Hating On Melania - Rose Garden Meltdown Edition

[GURPS]

Ex-NY Times reporter under fire for ‘xenophobic’ attack on Melania Trump


Kurt Eichenwald — who spent two decades at the Gray Lady — was ripped for a series of tweets in apparent fury at the Slovenia-born first lady’s proud reveal of the freshly renovated White House Rose Garden.

“It is a destruction of our history, something no other First Lady would have had the gall to do,” said the now-bestselling author who was twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

“This is the first time I have been furious that @FLOTUS is a foreigner. She has no right to wreck our history,” he said.

Rose Garden renovation reveals anti-Trump resistance even more deranged than it seems

One may not care for the new aesthetic, but it is what it is: a garden renovation. However, judging by the onslaught of hate directed at the first lady following the garden's reopening, one would think that she had murdered a baby panda on live television. And even crazier than a weirdly large number of people claiming to have an emotional investment in the Rose Garden is that their furious responses reveal they are unfamiliar both with the basics of the renovation and horticulture. These people do not know why they are angry. They just know that they are.

“I feel SICK to my stomach that ho cut down our Glorious DC Cherry Trees. Sick,” said actress Lisa Ann Walter. “My outrage is that there's a classless, illegal immigrant, former escort masquerading as a first lady. Our country deserves better.”

First, those were not "cherry trees" in the Rose Garden. They were crabapple trees. Second, they were not "cut down." (The remainder of Walter’s note does not dignify a response.) The first lady’s changes emphasize roses, which require at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight. As a result, the crabapple trees have been removed so that their shade does not adversely affect the roses. The trees will be replanted elsewhere on the White House grounds, according to USA Today.

“A seating area on the east side of the garden … has been removed and will be replaced by a yet-to-be-announced art installation,” USA Today reports. “The most visually striking change to the garden was the addition of a 3-foot-wide limestone walking path bordering the central lawn.”

The report adds, “Less noticeable changes include improved drainage and infrastructure and making the garden more accessible for people with disabilities. Audiovisual, broadcasting and other technical fixes are part of the plan, too.”

I had 2 crabapple trees in my front yard. One was taken down about 10 yrs ago. The other still creates a mess with the blossoms and leaves. My wife wants that one gone.

Mooch could have paved over the rose garden and the left would have been ecstatic.

Basketball Court?

So, the left doesn't care about the founding history of this country and want all statues removed that remind us of that history, but suddenly are concerned about some history in the Rose Garden of the White House?

The stenching hypocrisy from these leftists never fails to entertain.

I don't know many of today's celebrities---never heard of Lisa Ann Walter, but her statement tell me she is an ignorant wench.
She has the gall to call our first lady an illegal and classless immigrant and a ho , and former escort.
How stupid can you be to say that about our First lady when we all know she is going to vote for a classless ho and former mistress for Vice President.

I understand they make great fuel for offset smoker grills.

There was a huge discussion on one of my native plant FB pages regarding the "change" yesterday. People that are ordinarily nice, civil and complimentary turned not so nice and sometimes down right rude. It was easy to spot the democraps and Trump haters!

Granted, we all promote and appreciate native gardening for the pollinators, but I didn't see what the huge deal was. The sidewalk that replaced grass was to accommodate people with disabilities. The trees that usually have a 40 year life span anyways and were planted 30 something years ago, were transplanted.

The second I saw that original article that she had rehabbed the garden, I knew this follow up was inevitable

Use to be the location of the stables, after a press conference both need mucking out.

There is literally nothing these people won't lose their chit over.

The reno includes walkways to make the Rose Garden accessible for those with disabilities. I never in a million years thought I'd hear so-called liberals complaining about that.

What's most annoying is that some durhard posted side by side pics of "before" and "after". The before is with everything in bloom, clearly a spring pic because you can see the tulips front and center. The after is a mid-August garden without the, you know, spring perennials. And the bots just threw common sense right out the window in their Trumprage. "OMG look what that terrible woman has done to our garden!!!"

These are broken people.

It's really disheartening to see the depths of these people's hatred for Trump. My God, we lived through barry the bumbler's reign of errors and got someone in office to try to put America first again, and they throw a temper tantrum for close to 4 ****ing years. I really do believe it's a mental illness. SMDH.

and they throw a temper tantrum for close to 4 ****ing years.

Their definition of division and "darkness".

I wish one of them could say oh I hate him because he shut down my business; forced me to pay fees and taxes and I had to lay off employees; made stuff illegal and now I'm going to jail; screwed the economy and I can't make ends meet; messed up my healthcare and I can't afford nothing.

But it's none of that - it's oh he lies all the time and he's a racist. IS he now? What did he DO that makes him a bad President?

Journalists Horrified As Melania Unveils 50-Foot-Tall Trump-Shaped Bushes In Rose Garden

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Journalists, as well as some actual people, are outraged after First Lady Melania Trump unveiled her White House rose garden redesign over the weekend. The new design features roses, zig-zag hedgerows, and a modest 50-foot topiary carved into the shape of Donald Trump.

The media is nothing but a bunch of crows squawking to hear themselves squawk.

Trying to find ANYTHING on Google where conservatives, the press and pundits busted on Jill Biden last week.

Still looking - anybody? Did I miss something?

"Global Earth"? Kind of redundant isn't it?
