What about my post here, or any of the posts I've ever made in the RWED, make you think that I'm prone to going all PC when it comes to obesity?

I am a fat shamer. Being fat is not healthy.

Trump ain't my daddy though, so I really don't care. Just saying that you're probably just wasting your time if you think that his weight is going to be the thing that gets him out of office when all else fails.



Oh. My bad.


sgg





No worries. And all sarcasm aside, I just want to make sure that we're all on the same page here, at least knowing where each other is coming from.


Sure... Trump is overweight. But he's no John Candy. My long anecdotal post about weight and BMI was just illustrating what a flawed concept the entire BMI system is. There are so many different body types out there, and throughout one's life depending upon lifestyle choices, their body type might fall in the happy medium where the BMI works, or it may go to one of the extremes where the BMI tells you nothing about somebody.


On the other hand, hydrostatic testing would paint a nearly perfect picture of somebody's lean muscle vs fat content using water displacement.

Good luck getting Trump to strip down to his skivvies to get weighed in a pool though. Although, given his trollish nature, I could actually see him doing this one day. Certainly a better chance of this than ever seeing his taxes.

Trump’s hit upon a strategy of bilking people that works. If you’d described this to me in the abstract a few years ago, I’d have told you that it wouldn’t work — that nobody would do business with someone who acted this way. But evidently Trump is smarter than I am, because he figured out that you really can keep running the scam over and over again as long as you switch businesses and locations enough.

So what you're accusing Trump of doing is what we already know that George Soros did to entire economies in the past?

No, 6ix, you are full of shit. Soros was actually talking to the Bank of England, telling them to not do what they intended. To drive home how serious he was while he was giving this advice, he bet his billions against the Bank of England and Soros told them what he was doing. Those fucking morons still didn't listen -- they believed that they would bankrupt Soros. They lost money to Soros and to all the other currency traders who made more than Soros on Black Wednesday, Sept 16, 1992.

During the post-election transition period, Trump was allowed to settle a lawsuit about defrauding customers of his fake university (interestingly, the fact that the university was fake was not, itself, actionable fraud at all) rather than truly face the music.

One of Trump’s real insights in life was to see this bug in the system. When it comes to these kinds of crimes, it’s typically in government officials’ interest to agree to a settlement that gives them positive headlines and raises some cash while letting them move on to the next investigation.

But while these decisions can make sense individually, they let serial offenders repeat their crimes over and over again — defrauding both individuals and the federal government. And while Trump is in some ways an extreme case, he’s in other ways a typical one. The nature of America’s adversarial legal system is that your ability to prevail in court is closely linked to your ability to hire expensive lawyers, meaning that in both civil conflicts with middle-class people and criminal conflicts with the federal government, the rich have a huge leg up.

If the FBI director can be fired for declining to drop the Michael Flynn case, then what does that say to prosecutors and regulators all around the country who may be asked to look into misconduct by Trump’s network of business partners and campaign donors?

Trump even opposes enforcing penalties on companies that hire people who don’t have permission to work in the United States.

Wrong you are, 6ix. Trump is the boss of those prosecutors and regulators. And he is nutty as a fruitcake.

Donald Trump Is Totally Calm

Donald Trump is holding a press conference where he’s forcing staffers to file in front of the cameras and tell reporters that he was totally calm at yesterday’s meeting with Nancy Pelosi. Totally. Calm.

I am not making this up. Trump is nutty as a fruitcake.

'Extremely stable genius': Trump defends his mental fitness
www.politico.com/story/2019/05/23/trump-stable-genius-1342655

6ix, you just don't want to admit you voted for an "extremely stable genius". If he wasn't nuts, he wouldn't be bragging about how sane he is.

I love the part where Trump says he's not crazy, it's Nancy. She's crazy, not me! Trump is so fucked up in the head.

Trump is getting more and more stable with each passing month:

"I am a stable genius" (January 26, 2018)

"I'm a very stable genius." (July 12, 2018)

"I'm an extremely stable genius." (May 23, 2019)
