26. Good post, Kentucky Woman. I agree those who indulge

are beating mattresses with their bats instead of smacking factual line drives at his head. But I do hope you won't be offended when pounding Trump's ass continues. Restraint is not a common denominator in those who play this game.

I'm overweight myself with age, and even when young I was able to supply my children with plenty of brain-building nutrients (to good effect ). But I don't feel any connection between the eager trashing of every aspect of Trump that badmouthers can come up with and my weight.

Blow it off. And congrats on the very impressive weight loss. Have you posted on DU about the combo that works for you?
