      She still has a heavy Russian Slovenian accent/intonation despite many years living in America, and her voice is reminiscent of Natasha, one of the villains from Rocky and Bullwinkle who along with Boris were stereotypical Russian caricatures created for a cartoon that aired during the cold war.

        I’m actually rather astonished that her accent is so heavy and her diction is so stilted, after living in the US for 30 years. It’s as if she doesn’t have to speak to anyone in English. She also seems to have trouble pronouncing words correctly, even when they are written for her.

          For years, her and Barron spent most of their time with her parents, also illegal immigrants, and they all spoke Serbian. Word was that when Barron started school, he could barely speak English, and he spoke it with a Slavic accent.

        Slovenian. Slovenia was not only never part of Russia, the Soviet Union but not even the East Block. It was part of Yugoslavia which was block free. It’s a beautiful country, doing fairly well too and they got rid of Melania which is a plus.

        Slovenian might be also the most distant Slavic language to Russian, it is Slavic though of course.

                It’s not because she’s foreign, we like foreigners. She’s getting shit because she’s a goldigging MAGA whore, at best. At worst, shes a pedophile Russian intelligence agent, working with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

                All of that is fair game for vicious, relentless bullying, and anyone supporting her deserves the same treatment.

            Oof. That movie was a hard watch when I was a kid. I added it to my collection recently, thinking that I was too young to appreciate it, but I still haven’t been able to finish watching it.

              i went with friends to watch it in the second run theater back in the day. we did bad movie nights all the time and would make fun of them like mst3k and it was great. no one else was in the theater so we got to play mystery science theater in a real theater! it was great! we even brought a pizza and had ditched school, it was wonderful.

              the movie was so bad we ran out of stuff to make fun of (like, we had to start repeating stuff to make fun of) after 45 minutes so we started playing tag. we had another hour of that theater being ours and we were going to use it.

                Did you know that you can rent a theater? Back when I did it, it was relatively affordable: about $200 for 2.5 hours. I went with a small group of friends and we played Halo

                  it is very, very tempting but i’d rather sink the money on getting a better home theater.

                  great for a medium group of friends though, as long as they don’t mind me bringing in a cuban buffet (the shack i wanted to buy for my own and turn into an ice creamery, it is now a cuban restaurant i will make them cater)

              next time you see your parents give them a hug for raising you right

              also the tv. the tv doesn’t get enough hugs and i’m sure it’s sad.

            It is also not really a reference that is widely known outside of the US (or North America).

      That’s what I’ve been saying. I’m starting to think that it may be a deliberate strategy, and they’ll just keep shifting the focus back and forth. When one issue gets too hot, shift to the other one, until the first one cools off. Then you can switch again.

          Yes. I mean I saw bits of that clip myself, it looked like that. But I guess you can’t spell contention without content.

          Edit: You know what, you’re right. It isn’t. This is from the speech.

          But… I don’t see how it matters at all, I don’t think perfect sourcing is really the point of this meme, we all got the reference obv. I mean not the moose thing, but the Melania thing, that I got.
