At first I found it baffling that the Trump Campaign would go along with Donald’s McStupid idea for a photo op because anyone not experiencing significant cognitive decline would be able to see that it’d put a lot of unwanted attention back on the fact that Donald Trump has never worked a day in his life. But after some thought, I suppose it did succeed in getting people to stop talking about his dementia induced DJ set for an afternoon.

It’s a franchise location so the “small business” being referred to is DG Torresdale LLC not McDonalds Corp. There are plenty of things to criticize this prick for without having to resort to nitpicking an incredibly obnoxious but technically correct description of the business.

You… You, went to outer space?!

Sure, you’ve never been?

Dear Feasterville Community,

We plan to be closed on Sunday, October 20 until 4 p.m., to accommodate a visit at the request of former President Trump and his campaign.

While we are not a political organization, we proudly open our doors to everyone and as a locally owned and operated location, this visit provides a unique opportunity to shine a light on the positive impact of smal businesses here in Feasterville. We're equally honored to share the significance of what 1 in 8 Americans have experienced: that a job at McDonald's is more than just a job. It's a pathway to critical skills development and meaningful career opportunties. Having started my McDonald's journey as a crew member in New York nearty 30 years ago. this path to economic opportunity is especially meaningful to me.

I apologize for the inconvenience of closing our restaurant and sincerely look forward to serving you very soon.

- Derek Giacomantonio and my team at Feasterville McDonald's

This franchise owner has a lot of nerve… He wants to have his cake and eat it too. Hosting Donald Trump at your location for a staged photo op based on a manufactured controversy intended to mock Kamala Harris and anyone that’s ever worked a fast food job is as blatantly political as it gets. Fuck you, Derek.

Good. I remember seeing that video back when this all happened and she’s a vile piece of shit.

Yeah, me too because these fucking judges keep doling out slaps on the wrist. What the hell do you expect when you're consistently sentencing these insurrectionists to, at most, less than half of what prosecutors are requesting?

It reminds me of an old joke from The Simpsons: "You gotta help us doc, we've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!"

"I am just a country lawyer, unaware of the ways of Washington, D.C., but I must comment on your statements regarding obedience to subpoenas lawfully issued by committees of Congress," Barnes added, while highlighting what he claimed was Jordan's hypocrisy.

"I notice that you were issued with a subpoena of the committee of Congress, which investigated the January 6 insurrection against the government of the United States of America. You failed to appear before that committee. I therefore find your protestations regarding a normal citizen obeying subpoenaed to be somewhat hollow," Barnes wrote.

lmao got 'em. Seriously, though, how in the hell did Jim Jordan never end up in jail for pulling that crap. I'm getting really sick of the rules never applying to Republicans.

“I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company,” he said. “I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”

If you don’t want a reputation for screwing over contractors then you should pay your damn contractors. But we all know Trump would’ve just made up a reason to stiff them even if everything went smoothly.

But I do find it amusing that he’s this close to figuring out why his mic didn’t work in the first place. Good contractors have options and won’t work for a known dead beat. So all he can get are incompetent fools.

Allow me to repeat myself:

Gonna need a source on that.

 

Colin Allred's quote:

“You can’t be for the mob on January 6 and for the officers. You can’t. I was on the House floor when we went through the votes. I remember when you objected to the results in Arizona. Y’all at home might remember where you were on January 6, what you were doing. I know where I was, and I know where he was. I remember when they told us to reach under our seats for these gas masks I didn’t know we had because they had deployed tear gas in the rotunda. The officers locked all the doors, we barred the doors… And I texted my wife Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our son Cameron and at home with our son Jordan who wasn’t yet two, “Whatever happens, I love you.” I took off my suit jacket, and I was prepared to defend the House floor from the mob. At the same time, after he’d gone around the country lying about the election, after he’d been the architect of the attempt to overthrow an election, when that mob came, Senator Cruz was hiding in a supply closet."
