First Lady-elect Melania Trump appeared in a Maryland courtroom Monday for a scheduling conference as legal proceedings geared up in a defamation suit against a Montgomery County blogger and a British tabloid.
Mrs. Trump was not required to attend the court conference, but chose to do so, to meet the judge, meet opposing counsel, and show her commitment to the case, said her attorney, Charles J. Harder.
He said the incoming first lady looks forward to seeing the case to a successful conclusion.
The 24-minute hearing covered standard scheduling matters for civil litigation.

And Bill's oatmeal cookies were way better than Melania's boring sugar cookies. Bill would be a much better first spouse

He's looking past Melania, one hand off of her.
That picture of him with ivanka skeeves me out.

(9,696 posts)There are many legitimate reasons not to like melania, but calling her stupid names just sounds like "locker room talk."

(3,077 posts)Well so much of the media is lazy and is looking for something catchy. They are focused on clicks and ratings as opposed to facts and figures. So many missing details. It's unbelievable.

(17,194 posts)With so much else wrong with news reportage these days, the little pinpricks of bad grammar and insipid, vacuous imprecision should not cause irritation, but oh, they do. Get it right or don't get it at all, fools.

(18,652 posts)the R's heads would have exploded. But she's suing over a blogger saying something not nice---big deal. How about Donnie insisting our pres wasn't born in the US?

is that she doesn't like Don.

(4,150 posts)I REALLY think Melania would MUCH prefer not to have ANYTHING to do with the Presidency or any of its trappings. Nonetheless, she is in it now.
Melania's naked pictures or sleazy ads don't matter. . . Really, they don't. What bothers me is the goddamned hypocrisy. Had ANY Democrat-- ANY at all- done the same thing? Can ANY of you imagine the continual, consistent SHIT STORM that would be blasting out of EVERY Repig's pie hole about it?
