Offshore drilling is now an essential function of government:
Trump administration to bring back offshore drilling staff during shutdown
Most federal employees who are being asked to work during the shutdown are there for a variety of very limited reasons, including “protection for life and property,” since federal law severely restricts who can work.
But BOEM made clear that the workers newly exempted from the shutdown are there to carry out President Trump’s agenda.
“In order to comply with the Administration’s America First energy strategy to develop a new OCS Oil and Gas leasing program, work must continue toward issuing the Proposed Program per the Outer Continental Shelf Leasing Act requirements,”

Well, have the hotel cook it and the people who got the Big Mac, they can go pick it up. Right?
If by “clear” you mean to clear the person who is preparing the food, then that implies they “cleared” all the part-timers at multiple fast-food restaurants.
It’s not just clearing the people, I remember hearing somewhere about the steps that are taken to clear the food that gets eaten at the White House. From what I recall, the shopping is always done unannounced and in plain clothes, so to speak. I think the idea is that you can’t poison the president if you don’t know where he’s getting his next meal from.

[sup]1[/sup]For those who have never smelled it, pig shit has the reputation of being the worst smelling shit produced by any mammal. Having been near farms using it to manure their fields, I can well believe it. That stuff is foul beyond all description.
I think you’re missing the word “adult”. Babies have a superpower in their ass, I’m reasonably sure. But at least most of them respond well to talc and a clean diaper, unlike some dude who’s got the same skin tone as the mascot of the 1982 World Cup .

Not to mention, Trump could just hang back and make sure none of the Clemson players keel over before taking a bite himself.
Trump? Hamberders? Hang back?
I’m sure thump got two Big Macs while each player only got one. And if it turns out that the players got two (if they wanted them), then DJT no doubt took three. But I’m okay with that. I’d like him to have Big Macs three times a day. Or more.
I’m sure Melania had a Whopper seeing as she’s never had one before.

Let’s all go down to the quarry and dance a reel.

Wait, what to Faygo-chugging Millennials have to do with anything?
Saw this on Doonsbury’s daily comic site:
“We saw $1.75 for gasoline today, coming in. I’m riding in this incredible car, and I’m driving , and I’m looking at gas stations to see how much is the gas. How many other Presidents – you think Hillary Clinton would have done that? I don’t think so. I’m in the Beast – the world’s most expensive car…and I’m looking at gas stations. I say, ‘Fellas, slow up. I can’t see.’ They say, ‘$1.75.’…That didn’t happen by accident, folks…Very little happens by accident.”
(emphasis mine)
All I can see now is Cheeto in the back in one of those kid seats with the fake steering wheel.
