She actually made me laugh.

I may have clapped too.

Thanks for posting the quip.

I thought it was a good interview.

That's exactly why she said it. She threw more damn shade at his fat ass than the moon in front of the sun during a full eclipse (which, btw, the Stable Genius was genius-y enough to look at directly).

push him a little closer to being obviously off his rocker, to the point dumbasses will have to admit it.

and we both know it flew right over his head. I'm betting that he has no clue about avoirdupois weight. I wished that my mum was alive for that one

Hahahahahhaaaa!

I bet no one in the Whitehouse or in any of his acquaintances has a clue what it means. It might be the most googled word today!

or even the apothecaries' system, which I'm not sure is used for anything these days. Using it to mean a person's weight is noted by the Oxford English Dictionary as a US thing:

1883 Atlantic Monthly May [Football] Avoirdupois and strength are at a premium for rushing, blocking, and tackling.

...she leans right, but won't be voting for this ass clown. Flat out told me, "Every time he gets criticized he can't stop himself from responding. He's being completely trolled and gives more ammo to those trolling him. Worries more about his self image than doing his job."
