Is it okay to be out of touch? I mean, truffle agnolotti in the summer? Or rather:
The festivities happened to coincide with an exceptionally chaotic weekend at home and abroad. Protesters gathered across the country to oppose President Trump even as he held an unusual military parade in Washington; a Minnesota lawmaker was assassinated in a new outburst of political violence; and attacks between Israel and Iran stoked fears of a wider Mideast conflagration.
Weddings, planned in advance, always "happen to coincide" with world events that pop up spontaneously.
Mr. Soros and Ms. Abedin announced their engagement last July. They initially planned to elope, Vogue reported on Saturday, but they changed their minds after an engagement party co-hosted by Mrs. Clinton in December, where attendees pressured the couple to hold a more traditional celebration.
“I think she deserves it,” Mrs. Clinton told the magazine. “She deserves to have that kind of moment.”...
If only we could all have what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve.
The moneyed scene was especially striking given the Democratic Party’s raging debate over how to improve its historically low standing with voters and win back working-class Americans, with whom it is widely seen as having lost touch....
Here's how I'd spin it: It was so out of touch it was in touch. They were in touch with their out of touchness.

Soros family is pure evil.
How amusing NYT tried to tie world events to these people yet none of them have real jobs…
The Bavette Steak is a divine cut of meat cut from the abdominal muscles of the animal. It is a flat, succulent steak that provides a truly unforgettable dining experience, with its distinctive taste and exquisite tenderness, it really doesn't get much better.
If only we could all have what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve.
Now wait just a minute there, Professor...
This marriage will be over in three years. Hillary & Harris at your wedding portends doom.
Did they invite Carlos Danger?
NYT (D) - loyalist corruption supporter
I hope nothing bad happens to Alex Soros. Especially while his dad is still alive yet so close to the end. That would be heartbreaking.
I hope he had a prenup. Abedin wants control of the money and Alex is a slow child.
Wasn't Huma engaged to some Jewish Congressmen who had Hillary's emails on his computer? Funny, how the Senator from NYC, former First lady, and former POTUS candiate, ends up with aide who marries George soros' son.
And funny how Soros, a billionaire, isn't called a member of the rich oligarchy "Trying to rule America". No, he's just good ol' George soros. Friend of Democracy.
If only we could all have what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve.
I'm ok not having what Hillary Clinton thinks I deserve, thank you very much.
@ RCOCEAN II, she was married to former congressman Anthony Weiner of dik pik fame.
“If only we could all have what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve."
Hillary and Huma think Frazzledrip is what deplorables deserve. The trick with vampires is to spike your blood with atropine before they feast upon you. It spoils their meal, and their day.
If only we could all have what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve.
If only Hillary Clinton could have what we all think she deserves!
FIFY, Professor.
This wedding would explain better than anything else I can see why the Democrats hastily re-labeled the protests to target Kings rather than Oligarchs.
Huma Abedin couldn't pull men decades her junior, and that was fifteen years ago. She's going to look a very rough fifty. But then, this marriage couldn't be more about convenience if Vijay and the slurpee machine was there.
Of course, this "royal wedding" in the face of the No Kings farce shows how badly off the Democrats really are.
Hostess nailed it. Said differently, it almost doesn't matter what D's do, they now will win around 47% of the popular vote for President.
Bob Boyd said, "Did they invite Carlos Danger?"
Pierre Delecto says he didn't get an invite either.
Oh for chrissakes. Very rich famous people spend a lot of money to have a posh wedding. They get a famous band and serve chi-chi food. That it "happens to coincide" with whatever the hell it happens to coincide with means...absolutely nothing. I don't think any actual voters care about the "moneyed scene." Does the NYT really think that even Democrat voters are so stupid that they don't know that Alex Soros is filthy rich?
I'm off to look for a picture of her dress, or rather the 3 dresses that are de rigueur among our elites. The dress she wore for her wedding to Weiner was my favorite ever!
Soros family pays for the US decline you see all around you.
Robert L. Peters complained he wasn't invited. Huma and Alex said he was. They confirmed an invitation was sent, but Robert got lost in the mail searching for Pepe Silvia and his magic trunalimunumaprzure.
George is getting up in years, and has realized that Junior needs a handler.
Imagine being a billionaire and marrying Anthony Weiner's sloppy seconds.
Look at the work they're providing for the caterers, who probably employ many illegal immigrants. And Boyz II Men are black, and probably got quite a paycheck. They're doing good things with their money.
@Chest, maybe that's Alex's kink...second thought, after looking at him, it 100% is.
Boys II Men? That's just perfect!
The Ouroboros party. Clever.
These people's weddings are like terrible performance art.
We're there any "No Kings" protesters at this "Wedding of Liberal Royalty"?
I think it's perfect that Hillary and all those creepy elite leftist democrat whores were there. Perfect.
Meanwhile an extraordinary number of military air refueling planes have just now gone east to Spain and Italy. Developing g ...
The first Boyz II Men song that comes to mind is ”Mama”.
“Liberal Royalty” like a Kings and Queens, eh? I’ll wait for the progressives that comment here to call out these monarchs and demand they step down and forfeit their ill gotten power over us.
"drew a rare concentration of wealth and power"
Too bad Israel couldn't have spared a jet or two.
Is it significant the Obamas were not there / invited?
So, the weekend of No Kings did allow for Liberal Royalty.
"Here's how I'd spin it: It was so out of touch it was in touch. They were in touch with there out of touchness."
Exactly right.
"If only we could all have what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve."
Be careful what you wish for.
Why would you include "chilled English pea soup?"
Why would you include "chilled English pea soup?"
I don't know, but hopefully it's an improvement over 'Weiner's in hot water' which is what Huma had to swallow last time her love life was in the news.
But No Kings! though? Lol. And Boy2Men? Sheesh. That's the best they could get?
I hope Sydney Leathers was invited!
What kind of psycho has a GIANT, lavish SECOND WEDDING when your first marriage ended so so publicly and shamefully. A quiet friends and family event seems more the vibe but the rich can be just as trashy as my redneck family I guess.
The NYT will be running a correction on p. B18. The band, in keeping with the political and social priorities of the couple and the attendees, was renamed Boys II Women for the occasion.
Fun fact: according to Wikipedia she was still married to Anthony Weiner up until THIS YEAR. She was literally engaged to Soros while still married to Weiner.
Is the “Liberal Royalty” headline an intentional jab considering the “No Kings” protests on the same day?
A handmaiden of the House of Clinton marries the heir to the House of Soros. This sounds like something from the Games of Thones.
The Hildebeest thinks I deserve to kiss her ring. That's a fate worse than death!
Why would you say why would you do XYZ? As if strangers need to explain themselves to Captain Karen of the decorum police. I like the way Althouse resonates with and amplifies the Algorithm to whipsaw folks into a lather.
They were perfectly on brand. Now...quit staring and get back to work...peasants.
I was not invited. Anyway, I had made a prior commitment to inventory my sock drawer.
It makes me think of Tom Wolfe's write-up of That Party at Lenny's.
"If only we could all have what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve."
We came very close to getting what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve, back in 2016. A damned near-run thing!
So she is going to be his beard, as he is 'mostly gay' according to the web? To what purpose? If he is really gay, no one who counts cares who he sleeps with. But if he is doing a pretend marriage with someone who is also 'mostly gay', what is the point? Impress their 'friends'? Fake out the normies?
The picture that circulated online of the 'happy' couple in their NYC condo did not really give off a very 'happy' vibe - more like a hostage situation.
Counting Hillary, sloppy thirds.
"Bavettes"? "Baver" in French means "to drool" in English. That doesn't sound too appetizing, but the French are weird.
Huma is attractive in an exotic way, but this won't last. Maybe the divorce won't be anytime soon, but they'll be living separate lives in two years.
Best comment on the "happy couple" photo:
Marilyn Manson and Skrillex, Teen Choice Awards afterparty, 2014.
Hubby looks like a rich-but-hopelessly beta male. W/O Daddy's money he would be just another geeky incel. Huma obviously has a nose for the smell of money.
A Belmont heir married a Vanderbilt heir's ex-wife, and don't get me started on Eleanor of Aquitaine. Having mad money means you can marry a twentysomething, but it also means you don't have to.
In a world that is depopulating, the movie title is 'A Wedding and 4 Funerals' (2025).
Chelsea Clinton wasn't willing to marry Alex, despite Hillary's constant hectoring, so finally surrogate-daughter / hand-servant / lesbo girlfriend Huma had to do. Clintons still seeking billions; Hillary still lusts for 2028 nomination. Kamala and Hillary side-eyed each other in ladies-room
Thank you for your comment, Bob Boyd!
Isn't the point here that Hillary Clinton's chief aide was quite able to fall in love with a totalitarian kommissar like lesser Soros? Because they are birds of a feather? And does that not apply to Hillary Clinton herself?
“Dishes included truffle agnolotti, chilled English pea soup and an American Wagyu bavette and grilled prawns.”
If you wanna go chi-chi, try capuzzelle.
English pea soup is an odd choice. I'm guessing leeks, onions, peas. And since its English - lots of cream and butter. But no garlic - cause that's not English.
No matter what Trump does, I will always love him for saving us from President Hillary and First Gentlemen and First Horndog Bill Clinton.
Odd that HRC feels the woman who has already been married "deserves to have that kind of moment” rather than the man experiencing matrimony for the first time.
I would still be interested in confirmation of the status of Huma's vulva. Her mother is an ardent supporter of female genital mutilation. It seems reasonable that she did, or had it done, to her daughter.
If she is, it might explain some of Anthony Weiner's strange behavior.
OTOH, if she is, her marriage to the junior Soros is a perfect match. He is, supposedly, gay. He won't care about her vulva.
He gets a beard and a trophy (if damaged?) wife. She gets lots and lots of money
I don't think I've even heard of Boyz to Men since the 80s. Are they still a thing?
Did the party feature disco dancing?

"If only we could all have what Hillary Clinton thinks we deserve."
Careful what you wish for.
Soros has other children who have better heads for business. This lunkhead is only tasked with giving money away.
I see the hand of the lesbian matriarchy in this match.
to salute the commentariat for not being reductive. On the other hand, I will. Huma Abedin looks like a hatchet.
They’re out of touch and I’m out of time.
“Huma obviously has a nose for the smell of money.”
Undoubtedly. She also has a hairy back.
She be swarthy, yo…
shes also the daughter of the indian branch of the moslem brotherhood, who interned for an al queda operative, under those circumstances how did weiner retain a security clearance,
that has quietly been erased from the picture
"that has quietly been erased from the picture"
Marrying the son of George Soros, having a past "quietly erased from the picture" is practically de rigueur. What a perfect daughter-in-law for Papaw Soros!
I wish them great happiness, health, and long life.
There! My daughter says that I have to work on being a better man.

Upcoming Bezos-Sanchez in Venice will be mother of all second weddings. I am scheduled to attend two this summer. Allmost always a joyous occasion.
I remember when Boyz II Men were playing at the Shasta County, CA, Fair in the 90s. The keyboard player fell off the stage, I stabilized him until the paramedics arrived. Looks like they have gone on to bigger and better things.
Venetians hate that upcoming wedding, Readering. It's been all over the news. I'm trying to think of a place that would welcome them.
If Sanchez keeps on her current trend, she's going to need a new passport with a photo update.
Hanging up her Divorce Pants...
How is Quagmire taking this?

I don't think I could be around Hillary and Kamala after they had a snootful. The cackling must have been unbearable.
English pea soup is so established as a good dish that it is mentioned in Horatio Hornblower novels. The Russian Czar, touring a British warship, was given a typical Naval meal and asked for seconds on the pea soup. Even I can make a reasonably scrumptious pea soup starting with dried peas, stock, and a few spices.
