How does a Slovenian turn into a Russian? Do you take a green pill, or eat sparkle dust or something?

Have you found the written proof yet that Trump contacted the Russians directly like Ted Kennedy did?

Nope. In general, I really don't have a problem with Melania doing this. In some respects, this is like a NBA player who drops college to go pro. What she did was an understandable career choice. But the fact that the Republicans tried to spin it as her completing the degree is pretty pathetic. Or marveling over her ability to speak 5 languages. From the wikipedia... Slovenia has been a meeting area of the Slavic, Germanic, Romance, and Uralic linguistic and cultural regions, [3] [4] [5] which makes it the most complex meeting point of languages in Europe. [6] The official and national language of Slovenia is Slovene, which is spoken by a large majority of the population. It is also known, in English, as Slovenian. Two minority languages, namely Hungarian and Italian, are recognised as co-official languages and accordingly protected in their residential municipalities. [7] Other significant languages are Croatian and its variants and Serbian, spoken by most immigrants from former Yugoslavia and their descendants. Slovenia is ranked among the top European countries regarding the knowledge of foreign languages. The most often taught foreign languages are English and German, followed by Italian, French, and Spanish. [8] As noted, being multi-lingual is common in Slovenia. It has 3 official languages. Plus English is very common for most Europeans her age. Throw in another language, like German or French because of her work as a model and... I realize they want to paint her as something else than a trophy wife. But their attempts are pretty pathetic. And they have opened her up to being slagged in the press, which she doesn't deserve.
