Once again, it's a fascist country, run by a family dynasty. This is how it's going to be.

Melania: “To make peace you must suck, suck, then fuck, fuck.”

She looks like a Guy Fawkes mask?

The UN Security Council should not allow a former Epstein employee to preside over a meeting.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

It should be abolished. Ton of waste money for that shitshow where countries recide strongly worded letters with no plan to act

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 6 points 12 hours ago

the first lady’s office said the meeting she will preside over will “emphasize education’s role in advancing tolerance and world peace.”

Advancing tolerance and world peace also goes hand to hand with getting rid of Trump and MAGA

That's where the UN are supposed to say "No."

As for the significance of Melania Trump presiding over the Security Council meeting, Dujarric called it “a sign of the importance that the United States feels towards the Security Council and the subject.”

🤔

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 2 points 2 hours ago

so not very important?

No one voted for Donald's CumDump.

Would love to see how she's actually qualified

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 56 points 23 hours ago

She's a genius, got in on an Epstein visa!

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 24 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I imagine you have to be very diplomatic when married to an narcissist toddler in an adult body.

Participating would already be kind of crazy. But did they actually say preside?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 19 hours ago

When the wife of President Donald Trump takes her seat in the president’s chair on Monday afternoon, it “will be the first time a first lady, or first gentleman for that matter, has ever presided over a Security Council meeting,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.

And yes, it's absolute lunacy.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 57 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Another fuck-you to the UN.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 37 points 20 hours ago

And another fuck you to the American people. Melania was not elected. She was not appointed and confirmed. She's a nobody in the eyes of our government. We Americans have a process for choosing people in our government and it's not supposed to be nepotism.

[–] BenjiRenji@feddit.org 9 points 21 hours ago

That's it, no? Trump's committee of building resorts on top of Gaza's pieces should replace the UN and to drive home the point they send the unserious First Lady.

I doubt the message will be that positive.

Lol, not saying a whore can't be qualified, but this whore? Lmao.

What the fuck

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 2 points 13 hours ago

LOLOLOLOLOL.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 17 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

Maybe Donald has decided he can't really trust Don Jr. and wants Melania to run in 2028. That way he can stay in the White House.

I have always said America is too sexist right now to elect a woman as President but maybe an exception can be made for a woman who would be so obviously taking orders from her husband.

[–] paranoia@feddit.dk 23 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You need to be a natural born US citizen.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago

We're about to see Trump issue an executive order proclaiming her to be natural-born citizen, and enough Republican states to say "Yup, that's good enough for us! After all, we already had one President from Kenya...."

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Replace with Michelle Obama and watch right lose their crap.

That dumb bitch can't even speak english...

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

There are so many legitimate reasons to hate her without making shit up or being xenophobic.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I've fortunately not had the displeasure to listen to her. That said, I don't think limited proficiency in English is really a reason to critique an immigrant, nor should that be a problem at the UN where many attendees need translators anyway.

Her lack of english proficiency is plenty of reason to critique her piece of shit ghoul husband, though. Beyond the sheer hypocrisy, one would think an anti-immigrant bigot like him would have a problem fostering chain migration.

Again, there are plenty of of reasons to dislike and critique Melania. She has no business at the UN in the first place. Her dumbass bullying initiative was as hypocritical as it gets. IIRC, she wore a jacket that said something like "I don't care" to go look at kids in cages on the US-Mexico border.

Her limited English proficiency isn't the problem with any of that. That's just outright xenophobic in my opinion.

Edit: fixed a typo

Didn't he send his daughter during his first mandate? Not sure if this is an improvement though

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Ivanka Trump attended the UNGA and had meetings there but did not preside over it.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Ah I see, getting worse over time then
