Made his whore a senator?
Scholars argue this didnt happen and was written as comedic insult by one of his detractors.
Scholars argue a lot of things. Though it's true that a lot of the work of Roman historians is really one faction slandering another. But the behavior of some of the emperors was so grotesquely evil that it's hard to separate the truth from the lies.
Both the greeks and romans and their forebearers all practiced just obvious bias in their writing. About a rival they might describe him as the most famous pederast of the land.

We've advanced so much since then! We've put a pedophile in power, yet allow him to bury the evidence so nobody calls him that.

Her only qualification for this is what, catching loads from a child-raping traitor?
"Doing jobs Americans won't."

Performing.
She might have taken loads from other UN dignitaries or the leaders of their countries as well.

Let ICE know.
Content for Melania 2.
I think they're doing a reality TV series next, because this is what we deserve.
Is the UN failing citizens as well? Why was she even allowed to preside?
Because a country can assign whoever they want to be their representative, even if it makes a farce of the whole thing.
Trump is trying to undermine the UN because he wants to replace it with the “Board of peace” or genocide cover up committee
Why is an unelected person whose only claim to fame is being a baby chute for a pedophile representing us at the UN?
I didn't think she had any kids
wow they really don't care, do you?
Goddammit. These jackasses have made our country a fucking joke. Only, the joke on us
Can we please appoint literally any other hooker on earth?
Truly the most qualified of all potential candidates. This is an absolute joke.
Honestly, I see the news, but no one has said yet just how and why the fuck the first lady presided over the fucking UN Security Council?
WTF? Why was this even a thing? The fuck is wrong with the UN?
Honestly, this is the moment where it feels hopeless. If this fucking asshole can put his hooker wife in front of the world, and the world capitulates... There's no one coming to help us, the epstien class has won, they have all the power and are rubbing our noses in it.
The US is a permanent member of the security council and can choose their delegation.
