Fact that he did this and it looked...terrible just makes me laugh.

Ironbite-wish the fry oil set him on fire.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Is there actual footage of this rather than static images? I want to see if he actually had to do anything, or if he just stood there for a couple of photo ops while having a "who looks more uncomfortable" competition with everyone around him.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Actually, yes.

 

[Paladin]

And someone's invented a name for his performance today.

Spoiler

"Frysis Actor."

 

[Cybersnark]

It was all staged, of course.

Something you should know about the Trump McDonald’s appearance is that the restaurant was closed and the food service was all rehearsed with pre-screened volunteers

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Of course it was staged. Does anyone think they'd let him touch food for actual paying customers?

 

[Ungnome]

Yup, it was a PR stunt, always was. Most McDonalds are franchised, so I wonder, did the Trump campaign pay this one, or was the owner just a MAGA supporter and willingly lost revenue for a day to support his candidate of choice.

 

[DefaultOption]

he's latched onto it for some reason.

It's one of the few things his addled mind can remember because it's ~50% of his diet.

Genuinely the funniest thing I've ever read from you, Paladin. That's ******* fried gold right there.

 

[G.B.Blackrock]

............it doesn't work that way.

This much is obvious, but it's long past time more people started asking "why not?"

So many grievances from the Lincoln era still unresolved. Sad.

Did anyone have "I'll be as great a John Adams" on their bingo card?


Edit -
Does he know:
1) He would have to get Congress to declare war on Venezuela
2) The Alien and Sedition Acts are high on the list of why John Adams was a one termer
3) The Alien Enemies Act was the underpinning for Japanese Internment in WW2. You know, those guys that came up just a couple days ago as people that were possibly treated worse than the Jan 6 rioters. Maybe.

It is true that the border was a weak spot for Lincoln. He could not even get everyone to agree where the border was.

 

[Pocket]

Trump would definitely have been one of those people who had a hard-line stance on where the border was, and that all those non-white people trying to cross it should be sent back where they came from.

You're a little off. He would actually have gone over the border in the opposite direction himself so he could benefit from all the free labor.

 

[Axaday]

A Right-wing, white-supremacist enemy within actually took over half the country on Lincoln's watch. He had to use the military to deal with it.

 

[wonko the sane?]

...

I've never heard the civil war described that way.

God damn if that ain't true though.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Oh hey, I've had this video running in the background while I do other things, and it's too good not to share some hopium.

 

[Paladin]

Morons of a feather flock together.

"$60,000 to bury a f**king Mexican!"
- Donald Trump, raging at the funeral cost of a dead US soldier.

In 2024, every racist denies being racist. But the mark of the racist is that he thinks of you by your ethnicity first, and everything else second. That's what Trump does, and that's why he called a dead US soldier a "f**king Mexican".

Trump: "I need the kind of generals Hitler had".

Trump apologists: "Mmmmmmm, nope. I still can't see any parallels between Trump and Hitler. It's all in your head".

Trump supporters: you always think you have "street smarts" instead of "book smarts". Well, I have news for you: if you can't tell you're being conned by a guy who is constantly sending you spam E-mails advertising his tacky overpriced cheaply-made merchandise, you do NOT have street smarts.

It turns out Trump's October Surprise was ... Elon Musk. I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks whether the price tag for American democracy was $44 billion.

I've heard lots of nicknames for Trump, but "McFelon" might be my new favourite.

It infuriates me to know that Trump thinks the hard thing about being a fry cook is doing the physical movements one time, and not the fact that if you were a real fry cook, you'd have to stand there sweating over it for hours while management pressures you to work faster, not take bathroom breaks, and not take days off or else you'll get fired and you can't afford to sleep indoors anymore.

And when he was demonstrating this delusion for all to see, not one person pointed that out to him, not even the reporters, because he's surrounded exclusively by ball-licking sycophants and spineless worms.
