I don't think it's that Trump's fat; I think it's that he's a piece of poo poo who eats crappy food because he thinks it makes the liberals mad and is doing his best to poison the rest of the country too. Donald Trump is, at his core, one of those morons who ran to Chick-Fil-A to stuff his face because "HURR TAKE THAT LIEBRULS!"

Fitzy Fitz posted:Mueller's been so quiet that I don't know how he could justify it at this point. Um didn't you see those tweets? Comey said Trump wasn't under investigation therefore an investigation is unnecessary. Also he hired serious people who are good at their jobs instead of Trumpologists so that shows a clear bias.

theflyingorc posted:I'm about as fat as Trump and I don't have access to the finest, but healthiest food in the world custom made by the greatest chefs on the planet so no, actually, make fun of him for being a lardass because he loves KFC and thinks exercise eats your vital life essence Oh, and as somebody who is probably actually as tall as Trump (I don't believe him on the 6'2", we've seen him next to athletes of known heights) - he's straight up lying about his weight. I'd guess at least 250-260.

angel opportunity posted:While we're at it, can we please stop bodyshaming Trump for being overweight? It's wildly inappropriate, and there are so many things we can legitimately criticize him on without resorting to bodyshaming, which is never okay a portion of his campaign was run on him saying that Hilary Clinton lacks stamina and is physically unfit for the presidency, and he produced a doctor's note saying he is the most fit presidential candidate in history. talk poo poo, get hit

Aurubin posted:What committee hearing did he back out of? Judiciary? I take it this is a tactical decision so he can just say "classified" over and over again. Hoping Wyden does one of his patented verbal SOS'. I don't think he can say "classified" to stop questions about his perjury, though. There was news that in the closed Comey hearing last week he dropped that Sessions likely had a third undisclosed meeting with Russians, and Sessions has already been caught lying about meeting with Russians in previous testimony. While Sessions is obviously a terrible racist lawn gnome, is he clever enough to evade questioning or is he stupid enough to perjure himself again?

evilmiera posted:We would except he had a fake doctor's note saying how fit he was made up when he was running for President. Don't forget how he grew and inch in height just before Dr. Oz so his BMI wouldn't be morbidly obese. E: It's also okay to call the NJ governor a fatass because he's a sad man that keeps bending the knee but will never get anything out of it. Even the zeroth worst doesn't deserve millions of tax dollars wasted by him waiting at a White Castle drivethru getting a cravecase for Donnie.

theflyingorc posted:(he didn't actually think that was how mountains work, it was a really fun gimmick) The extent to which I teased people was an exaggeration, but yes, I did live in Vermont for a year, and was honestly confused when people talked about "the mountains". People East of the Mississippi just use a very different vocabulary to talk about the natural world. I was in New York City, and talking to someone there, and saying that while I liked the city, it would be hard to be so far from any type of wilderness area, and they responded "Well, you have the Hudson River Valley, that is a beautiful wilderness", and I was like "I don't even know how to start with that..." I actually can see things the other way, but most people from East of the Mississippi can't, because they are pretty fixed in their worldview. Like, I know that while its not pristine wilderness, there are areas in the Appalachians that effectively do block transport. But the people in Ohio and New York honestly don't seem to understand there is a place where a town of 15,000 people isn't a tiny mountain town, but rather a place that people drive an hour to get to because its the big city. For a more productive discussion about wilderness areas, I made a thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3823013

The official reason, that is. the official reason was that nixon had worked out a compromise with the senate watergate committee as to the tapes. nixon didn't want to release them, the committee wanted access, so a compromise was made that senator john stennis was to listen to the tapes and write up a description. stennis was notoriously almost deaf, so cox (the special investigator) refused to accept that compromise. nixon claimed the fact that both the president and the senate investigators had come to a "fair" compromise showed that cox was biased and thought that the public would accept that as a reason for firing him. didn't work out that way, obviously.

On Donnie's first international adventure, the Sauds were really nice to him but the Europeans were so mean he called them names, spontaneously dropped support for NATO Article 5 in his speeches, and pulled out of the Paris agreement. He's not going on any more foreign visits unless he gets a guarantee his fee fees won't get hurt. Travel is tiring and it's hard to get enough praise from cable TV when you're overseas!

botany posted:only the attorney general can remove mueller, and only for good reason. trump could order sessions to do so, but that would likely end with sessions stepping down. at that point we're deep into a reenactment of the saturday night massacre with rosenstein next to bat. If Sessions is formally recused from the Russia investigation, no he cannot fire Mueller. Comey, however, cast doubt on whether Sessions actually formally recused during the hearing. farraday posted:I shop at Sacks off fifth. Few being any number 3+, I agree.

Like not the most rock hard pointed questions but they didn't go 1000% fluff either
