I actually don't know this woman but needless to say, she is not very knowledgable about Melania.


The comedian — who was wearing a pink hat that said “I Stand with Planned Parenthood” — gave a firm no when she was asked if she would hypothetically ever have the first lady on her Netflix series.

“No,” Handler said during an interview with Variety. “Melania? To talk about what? She can barely speak English.”

When Handler was asked what she thinks of Melania, she said, “Exactly what I think about him [Donald Trump] as the first man. Nothing. I don’t respect either one of those people.”

Handler said if Trump was present during the interview right then she would tell him to “**** off.”

“**** off,” she said. “I mean, ugh. He is the grossest.”

Melania speaks five languages — her native Slovene, English, French, Serbian and German.

Handler is gross. I am not criticizing Melania here or downplaying her language skills but it fairly common for people of Europe in general and of that region in particular to speak 3-4-5 languages due to the proximity of the counties. My Croatian granfather was fluent in croatian, Italian, german and one other but could barely speak any English.

English and French are very different than the other languages she speaks. I'm barely able to speak English. Nor sure Handler has mastered our language either.

If she's fluent in those she's probably passable in Italian and Croatian as well.

Have you made it to Croatia? It is a fantastic country! The coastline and islands are really nice with very clear water. It was our summer weekend hangout when we lived in Italy so we spent quite a bit of time there.

Calling Chelsea Handler a celebrity is a yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge stretch. Not sure why you take this **** so seriously. We get it, you were unpopular in school.

Haven't been yet. My wife's grandparents and mother are from Germany. She still has family there. We are looking at a 2-3 week vacation to Europe in 2018 or maybe a 7-10 day cruise as early as this year just to Croatia and surrounding countries.

How does this surprise you? Do you monitor everything Maher says too? People (esp in Hollywood) have a right to say what they think. It's not part of a liberal conspiracy and it's not news. Let it go. Stop using these extreme statements to fuel the US VERSUS THEM narrative.

May I make a suggestion that you will absolutely love. There is no more beautiful city in Eastern Europe that Prague. It is simply stunning. The architecture amazing. Food is ok, not great. You don't go to these countries expecting great food. You won't be sorry.

I disagree. A huge constituency of liberals is Hollywood and entertainment (e.g. the idiotic Lena Dunham that Hillary actually campaigned with). If I can continue to point out the idiocy of these people, it serves to show us more insight into the liberal mind. If it were one or two people, I would simply ignore their rantings. But this is an entire industry, a cultural movement.

The most perplexing thing about how the Left thinks is they appear incapable of "adapting" their embedded ideology. Abortion, Environment, Race, these can never be adjusted no matter what the reality suggests.

This chick (Sally), Mr. Ellison, those marchers this past weekend, all talk about the Left's values and none of them realize how mixed up or out of sync with a vast majority of the country those values are!

They can't adjust their message, they can't think outside the box, they can't imagine that they could even possibly and most likely are wrong in how they think. They are being led by people who despise what America stands for in exchange for their false ideological assumptions.

It's beyond entertaining.

She is a very funny person, but probably a "C" list celeb. She used to have a late night talk show on E a few years ago; pretty funny sometimes. However, she can be very crude and sometimes mean in the way she talks to people; lacking in basic social skills (unlike Maher who is obviously poised and intelligent if misguided).

However, as we know it is common that celebs (artsy types) can be anywhere from somewhat liberal to raging leftists. It is uncommon that they are moderates or conservative, I'd like to give you an example other than Charlton Heston (who is dead) but I'm having trouble coming up with one... oh, Toby Keith!

Anyway, it is something in the way their brain is wired I feel; part of that left brain/right brain thing that I've never really understood. So therefore I seldom pay attention to what these folks have to say as they don't: a.) have much in common with me, b.) don't represent my lifestyle.

You do realize that you are labeling a very large group that has a large variety of political ideologies together into one political entity? Your guilty of the same things so many on the right complained about over the last 8.

Boom, with all due respect, the vast majority of Hollywood is liberal. It is simply beyond dispute. There is a conservative group called Friend of Abe's (Abraham Lincoln). They are anonymous for a reason, most fear unemployment. There is not a lot of variety in Hollywood. The vast majority range from liberal to very, very liberal/socialist.

There are a few libertarians, like Vince Vaughn for example. A small number of conservatives like Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck, Stallone, etc. But it is a very small number in comparison. Almost all studio heads are extremely liberal. The town back in the 50's was actually fairly conservative. It has changed dramatically.

Eastwood and Vaughn are struggling too aren't they? Practically blackballed

Jon Voight is one. Clint Eastwood is another.

Republicans in Hollywood have an underground social club thing. I think it's called Friends of Abe. It's kind of like what the socialists were doing during and before the McCarthyism era.

My mother is from Germany as I noted and not far from Prague. We will definately go there.

I second the thoughts on Prague! It is incredible. We liked Budapest as well but Prague was our favorite. There is something unique in these eastern European cities and the history is fascinating.

We were not far from Motovun and Groznjan. These are little hill towns as in Tuscany but without the thousands of tourists. We made quite a few weekend trips to the rock beaches at Prementura. Split, Korcula, and Plitvice are also interesting. I guess the jewel is Dubrovnik. We only made it there once as it was the farthest away but it was really nice.

If you have any questions on that are just drop me a PM. We lived just across the Slovenian border in Trieste, Italy for 3-1/2 years.

When you are as powerful as they are you don't worry. But that is not Friends of Abe. Google it. If you are a young actor, a struggling actor or an actor that has not yet made it, and you're conservative, you hide it as best you can.

I'm not sure how you don't know this already. This is not some secret news.

I like Prague but Budapest is awesome and has better looking women. If you're in Budapest make the effort to go to one of the hot springs baths; Szechenyi is the most prominent but there are others. It's something very different from the U.S.; kind of like going to a water park here I guess but without the screaming children. The architecture is phenomenal as is most of the city.

Oh, yeah...forgot about him. One of the reasons I think that he and Angelina didn't speak for years.

I read that it is more than that. She is a bit of an enigma. She says things that are very liberal. But every once in a while, she surprises you. Maybe a little of her father coming out.

On the contrary, Eastwood doesn't act anymore preferring to direct instead. Just did "Sully" with Tom Hanks in 2016 and has another project in the works. Vaughan I think has made a couple of real stinkers in his last three films and that is his problem, not his politics.

I spent 7 days in Prague old town. Stayed at the Hilton Old Town. Food was outstanding and was an all day buffet. Prague was terrific and was one of the many places I'll never forget..

Spent 2 weeks in the Czech Republic while filming D&D. What I really liked, aside from Prague itself, was the Czech country side. Very similar to parts of WV, PA and MD.

Did anyone else see a bunch of hookers along the roadway when driving from another country into the Czech Republic? We were on the road from Vienna and noticed a "nightclub" right on the border of the country road and a hooker about every 200 yards along the road for the first few miles.

Slasher/Horror movies with the occasional action movie. Most all DTV, but the concessional wide release like Getaway with Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez.
Dude, After Dark means SSC and N. Not slasher flicks. Once again you have ruined my day.
