Vanity Fair's editorial staff is considering a protest walk-out if Melania Trump is put on the magazine's cover.

Get ready for a deluge of mainstream media coverage of the non-present spouse of the man who has a desk in the oval office. She's written a book, has a photo-journal coming out, and Trump will pull out all the stops to make sure she gets a slew of coverage.

Republicans want to change the name of the Kennedy Centers Opera House to bear Melania's name. The measure passed a House Committee but seems to be in limbo.

My reaction: Ick.

More ick: Trump brought back Jared Kushner for a meeting on Gaza. Another sign that Trump's plan is to give Kushner's company the contract to build Gaza into the Middle-Eastern Riviera, perhaps named after Donald? With Ivanka doing the decorating? [More...]

The lyrics that made me think of Melania and Donald's relentless need for fame and a permanent legacy, such as their names on buildings or his face on Mount Rushmore:

[Bridge]
....
We all wanna be big, big stars
Yeah, but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me
'Cause I don't believe in anything
And I, I wanna be someone to believe

....Mr. Jones and me Staring at the video
When I look at the television, I wanna see me
Staring right back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don't know why and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me
I wanna be just about as happy as I can be

    should tell Melania they are going to do a cover with her and then proceed when she shows up for the interview ask her all the questions about Jeffrey Epstein. She will probably leave and then VF can write an editorial about how they were going to feature Melania but she refused an interview.

    Love that, Dan!
    Probably not going to happen, but it would be great if it did.
