I think so. Really, I think all these things are just little inconveniences of riding transit. Sometimes it's crowded, smells bad, is noisey. Sometimes, those are the most interesting bus rides. We make the best of it. Here, some routes are so crowded it's standing room only and even with my cane I'm lucky to get a seat unless the bus driver yells back and asks people to give me a seat. If I have time I might wait for the next bus (sometimes they drive by if too crowded anyway). If someone was 'manspreading' I'd either find another seat if there was one give him a look to say "excuse me - make some room". I haven't noticed it very often.

I feel not - and I say that as an obese person.

I'm not sure what is considered the width of a seat but I just measured my diningroom chair and found it to be 17". I checked a chart for airline seating, economy class and found that for almost every airline the seat width is less than 20", some are 17" or less. But to be generous, let's say 20" per seat.
You claim to be obese - can you sit in a 20" space without bulging over? And you wouldn't find it discrimatory to be required to pay for two seats?

Article on body language of Obama and Trump, but thought one of the images was suitable for here. I don't take issue with this though, as they have the space to do it, just found it amusing.

One wonders if it is even possible for Trump's hair to turn grey as tends to happen to presidents. Perhaps he will change to a more natural looking hairpiece with some grey in it

As far as the "manspreading" is concerned, just two observations: first, maybe it's the camera angle, but Obama's chair looks bigger than Trump's, giving him more room. Or, it could be a factor of Trump being a bigger man than Obama - thus, Obama having more room to "manspread." Not sure I'd read too much into that.
I liked the analysis of Trump's hand position suggesting that he had learned something that had made him fearful. Well, since being elected he's been getting full intelligence briefings on a daily basis - everything the president gets the president-elect gets. I have no doubt that he suddenly knows more about the goings on in the world than he ever wanted to know, and I have no doubt that there's a part of him thinking "wtf have I got myself into?" Because I continue to be of the opinion that this all started as a giant ego thing that he never expected would go this far.

President-elect Trump's a winner, which is why he has his fingers steepled. He has respect for President Obama and/or the office of President which is why it's a low steeple. I see no signs of fear revsdd.
Has un con science come to light? "Con" is a metaphor for a steer that can not go wild ... but if un steered is this a second wind, or b' AUM steer towards peak experiences ... Lord de Master does control de helm t get mere mortals into a "c" of trouble ... dark eve in ... kind a' like a dhow age Eire (racing slur?) or a timely mind captive in a vessel ... Jaerd? Do you know how many times that word appears in the TX of the good myth as gospel? Perhaps an emotional propaganda with unseen consciousness?
There are spectres ... variants ... off center and thus not scene in the staged production --- Shakespeare as shows up in Psalm 47 ... 47 words down and 47 words up from the end of Psalm ... a PS given as metaphorical alm. You never know what you can find in word ... with some appreciation of the abstract side ... incomplete without a giggle or RIFT in time to separate the lighter ones from the dark Eire SOL (Shadows as in blues)? They resemble JAZZ's ... and Hitler's followers hated to see the common folks enlightened about what good and bad, even in midnight ... the 9th hour as "none"! Could something like chaos be fore none ... or just intuited! --- received as a missal from Nyx ... Ono? The presumed conscious psyche can't see such stuff ... only the unconscious psyche!
Then there is the potential that a person does not believe in God's psyche ... would that be bad and lead to denial an un none's ... un-gnomes? It's all the way a' SOL holds their tongue in writ ... rite? Thus silent presentations ... as sounded out ... there is an opposing opinion Jae-RD regarding uncovering some data ...
Thus exodus of TX from god gnoesw hair ... an Trump may seen be bauld ... like an eagle ... they all come down in time ...

LuceNDs - do not quote me, tag me, reply to me or private message me unless you're going to show me the respect of speaking in a language that I don't have to spend time that I do not have translating. I've asked you that before. Please show me that respect. That is my formal request to you.
