Every once in a while, a conspiracy theory comes along that's so emotionally satisfying I have no choice but to present it as fact.

Consider the latest Twitter conspiracy theory making the rounds: that Melania Trump is using a body double and has been doing it for months.

Melania, the theory goes, scorns Washington as well as her husband and has generously offered her body double for use at public events.

Girl, we get it. And while almost internet conspiracies are trash, there's even some evidence for this one that makes it ... almost ... potentially ... not embarrassing to think about?

Gumshoes, let's investigate.

The theory appears to have kicked off over the weekend, when respected Guardian columnist Marina Hyde tweeted this:

Hyde could very well have been kidding. That didn't stop the sad people of Twitter, desperate for some old school dumb news to cling to, from taking the conspiracy one billion steps further and advancing it as fact.

The theory took off when a Twitter account we can obviously trust, BuyLegalMeds.com, proposed the exact same theory on Wednesday. BuyLegalMeds.com, a self-identified "Cannapreneeur" poised to become the Nate Silver of conspiracy theories, proposed some evidence that, prima facie, is damning:

Oh, Melania. We would so love to believe that you've left your husband to live in a golden palace, where you can wear your glasses in the bathroom while quietly subtweeting your husband. There are so many people out there who want you to divorce him and continue to use his credit card to order Seamless. I mean, this is the kind of fantasy revenge theory every #Resistance member should hold onto for as long as they possibly can.

The Melania body double conspiracy theory is the new "Avril Lavigne was replaced by a lookalike" in the sense that I'm very here for it

Alas, there are a few reasons to be skeptical of the conspiracy. Lenses can easily distort a person's face, as can contouring makeup. This is a screenshot from a video we're working with. And using advanced searchbar technology, we found these photos taken on the same day:

Evidence A:

Evidence B:

I mean c'mon now this is getting embarrassing:

For now, I have to rate this theory as "total garbage." My condolences to the poor, educated people at Politifact who will now be forced to debunk this theory, only to get screamed at by the internet.

That being said, it's still theoretically possible that Melania does use a body double and we don't have the evidence for it yet. Life is hard. The news is bad. I won't stop believin'. Neither should you.

Johnny Depp to Be Charged and Held Under the Patriot Act

Johnny Depp to Be Charged and Held Under the Patriot Act

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You've probably seen Johnny Depp's last "Pirates" movie. In fact, you've probably seen the last of Johnny Depp. In a shocking announcement this morning, Homeland Security announced that it had enough evidence to charge Depp with conspiracy to assassinate the President and hold him as a terrorist enemy combatant.

Those words typically mean one thing: Gitmo. That's where combatants are detained and debriefed. Depp can expect to be subject to intensive interrogation on how an iconic American actor could possibly have fallen so far. Major James Okenhurd told us:

"Depp's apartment in the city is a shrine to Mohammed and Allah. He has several copies of the Quran and a collection of prayer rugs. There is no doubt that he is a practicing jihadist."

Depp's publicist denies the allegations, saying Depp is a method actor learning a role as a Muslim:

"To truly understand a role Johnny likes to immerse himself in it. He has to feel like one of the characters when the camera rolls."

On that front, Depp has done a stellar job. He appears to have even come up with a workable plan on how to assassinate the president the next time he's in Concord, New Hampshire. Experts from the Secret Service say the plan is meticulous and would probably have worked, although the perpetrator would never escape alive.

[ED: It will be interesting to see how they can PROVE that Depp is "a practicing Jihadist" and NOT just "a method actor learning a role as a Muslim" - whether he is Muslim or not.]

German Chancellor Merkel's hair censored on Saudi Arabia state television

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
German Chancellor Angela Merkel traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet with its top leaders Sunday -- but she chose not to wear the traditional headscarf and full-length robe that women and girls who live in the country are forced to wear.

It was Merkel's first trip to Saudi Arabia in seven years. Women visiting the country are not legally required to cover their hair or wear a robe, but diplomatic officials have advised them to do so or face possible arrest.
AFTER SAUDI STOP, MERKEL HEADS TO NEIGHBORING UAE
Merkel isn't the first female leader to skip the traditional garb. Former first lady Michelle Obama, British Prime Minister Theresa May and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton all picked pantsuits instead of robes.

While meeting with Saudi Arabia's King Salman and his successors, Merkel said she pressed them on human rights concerns, The Telegraph reported.

"I have the impression that the country is in a phase of change and that a lot more is possible now than some years ago, but it's still a long way away from having achieved what we would understand as equality," Merkel said.

Merkel previously has spoken out against the wearing of full-face veils and argued that they should be banned in Germany "wherever it is legally possible."

She's also supported a ban prohibiting civil servants from wearing such veils. Many Saudi women wear the full face veil, known as the niqab, in line with the kingdom's conservative Wahhabi interpretation of Islam.

Queen Elizabeth Remove the Obamas from RoyalWedding Guest List

Queen Elizabeth Remove the Obamas from RoyalWedding Guest List

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Queen Elizabeth has personally removed Michelle and Barack Obama from the guest list for Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle, according to British reports.
Invitations to Royal weddings in England have traditionally been extended to the sitting President of the United States and the current First Lady, so when Queen Elizabeth saw what Michelle Obama was up to - trying to sneak a spot at the wedding at the expense of the real POTUS and FLOTUS - she delivered Michelle a well-deserved and humiliating beatdown.

While Barack Obama has been traveling around the world, operating as some kind of shadow president and attempting to undermine the real POTUS, Michelle has been trying to push her way into every major social event where she doesn't belong and is apparently not invited.

When Michelle Obama heard the news that Prince Harry was marrying a black American girl, she assumed it was her rightful place to be on that guest list. Michelle made a desperate move to sneak a spot on the guest list, but unfortunately for the former First Lady, the guest list has to be approved by the Queen of England herself.
Timeline of Queen Elizabeth's brutal Obama smackdown
As soon as Buckingham Palace announced the news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were officially engaged, the opportunistic Obamas saw their chance to edge their way into the elites, like a couple of desperate kids trying to hang with the popular crowd at school. Barack immediately got on social media to beat President Trump to the congratulatory punch. Barack has a lot more time on his hands than the current POTUS who is cleaning up the mess he left behind.

Barack, who had been practically stalking Prince Harry on Twitter in recent weeks, made a post within seconds of the news coming out, which served the purpose of letting the Royals know that he and Michelle were angling for an invitation to the wedding of the year.

The Obamas are experts at playing the crowd for fools, and Barack's sycophantic post got a whopping one million likes. The Obamas were likely over the moon about this return on their cynical investment, because it meant Prince Harry and the Royal Family were likely to see it and a seat at the high table was surely theirs for the taking.

The exposure of Barack's post sparked rumors that the Obamas would likely be added to the guest list at the expense of the current president and first lady, London's Independent reported. But while Barack was busy sending desperate tweets and DMs to secretly get on the coveted guest list, Michelle was doing something worse to shove the Trumps aside and ensure her spot, even though the honor is traditionally reserved for the current president and first lady.

Michelle has been doing the rounds on the speaking tour lately, trying to rack in hundreds of thousands of dollars and trash Trump at the same time. Her recent trip to Canada was no exception. She combined her usual trash talk with the hidden goal of getting to the historic royal wedding.

Addressing the "Economic Club of Toronto," Michelle deviated from her usual Trump bashing shtick and went into overdrive, kissing up to the Queen of England at every opportunity, and criticizing POTUS Trump whenever possible. Michelle really wanted that wedding invite.

According to Page Six, Michelle took the opportunity to make fun of President Trump then immediately gushed over the queen. Both conversation deviations had no place in an event like this, but for calculated Michelle, it has a passive-aggressive purpose of saying that Trump wasn't fit for her guest list, but since she loves the Queen so much, she should get a spot.

" After being introduced by Canada's first lady, Sophie Trudeau, Obama told the crowd that it is 'never a good idea' to put your first thought in the morning on social media, and never a good idea to 'tweet from bed,' which appears to be one of the president's favorite pastimes, presuming that he is actually in bed when he tweets at 3 a.m," Page Six reported.

" Going on about effective communication, and the importance of doing drafts, Obama went on, 'Then you need to edit and spell-check it.' The 45-minute conversation, hosted by the Economic Club of Toronto, flowed into a bunch of amusing side stories, including her memories of being awestruck when meeting Queen Elizabeth of England. "

"' What do you do with the Queen? I touched her. She touched me first,' she said, adding that her dream dinner guest would be Jesus, whom she'd serve pizza."

It's well known that the respect, proper etiquette, and holding a high-level of decorum is important to the Royal Family and by painting a picture that Trump is an impetuous buffoon who can't control himself, Michelle thought she was making him look like a bad person to have at the wedding.

However, the bigger motive in her comments was to cover up her actual faux-pas with the Queen when, not surprisingly, brash Michelle showed a complete lack of respect and protocol when she got a little too touchy. The moment she bullied her way into a hug and pushed the Queen toward a chair was the moment Queen Elizabeth decided there was to be no place for Michelle or Barack Obama at the wedding, The Guardian previously reported.

The Queen felt so grossly disrespected by Michelle that she royally snubbed the former first lady after the touchy-feely offense.

When she flew into London with her mother and daughters in tow, expecting an audience with Queen Elizabeth, she received a big slap-in-the-face instead, the Globe reported. Instead of spending the day with Michelle and her family who flew in to meet with her, the Queen ditched her and went off the horse races instead.

Michelle may think she's royalty and even try to act like it, but she's got nothing on the actual Queen of England who is the real deal and put her in her place. The Queen does what she wants and by kicking desperate Michelle Obama off the guest list, and extending an invitation to the real POTUS and FLOTUS instead, she showed she is no-one's fool.
