Trump mockery of Christie's weight takes a turn after audience member chimes in: 'Don't call him a f

[LMAO]

Chris Christie had  a lap band put in. It wasn't permanent.

@LMAO

I didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up.

Any kind of bariatric procedure is only a tool. It’s the excessive eating that gets people to their state of obesity in the first place. The fella I knew that blew through his lap band went right back to his same old eating habits eventually

Food is not only a necessity for life, but it’s a very wonderful gift that God gave us. In today’s modern society, we don’t have to go out and hunt and gather for food. We can just pull up through a drive-through and eat all the burgers and fries and shakes that our bellies can handle. Then we can go home and plop on the couch and watch Oprah.

And we are paying for it as a society in increasing healthcare costs and a variety of medical issues

[catfish1957]

Thanks for demonstrating that Tumpy gas lights with the best of 'em.

[LMAO]

We have something that triggers in our brains that, when we see an abundance of food, it tells us to eat lots todayvbecause I don’t know if you’re going to eat tomorrow. It goes back to a time when we had to deal with feast and famine.

I am thankful every day to God that, in his divine wisdom and creation, I live in a time of abundance. I have never known starvation. So when I see someone like Chris Christie, even though some of the fat jokes are kind of funny, I do feel sorry for him as carrying around that much weight is a burden

Obesity is God’s way of putting brakes on overdoing something so wonderful

[LMAO]

I would guess that having both Trump and Christie on the debate stage would look something like this

But, you are doing it in public @the OlLine Rebel

Uh, no.

If you can’t understand the difference between banter on a forum and deliberately making speeches so audiences can hear and media can report it nationwide, then I’m sorry this wasn’t a good enough example.

[Lando Lincoln]

Uh, no.

If you can’t understand the difference between banter on a forum and deliberately making speeches so audiences can hear and media can report it nationwide, then I’m sorry this wasn’t a good enough example.

And there is a difference between a guy named Lando Lincoln doing it on an internet forum versus a guy named Donald Trump doing it with national media present.

There is another major difference, that being that none of us on this or other forum are running for President. Personally I'm past Trump's schoolyard bully rhetoric, I'm ready for an adult this time around.

   I've been ready for the last 25 years, McCain, Romney and Trump were disasters, whether they were elected or not. 
   The GOP is the problem.

I have to put Bush II in there. I hate that lying POS. But you are right. The GOP is the problem.

There's precious little difference between what you (and others) and Trump do ---- vis-a-vis Christie.    If Trump's comments are "unseemly" (as you're fond of saying), so, too, are yours.  If his comments influence opinion, so, too, do yours.  If ridicule is an acceptable tool for you to use, then the same acceptance should be extended to him.

So, @the OlLine Rebel , perhaps instead of waving the virtue scepter because you address a smaller audience from behind annominity, wouldn't the hypocrisy scepter be a better fit?

Incredible

Not only do you not understand the difference between a primary election and a general election. But you don’t know the difference between a public event and a private forum

Of course I understand the differences.   But, the member only section and PMs are private, everything else is public.  (Hence, the scrupulous tracking and counting of guest visitors).  So your argument is a difference in scale ---- not one of motivation, intent or political weapon.

You, yourself, are quite proficient in using personal belligerence against members in an effort to affect opinions in a political debate --- of both member and public viewership.  In all candor, it is your fallback technique.

So, please, spare me your faux incredulity and instead learn the meaning of "hypocrisy".

Couldn't this expand the opportunity for my opinion to get through without people needing those hip boots you referenced above?

Probably enough for an entire football league.

   Absolutely @Right_in_Virginia I haven't been here as long as You, but I'm feeling more and more comfortably each and every day.  The amount of MAGAdoneians has significantly decreased over the last 3 years.

   I welcome your input though, IMNHO you are no longer preaching to the choir.

What does this even mean???


I was responding to a charge you made about me personally

Normally I would ask for examples of your charge. But your history is one of avoiding answering


But I don’t have a history of calling other members “ignorant” or “clueless” or “facists” or “preferring totalitarianism” or telling other members to stop rooting for the left to succeed simply because others don’t share my worldview

You need to learn to keep your emotions in check before responding to others

[Right_in_Virginia]

All by design.

I welcome your input though.

Perfect

But if asking for answers to questions posed or to address points  made beyond “rude orange man” or being told “to stop listening to voices in your head” is what  is defined as being proficiently belligerent to some, well, guilty as charged…lol

Back on topic.  Who is bigger....Lizzo or Christie
