Even though it's on earlier than The Last Word and The 11th Hour. I've wondered if it's because it's repeated twice or because those are bound to be the most popular...

Since a lot of these videos are excerpts so the explanations help.

Kudos to both of them.

I do feel sorry for Mrs. Wolkoff for that terrible nose job. (Yes, I know I'm an asshole for making fun of her appearance, you don't have to tell me.)

0800 mark- Melania looks down and to the right...then her lips move.
She has an earpiece in. Someone was talking in her ear at that moment
and she poorly sub-vocalized her response. That's why she scowls.
She's trying to listen to her earpiece...and she she is irritated at the
interruption.

The word she mouth's is "Da" yes in russian.

from something like a Presidential Inauguration, what is to be done with the excess? I am going to google this but I would like some expert opinions from the DU crew.

there was never this amount of excess funds, $50m plus. It has to be properly accounted for, but they can spend it in many ways. It probably went into Trump's bank account though.

snake pit. I imagine all administration have their moments such as this 'infighting' but these revelations go beyond that into staggering duplicity and deceit. Malaria's ex-friend is a very brave person and I do believe her, every word. I said somewhere earlier I wouldn't spend a dime on books as she wrote. I will try to find it today. She deserves her integrity and professional life back
