So Esther of the Little People got screwed by the Big People in charge of what later became trump’s favorite food. trump would be so proud of them screwing the little people; it’s practically his motto. ---

How about this, it fits in a couple of other threads as well, but… [https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/08/opinions/jim-jordan-liz-cheney-house-speaker-race-obeidallah/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/08/opinions/jim-jordan-liz-cheney-house-speaker-race-obeidallah/index.html) > During a speech Wednesday at the University of Minnesota, Cheney [told](http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/politics/2023/10/06/jake-tapper-jim-jordan-ties-to-january-6-vpx-lead.cnn.html) the audience point-blank, “Jim Jordan knew more about what Donald Trump had planned for January 6 than any other member of the House of Representatives.” She added, “Jim Jordan was involved, was part of the conspiracy in which Donald Trump was engaged as he attempted to overturn the election.” I’d quote a bit more, but I think it would stretch fair use. What has the best potential for Schadenfreude, is that if they did (which IMHO is less likely) reach the speakership and the 1/6 committee or other investigatory group released all their findings on him. Sure, the house Republicans are likely going to dismiss such things anyway, but I’d love to be seeing it show up daily on CNN and everywhere else during the 2024 election cycle. Of course I’d love it more if he was indicted, but that moves past schadenfreude to “dancing with my wife while sipping mojitos” territory. ---

They almost always screw up my quarter pounder. I am weird, at least my family and friends think so. I do NOT like cheese on my burgers. 7 times out of 10 or there abouts they will cheese my burger and it really irks me. I scrape off what I can and eat it anyway, grudgingly very grudgingly. It isn’t gourmet so I don’t usually complain. It really isn’t worth it. Funny thing while I was posting this my son brought me a quarter pounder with NO cheese. And bonus, no pickle. I usually pick those off. ---

I know right? I love cheese, extra sharp cheddar, swiss, muenster, etc. I don’t like american “cheese” and I don’t like ANY cheese on my burger. Take that Mckie D’s! ---

> [@Sylvanz](#): > > They almost always screw up my quarter pounder. I am weird, at least my family and friends think so. I do NOT like cheese on my burgers. I don’t usually like cheeseburgers, either, and I have complained about the ubiquity of cheese on burgers on these very boards. I will sometimes order a cheeseburger, or even a bacon cheeseburger, at a place that makes them properly. Fast food cheeseburgers are quite dreadful, though. My success rate isn’t quite as bad as yours, though. McDonald’s can usually manage a Quarter Pounder without cheese. I do find it a little extra disappointing when I get a Whopper with cheese, because a standard Whopper isn’t even supposed to have cheese on it. ---

Trump still throwing out racist insults. FFS. You can’t defend him without being a racist yourself.
