Just thinking about it: can you imagine being the butler/maitre d/housekeeper/chamber maid etc at the White House and facing your employers changing from the Obamas to Don and Mel? I really do think they will have trouble hanging on to the domestic staff over the next few months Grin

I didn't blame anyone for marrying an abusive twat I said that if they do, then that is their problem which it is.

WorraLiberty · 11/11/2016 00:05

Btw i also have a foreign name no one can pronounce. I don't think the OP is eeeeevil

Don't be silly.

Of course people can pronounce your name if they take a little time and effort to do so.

How do you think people learn to master whole other languages fluently?

I dare you to post that on the relationships board. You married an abuser-that's your problem. No sympathy from me. You sound lovely.

Pluto30 · 11/11/2016 00:05

Er, no, you said that she should be ashamed of herself.

Sounds like blame to me.

And yet, Trump voters are apparently the misogynists?

ArmySal · 11/11/2016 00:06

Breathtaking, Its, so simplistic.

ItsJustNotRight · 11/11/2016 00:06

It means they have to live with it and the mess, heartache and devastation that follows. When twat of a husband starts inflicting it on the wider population then it becomes everyone's problem. He is going to inflict it internationally.

PresidentDonaldTrump · 11/11/2016 00:07

Well least my wife isn't a stupid liberal idiot. Crying liberals make me happy.

ItsJustNotRight · 11/11/2016 00:09

I'm missing something here are you saying that if you have an abusive partner you don't have a problem? Are you saying that's fine? Are you saying you should put up with it? Since usual response is LTB surely there must be a problem?

Pluto30 · 11/11/2016 00:10

No, you said she should be ashamed. You can't try to backpeddle now; it's literally, word for word, right there.

Pluto30 · 11/11/2016 00:11

I work in law enforcement. It could not be clearer that you've never known an abused person, and that you've never experienced it yourself. Spend a day in my job and your attitude will have changed ten-fold by the end of the shift. Your attitude is disgraceful, you should be ashamed.

MidniteScribbler · 11/11/2016 00:18

I'm absolutely not a fan of Trump, but calling his wife that is just disgusting.

Pickthatup · 11/11/2016 00:19

I'm sure they could recruit staff from the millions that voted for him.

ItsJustNotRight · 11/11/2016 00:20

Pluto you are so wrong. If you find yourself in a abusive relationship then you have a - shall I say dilemma instead? You need to remove yourself from it. You either stay and endure it for many varied reasons or you choose to remove yourself from it. That to me is what I would call a problem. I'm not saying it is the woman's fault, I am saying they are in an unhealthy relationship and that is a problem. Most people given adequate resources and places of safety choose to remove themselves from that situation. If they didn't there would be no need for support services like the one you work for.

ArmySal · 11/11/2016 00:21

No idea whatsoever, Its.

Lorelei76 · 11/11/2016 00:22

Thank you Worra but oddly enough I know that already.

Pluto30 · 11/11/2016 00:23

You're just straight up wrong, Its. I'm not even going to entertain your bile anymore.

WorraLiberty · 11/11/2016 00:27

Thank you Worra but oddly enough I know that already.

Then your previous post makes even less sense unless you were being ironic/sarcastic and I failed to read it Blush perfectly possible at this time of night

girlinacoma · 11/11/2016 00:28

Oh come off it!

She didn't marry him for any reason other than his money. She knew exactly what she was doing. The idea that she is some clueless little wifey under her husbands thumb is just ludicrous and bloody patronising actually.

She deserves to be as much in the firing line as he does. Hideous, hideous couple the pair of them.

Baylisiana · 11/11/2016 00:34

Melania is not innocuous, and she is even more damaging as First Lady. If you doubt this, watch her interview with....I think CNN....where she excuses the whole grab them by the pussy debacle. She really sets a terrible example. She has got no end of money and influence by marrying this horrible man, she can't and I'm sure doesn't expect to escape all judgment too. Judging.

Pluto30 · 11/11/2016 00:37

I bet you're all Hillary supporters though, right? Baylis and girl

That may be the case, but people can still judge and still call someone by their correct name.

hareOrRabbit · 11/11/2016 00:39

oh come on! let's get real here!

you aren't talking about someone who is ' choosing to be abused so it's her fault' or someone who can't leave because they lack resources or ability to find help or someone who was seduced by prince charming who turns into a violent husband without warning.

you are talking about a woman who KNOWINGLY married
a man with a past of misogynistic comments most likely for his money. it's not a concealed surprise exactly is it?

AND not only chooses to stay with him but defends him publicly on a public stage where she has a responsibility to all our daughters and young women.

do I have a problem with that? hell yes!
do I think less of her to marry a man like that for money and stay after what he's done and said?hell yes

is that the same as blaming an abuse victim? no. and if you think it is you have disappeared up your own arse in a fart of politcal correctness gone mad.

a woman who actively supports a man like that in public is letting everyone down. shame she doesn't have a daughter or she might view things differently.

Pluto30 · 11/11/2016 00:41

hare Also a Hillary supporter, I'm assuming?

hareOrRabbit · 11/11/2016 00:43

not at all. can't bear clinton.

Pluto30 · 11/11/2016 00:43

Well, at least you're consistent. More than a lot of people on here.
