What a change from 2017 when Melania Trump was totally ignored by the fashion industry. This time the top drawer designer who dressed her brags about it.


“The tradition of the presidential inauguration embodies the beauty of American democracy and today we had the honor to dress our first lady, Mrs. Melania Trump,” Lippes said in a statement. “Mrs. Trump’s outfit was created by some of America’s finest craftsmen and I take great pride in showing such work to the world.”




Remember 2016 all the lower fashion women who said they were Kyle not dress Melania as if someone asked them to do so?

Melania was gorgeous in her flat black hat...


Dollars to donuts that glance at her hat is the only "head" he'll get from his wife these next four years.

Wonder who he'll be banging, and whether the secret can be kept?

Who will she invite to sample her pleasures while she's propped up as first lady?

The Secret Service will have a tough time keeping those "secrets."

Should make for good soap opera.

LOL: that clown may be able to "rule" a country but he cannot control, rule or even get a genuine kind word from his wife: really, what does that tell you?

You can't challenge a pardon in Court, that is kind of the point.


"Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."

I think the part that may be challenged is the pardons being given without actually knowing what offense(s) for which they are receiving a pardoned. There was talk about this being challenged in the Nixon case but no one seemed to want to open that can of worms for the best of the country.

Also, didn't Trump just say he is not going to focus on Hunter Biden stuff anymore because he wants to focus on healing?)


Hunter's is a mixed pardon. His pardon for known crimes seems untouchable. Shouldn't the pardon also mention the other offenses?

I'd like it all challenged because it seems like a making a broad power even more powerful means people could get pardoned for a huge myriad of horrid things by a corrupt President.

TikTok was not banned by Executive order, it was banned via a (bipartisan) law passed last spring that finally went into effect, (and was upheld by the Supreme Court.)


Yes, I said that...

Quote: Gandler
The law does allow the President to grant a 90 day reprieve to effected companies which is apparently what Trump is going to for TikTok (maybe already has.)


They had 270 days to get something done and, under the right conditions, an extension could be done...

"EXTENSION.—With respect to a foreign adversary controlled application, the President may grant a 1-time extension
of not more than 90 days with respect to the date on which
this subsection would otherwise apply to such application
pursuant to paragraph (2), if the President certifies to Congress
that—
(A) a path to executing a qualified divestiture has
been identified with respect to such application;
(B) evidence of significant progress toward executing
such qualified divestiture has been produced with respect
to such application; and
(C) there are in place the relevant binding legal agreements to enable execution of such qualified divestiture
during the period of such extension."

The 270 days past and no deal was in place and certified to Congress.

Is it okay to do it a day after it was due?

Legislation has been put in place to extend the time limit, so it seems at least some in Congress believe the clock expired.

"Washington (January 14, 2025) - Senators Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Representative Ro Khanna (CA-17) today announced the introduction of the Extend the TikTok Deadline Act, legislation that would delay the January 19 deadline by which ByteDance must sell TikTok or face a ban, by an additional 270 days. On January 13, Senator Markey delivered remarks on the U.S. Senate floor and live on TikTok regarding the consequences if TikTok is banned in the United States."

Wondering what this second term cost him in a renegotiated prenup...

The people in OZ must think America is nuts. This starts with left wingers trying to explain what a woman is and gets crazier from there!

Dude you so need to get laid, your continued obsession with "woman".

That being said, maybe a woman is someone with a pu$$y for Donny to grab?

I see Melania was dressed in black: either she's in mourning over Carter, unhappy with having to pretend she's a happily married woman, or she's a subject to the upcoming MAGA witch trials.

Salem Massachusetts has nothing on Washington D.C.

If Trump dropped dead, she only needed a veil.

Looks like Trump already bilked followers out of substantial amount of money.

I think it's possible the USA will back-out Biden's presidency after they uncover vote theft.
