Dear Melania, be glad your name is not Breona.

 RantWoman was in Louisville KY at a blindness related event the day that Marrick Garland and an assistant district attorney announced indictments of two Louisville police officers for lying in the affidavit that was the basis for the search warrant that brought police looking for Breona's former boyfriend to Breona's apartment as well as an indictment of a third officer on charges of excessive force for firing his service weapon multiple times through a closed curtain and killing Breona Taylor.

RantWoman watched a very sober very focused press conference video on her phone during the "it's really time to go to bed" part of the evening. It's the sort of news that makes one want to say something like "Okay Google is there a candlelight vigil or a prayer meeting somewhere in town because of this news?" Instead, that night RantWoman went to bed. This post is dedicated to moments when the justice system seems to be bending toward justice. 

To set the context:

Next we compare the men Breona's and Melania's lives:

Breona's ex-boyfriend, allegedly a drug dealer, kicked out of her household weeks earlier.

Breona's companion at the time she was killed: a man with no known criminal record who had a legal handgun which used in what, if he were white, would presumably have been treated as legal defense of his household against unknown intruders in the middle of the night.

The man in Melania's life:

--serial sexual assault perpetrator

--threatened a nuclear war on Twitter against Kim Jun Oun of North Korea

--tried to overthrow the results of a fully certified election

--summoned a mob to the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to avoid leaving office.

--signed a law increasing penalties for destruction of presidential records, and then spent most of his term tearing up and / or trying to flush records down the toilet.

--Was known to flash documents marked "Secret" around casually in public and Mar a Lago.

--probably did not manage to lie 33 million times while in office but did lie a whole bunch of times.

Does RantWoman need to go on?

RantWoman has this weird compulsion to try to defend the former First Lady.

--she is raising her son to be bilingual.

--RantWoman has no opinion about how well Melania speaks all 6 of the languages she reportedly knows; RantWoman just REFUSES to allow anyone who cannot conduct press interviews in at least two languages to diss Melania's idiosyncratic English.

--RantWoman is not unfamiliar herself with the world of "oh good grief" personal decision-making.

--Underwear model would never have been a reasonable career option for RantWoman--unless she could get someone to pay her to leave her clothes on. Anyway, RantWoman wants to support women playing their cards on their own terms.

And

--Melania demonstrates nowhere near the graciousness of other first ladies

--Wearing an "I don't care do you?" jacket to visit immigrant detention concentration camps on the border is just gauche.

--RantWoman finds it really easy to think about an adage from High school Spanish class: "if you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas."

As for the actual search, in contrast to the "no-knock" warrant and guns blazing at Breona's, the search at Mar a Lago was very lowkey and perhaps would not even have become public if Melania's husband hadn't started blabbering about it all over Truth Social.

Yes, OF COURSE having the FBI execute a search warrant in your bedroom is intrusive. And you are still very much alive. So miss me with the pity party and just be glad your name is not Breona.
