Following up on JJ’s earlier post:  Trump even has to brag about his height.  During the campaign, he boasted that he’s 6′ 3″.  During the briefing on his health today, the doctor reported that he’s 6′ 3″.  Oh, and that he weighs 239 lbs.  At those stats, Trump’s body mass index (BMI) is 29.9 which classifies him as “overweight”.  The BMI that would classify him as obese?  30.  Trump’s driver’s license says that he’s 6′ 2″.  I actually met him about 10 years ago during a pro-am golf tournament, and I can assure you he’s not 6′ 3″ and would be on his toes to be 6′ 2″.

It gets better.  It gets a lot better.  Jeb Bush actually IS 6′ 3″.  Here’s a picture of Jeb and Trump side by side at one of the debates:

Trump is 6′ to 6′ 1″ tops, but for argument’s sake, let’s grant him 6′ 2″.  Why does it matter?  At 6′ 2″, his BMI  is 30.68 which the NIH classifies as obese.  Tonight, though, Colbert took another perspective.  At the 6′ 3″ height, 239 is ONE POUND shy of obese.  He speculated that Trump said, “Hey Doc, this roll of 100s weighs about one pound, and it’s yours.”

Today during the briefing, the doctor couldn’t even pass the straight face test on questions of Trump’s diet, claiming that “the President just has good genes.”  Colbert quipped, “Yeah, good genes.  He just can’t get into them.”

Trump actually got a US Navy doctor from Walter Reed Medical Center to lie about the president’s physical and mental condition.

See, for years I’ve tried to get my doctor to add an inch to my height so my weight matches healthy.

Where did, you know, they find, you know, this doctor, you know?  I like how he tried to make cognitive skills mean sanity.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta calls bullcorn.

Well, the chickens have come home to roost.

Here’s the picture they were upset about —

And here’s the whole shot —

Trump had to protect his hair, y’all.

Yeah, there’s more pictures.

Notice how big that umbrella is and he thinks it will only cover his hair?  Ego, dude.

Oh, and yeah —

Grin.

I need some help with semantics this morning.

That Trump immigration meeting that has been described as a kindergartener with mood swings.  It continues to be the craziest damn thing.

Behind the discrepancy: A senior GOP source familiar with the matter told CNN that instead of hearing the President say “shithole,” some Republicans heard Trump say “shithouse.”

Two Trump allies came out publicly on Sunday to dispute that Trump decried immigrants coming from “shithole countries” and sought to cast doubt on Durbin’s public account of the meeting.

Hey, you know what Bismarck said about making laws and sausage . . . .

Jimmy Dean Food Company Political PAC just got a fussy letter from the FEC about problems with their ethics filing.

Don’t watch!

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy queen for the heads up.

It is sleeting in my neck of the woods today and it might even snow this afternoon.  They closed my county.

I know I should feel blessed to live in an area where temperatures in the 20’s cause the Houston local news station to stay on all day with pictures of actual icicles.  The schools are closed, county and city government is closed, and everybody is inside making chili for dinner.

Pray for us, y’all.  We can’t stand this.
