volunteers working on the Clinton Campaign and then released stolen documents” to damage the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign.
Additionally, for a succinct synopsis of the findings relevant to the above as well as obstruction of justice:
