    Those are two different measurements.

    He’s six feet tall.

    And he’s three inches.

      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”.

    How fucking terrible of a person do you have to be to continuously lie about something so trivial and easily proven.

    We have to stop reporting on Trump lies like they’re shocking.

    Yeah dude, the lying liar lied.

    Literally every time this dude opens his mouth he is either lying or spewing hate. Sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, so will Trump lie.

      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.

      Eggs.

        I never said stop reporting, I said stop acting surprised. I don’t want them to stop talking about it, I just want them to be honest about it and say “Trump lied about this today” instead of “the Trump white house thinks…”

        I just want them to call a spade a spade instead of acting like it’s not

          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.

      Same. I can’t recall any of my doctors ever measuring my height. The police and RCMP however… both kept pretty good records of my teenage growth years.

        My doctor’s office measured my height along with my weight last year. First time I remember since I’ve been an adult. I’m an old white woman and apparently I’ve lost an inch.

            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.

              My wife lost an inch, then had to have a vertebrae fused in her neck and she got the inch back.

              Pissed off my daughter as she had just outgrown my wife, only for my wife to pass her and force her to do it again.

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

      I think it’s because I’ve reached the age where they want to see if I’ve started to shrink.

      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!

      My primary care takes my height and weight every time I go in and I’m well below the age where people start to shrink.

    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

    Trump reminds me of Charlie Sheen. Trump is always"winning", hangs out with pornstars, and his ego is so inflated that Freud would quit doing cocaine. Trump needs to be treated like Reagan was. Like, when the secret service would place leaves in the pool. But, in this case, give him a room with a camera and tell him that he matters. But it broadcasts to nobody.
