William "Bloody Bill" Kristol, an early Never Trumper, neocon philosopher and regular antagonist of the mentally ill and reckless Malignant Fascist, has these observations on Melanoma Melania Trump's strange speech yesterday trying to absolve herself -- but not her corrupt husband -- from the taint of the Epstein-Trump scandal:
"Melania is perhaps not a deep thinker, but she’s no fool. Since immigrating to the United States three decades ago, Melania Knauss has done well for herself. She’s shown that she has a shrewd sense of how to operate in her adopted country. She’s risen to the top, while mostly avoiding being directly engulfed in all the scandals that have raged around her.
And now she seems to think that the man to whom she hitched herself may be going down. She’s trying to arrange not to go down with him.
She presumably doesn’t think her husband can be induced to become one of those 'prominent male executives' who resigns from his powerful position. But she knows that he can be removed from it. Isn’t Melania signaling others in the Trump administration and her husband’s supporters in Congress that it’s time to abandon ship, that it’s time to remove him from office?
It should not have taken Melania Trump, acting in her own self-interest, to spur this action. Others should have come to this conclusion based on a judgment of what’s necessary for the well-being of the nation. But one welcomes any helping hand in our current drama." (our emphasis)
We're less sanguine about the effect of Trump's speech, but better late than never, better a little than nothing.
