    Those are two different measurements.

    He’s six feet tall.

    And he’s three inches.

      On a good day if you start measuring from the top of the asshole. Guess that doesn’t really narrow it down though.

      I had a boss once who went through a bitter divorce and many people at work were Facebook friends with his soon-to-be-ex-wife. She made one post where she described him as “ol’ three inches two minutes”.

      I’m 6’3 225 and I can assure you, I wasnt nearly that fat even when I was pushing 250. If he’s actually 6’3 (he isn’t) then brody is pushing 270-300 EASY. You can hide a lot of weight on a 6’3 frame, but not that much.

          He’s heavier than that even if he’s 5’10". I am 6’1" and I was 225 pretty recently while a housemate was also 225 at 5’10". You could hardly tell I was overweight. That is not true for 5’10, but still not nearly that chunky. I am in the “healthy weight range” now and people cant even tell I lost over 40 lbs.

          That orange fuck is north of 300lbs no matter how much he and his doctor lie about his height.

          edit: I might believe as little as maybe 270 or so. He hides in baggy clothes, but he clearly has a lot of gross maggot-white flab under there.

          🎼 To be faiiiir , though, Gavin Newsome is a goddamned Silver Fox, but at 58 he is still 20 years younger. Im guessing he’s probably only 175 or 180? That was never going to be a favorable comparison for trump.

        Pilling on, am 6’4", at my heaviest (about 305) I still never looked that, eh, bloated. I’d have been more ~350lbs looking like that. Now I’m down in the 210’s with still a little more to go.

          If you replaced all muscle and fat in a 6’3 body with marshmallow fluff, you might end up looking a bit like trump at “225”.

      I disagree. When we stop pointing out the lies that the lying liar tells, we are complicit in him getting away with the lies. A shitload of people aren’t really paying much attention. Those people might believe his lies if they’re not seeing anybody pointing out that what he’s saying is a lie.

      Honestly, I’d rather see it pointed out even more what a fucking liar he is. I want the media to stop saying “falsely states” and other bullshit soft language, and then let it go to fucking trial and beat him if he tries to sue for slander/libel. It’s a fucking disgrace that they’re not only choosing to not do this, but they’re settling when he claims that they’re factual reporting on him is defamation or election interference. But honestly, at this point, I won’t be satisfied until he’s in a stockade and getting pelted by overpriced eggs.

      Eggs.

      Eggs.

          Ah, I misinterpreted your phrasing. “We have to stop reporting on Trump lies like they’re shocking” sounded like “nobody is shocked by his lies, so there’s no point in bothering to report on it.” You meant “stop feigning surprise in your reporting of his lies.” I fully agree with you.

        I undergo weekly spinal decompression therapy. While not exactly the same as the medieval torture devices, being strapped in and having my spine pulled from both directions with 200lbs of force is pretty close.

        And yes, it feels amazing for a second or two.

            In my spine my L5-S1 and L4-L5 are herniated (as of 2017, haven’t checked if any more are). Full on herniated, not bulging. It started when I was 20, and my doctor said surgery should be avoided since it could impact my quality of life significantly at my age (not that my QoL wasn’t already severely impacted). Epidurals and physical therapy didn’t help.

            Back then it wasn’t miserable 24/7 but it had it’s moments. Eventually I had an “episode” where I was bedridden in immense amounts of pain for a solid week. During that desperation I found the IDD option and started that. It was rough back then at the start. But within weeks the constant pain died down and I recovered mobility as well as my sciatica improved.

            Through… Losing a job I discovered the effects wear off after 2ish months and I start being susceptible to the episodes and random function loss again, so now I just go weekly to keep things peachy. It isn’t full recovery obviously, I still wind up in pain if I do too much with my back, even stuff as little as bending over slightly to do the dishes (because I’m tall), but it beats being disabled in constant pain… Those few episodes I’ve had haunt me. Being so helpless I couldn’t even.

                Every time I recall those episodes, and the pain, it gets easier to do, emotionally.

                And theoretically I could just get it operated on - there have been improvements in the field. But the prospect of going under the knife is scary, especially in an area where one fuckup or miscalculation could lead to partial paralysis for life. Throw in a mix of abusive American healthcare and… Weekly therapy is more preferable.

                No. I’ve considered it though, but I’m a tad worried it won’t make a difference considering the options I’ve seen probably don’t result in 200lbs of force being applied.

      Yeah, I was gonna say whatever is going on with his spine might be hiding a few inches. You’d be amazed how many inches you can lose to curvature without looking like Quasimodo.

      But I doubt he was ever 6’3”. That sounds like a number he picked years ago because someone he hates is 6’2”.

    You are missing the point. AFAIK, a foot and an inch are supposed to be based off of the kings measurements. He might be 6 of his own feet (not sure how the plural works here) because he sees himself as the king

            Cute joke, but more likely osteoporosis, preceded by childbearing. Pregnancy hormones make tendons in general soften/stretch, in order for the pelvis to let the head through. I had C-sections, but my feet spread out and apparently the rest of my bones sagged a bit too. And now I’m getting thinner vertebrae.

      They measured my height the last few times I was in for a physical.

      Mine uses the most recent height measurement that they took and check every few years. They check weight regularly though.

      Driver’s licence office takes whatever I tell them. Last tien I told them I was losing weight and they used my target weight. Might be accurate at some point before it expires in a few years!
