I hear a lot of people complaining about their spouses doing everything wrong.

But has your spouse ever invited the press to your home to give a speech on The Epstein Files, right after you spent 22 billion to bomb an entire country to get the press away from talking about The Epstein Files?

If not, maybe cut your spouse some slack.

@randahl it was an interesting move, to say the least

@randahl Oh, my wife did that twice last week!

...

... No, no, wait, I think I might be mistaken.

@Craigp @randahl People are saying your wife did it twice last week.

Wow, it really is easy to appear Presidential these days. #lowBar

@randahl Maybe when you spent 22 billion on bomb compain without consulting with anybody, gain nothing, screw up half of the world economy Epstein files might no longer look that bad...
@anparker @randahl I don't know, I don't know. Maybe we'll have to invade Norway and bomb Cuba, so that the Epstein files don't look so bad in comparison.
@randahl
Can’t wait for the story she’s trying to get ahead of.
@Pinchy63 @randahl It apparently has to do with an old colleague of hers, a Brazilian former model who was recently expelled from the US and who may be pissed off enough about that to talk.
@Pinchy63 @randahl Amanda Ungaro is her name.
@not2b @randahl
I read that. Hope she stays away from high windows.
@not2b @Pinchy63 @randahl
Yes, they were "models" that just hung around with creeps. I guess model means "perv enabler" in some language I don't know.
@geos @Pinchy63 @randahl No, I mean model as in a young woman who makes money by having photos taken of her. Real models, not "models". But the whole modeling industry in the 90s was based on exploitation of girls and young women. They were from poor countries and they "hung around with creeps" in the hope of having a glittering career, or maybe marrying a rich man as both Melania and the Brazilian model I'm talking about did.

@not2b @Pinchy63 @randahl

I don't think Malaria was a real model, whether she knew it or not. She seem to fit your latter description.

I think it is impossible to have run in the crowd she did and not know what was going on. It is notable that she made the point to say she was not a victim of Epstein. If not, is she a co-conspirator like Maxwell, or someone who was just willing to keep her mouth shut in exchange for the right benefits?

1/2

@not2b @Pinchy63 @randahl

The "I really don't care, do you?" jacket is making more sense today.

2/2

@geos @Pinchy63 @randahl Think what you want, but she was a professional model who was paid for that work, appeared in magazines and the like. Not a supermodel, but a pro. Some of that work was illegal: she was paid as a model while in the US on a tourist visa. That kind of practice was common and part of the way the owners exploited the models (by threatening to report them if they didn't comply).

Epstein got rich initially by managing money for the owner of Victoria's Secret, home of the top models in the world. The whole modeling industry at the time was corrupt.

@not2b @Pinchy63 @randahl She sounds very pissed off. 🍿🍿🍿
@randahl this is going to turn up in @fesshole next week, complete with the usual scolds saying "embarrasing them like that was a very immature thing to, why don't you talk to your spouse if you're unhappy with them?"
@randahl I suspect Donald did something to piss her off. This is her reminder to him of secrets kept.
@johnduggins I agree. It may indeed have been Melania's version of a warning shot.

@randahl
It could be a warning shot from Israel or Russia (or both): We have kompromat and we're ready to use it.

I believe they both would prefer the war to go on.

@notsoloud @randahl Interesting theory. I had not even considered that part.

@Catawu
Looking at @randahl s later post, looks like it's more a case of an angry divorced and deported woman with very little to lose in a custody battle.

So often it's the banal silly things that blow the lid off.

@notsoloud @randahl Does that make anything she says true? Or Untrue?
@Catawu
No. But it could be the motivation that actually makes it happen.
@randahl

@notsoloud @randahl I could see her being quiet in order to not risk losing custody… but with that gone… and she has information (how could she not?) she’s right: She has nothing to lose.

It’s like her ex used his influence with the corrupt to make her suffer— not realizing that the pin they just pulled was on the grenade they’d been trying to hide for decades… “Hell hath no fury…”

@Catawu
Not sure whether women or men are more furious. But snatching kids will deffo get you there.
@randahl
@notsoloud @randahl equal measure I think. Especially parents. This is the nightmare they all have and seeing it acted out by Federal thugs is a level of PTSD no one will get past.
@randahl Let's assume the hypothetical subject didn't spend those billions out of his pockets, but from public money. This is more accurate.
@randahl Do I really have to follow every single political thing to understand all these references? It's been getting tiring for years mate. I know I'm fucked. Hearing about it everyday doesn't make it much better for my mental health. Fuck me.
@scottytrees @randahl All you really need to know is that Melania Trump made sure the Epstein files were back in the news cycle.
@scottytrees I do think reading posts from @randahl generally does require following most political things, yes.
@ahltorp @scottytrees I work as it says on the tin, I am afraid. 😀
@scottytrees @randahl Maybe sign off for awhile? Give your psyche a rest? Realize that no one here is forcing anything on you and you are not obligated to endure anything that discomforts you.
@randahl
Wonder if she's seen that Pam Bondi has avoided a subpoena by "no longer being in the role"... maybe Melania is about to divorce Donald ... ?
@randahl As far as I know Melania is not suicidal ..
@randahl What's fun is I don't know whether she did that because she thought it would help her, or if she was fucking with Donald.
