I was just going to send a response to an ongoing thread about Trump's weight...

....I already had it written, a less than tasteful remark, when I noticed something in my mailbox.
A note that someone had given me a valentine heart. So I thought "let's be better than name calling
and fat shaming", and I deleted my message. Really, this just happened. Thanks to whoever sent me
the heart. I had no idea how good it makes one feel.

I am "short for my weight" too.

I care that he can not find truth in anything. His claims of health, confirmed by his quack doctors,are transparent lies and distortions.

I admire Chris Christie for his responses to fat-shaming. It is juvenile. I don't agree with most of Christie's policies, but Christie's girth is a fact of life and a challenge for him...not a personal failure.

Thanks for pulling the plug on your post. Happy Valentine's Day.
