With Degree Debunked, Melania Trump Website Is Taken Down

apple · Guru

ooopsy....

Tinydancer · Guru

Yeah...lol...You're not biased.

apple · Guru

How is posting this biased?

Is it a lie?
Or would you prefer only to have articles heralding Trump posted here?

Tinydancer · Guru

You only post things like this about Trumps Presidential bid. How come there are no posts about Hillary the criminal?

Tinydancer · Guru

BIAS!!!!!!!!

To be fair almost everyone's LinkedIn account has some degree of falsification. They just aren't under this type of scrutiny.

I agree.

I'm simply showing the "other side" to which many here don't want to see I suppose....

apple · Guru

Trumps "people" should have taken care of this much earlier.

Ohfour · Hooker

Again, I really don't care about Trump's wife. I'm not voting for him because of her.

Tangerine · Guru

I don't understand why everyone made a big deal about the speech. I thought it was pretty well known that all the big politicians use the same speech writers.
She shouldn't have lied though.

I am with apple. Posting something negative about republicans is just posting. If it is negative, well, is it biased? when things are posted about democrats, are they biased?
We all have biases.
WE are all prejudicial

The board is just not used to hearing things that are negative about Trump because they don't like to hear it. Heck, they CANT hear it.

Once again, you are all entitled to your opinions.

You are not voting for Mrs Trump, ok fair. so we should not hear about her. But what about the negative things said about Michelle Obama? Not voting for her, never voted for her. So they should also be irrelevant. But they aren't. They are fodder for the Republicans, the far right here. ANd are posted and posted and criticized.

Cant have it both ways, folks, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Except apple doesn't believe she's biased so you're not really agreeing with her. You said we are ALL biased so that means apple is as well.

Ok. Melania lied about receiving a degree.

Bad Melania.

Send her to Milan without a credit card!

But wait! Hillary lied about using a private server.

Then she lied about classified emails being sent over that private server.

Sooo one lie is about being able to design floor plans and the other lie could serverely affect national security.

Which one is the more important lie?

Here we go, justify wrongs by pointing the finger everywhere else.

Melania lied or at the very least "misrepresented" her degree.

Trumps team should have caught that and taken the "misrepresentation" down, ages ago.

But hey, who cares right?

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Except Melania is not running for president, Hillary is. And Hillary was a government employee, answerable to the people.

Ohfour · Hooker

Melania didn't lie under oath to Congress.

Oh no.

Lying is wrong.

Perspective is very important.

What the left wants is to take the scutiny off themselves.

It's that plank vs speck thing.

The degree is a speck, the lying about national security is a plank.

Let's keep things in perspective.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Melania didn't illegally store classified government secrets on her personal server and get hacked by the Russians.

Melania didn't illegally delete emails that are subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

Melania isn't responsible for the deaths of people she is supposed to protect.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

More deflection from the real issues to keep from having to talk about Hillary's crimes.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Guys.

The only important thing is getting the scrutiny off Killary.

But there are times when lying is criminal. And Hillary criminally lied.

Yes, lying is wrong. But, in a presidential election - don't you think all the lying by an actual candidate is more important to focus on than some lies by their spouse. Especially when we are talking about lies that matter vs. those that really don't?

We have addressed the thread. We don't care about her lying about a degree.

Lily,
She's not capable of understanding rational debate. She wants to poke the bear, and when we don't fall for her crap, she posts little things, like, "of course" and "I already knew".
Quit feeding her and she will get bored. She's Canadian...she either doesn't understand out system (as has been proven) or she is willfully ignorant...and walking the very fine troll line...

NAOW · Vette's SS

I care. Stuff like this is stupid to lie about and takes down your credibility much more than the lie is worth. It frustrates me. Especially because there are bigger things to be scrutinizing and this takes the focus from those.

People hate Trump and I get it, but I don't understand why people are OK with focusing on his flaws and ignoring Hillary's. It's like they are so bound and determined to prove he is 'bad' that they will overlook her.

apple · Guru

Melania's lie has been proved.
Any other allegations you seem to call lies, have not been proved.

A LIE is a lie and speaks to integrity.
And, Ed is right, this also shows you that with the speech and now this, the vetting is not as good as it could or should be.

And since you brought it up, here:

Donald Trump is as regular and as shocking a liar. Consider three episodes, only. For many years, Trump posed as his own spokesman, calling himself John Miller or John Baron (or Barron). Under this guise, he would brag to reporters about his sex life, or adulterous life. He admitted this in a court case. But this year, perhaps forgetting that he had already admitted it, he denied it. At the same time he was denying it, some of his supporters were celebrating it, saying, “Ha, he goofed on the press, how cool!” They loved him more than ever. But they were not on the same page as their man: who was denying it. Though he had admitted it before. There’s an old line: “I cannot tell a lie because I don’t have a good enough memory.” During the recent GOP convention, Trump talked about the location of that convention. “I wanted it to be here. And they had lots of choices. I wanted it to be in Ohio. I recommended Ohio.” The Republicans’ decision to hold their convention in Cleveland was announced in July 2014. Did Trump determine or influence the decision? This is a small thing — relatively small thing — but isn’t it telling?

How rude you are. I'm right here actively posting, I guess you don't know much about manners. Or your are so vindictive you think that you are somehow minimizing me and my opinions by speaking ABOUT me rather than to me is acceptable.

Lily is quite capable of making up her own mind and does not require your coaching.

Perfect.

I think this is a very good response.

People should care about lies and about integrity as well as how well a candidate is vetting these issues. Both Candidates.

I don't hate Trump, by pointing out the hypocrisies and untruths on this board I have been cast in the role of Trump hater. So be it.

Yes what a horrible woman trying to get children to eat healthy! HORRID.

Actually you do have a point, using her powers as First Lady, Michelle is in a different class than Melania.

Its not a lie until it has been proven to be a lie.
