Maybe they’d better start working on alternative interpretations of the MAGA acronymn now so they’ll be ready to explain it away when the grandkids find the old red cap in the attic, rather like Grandpa Hans explaining that the double lightning bolts on his old cap meant he was in the electricians’ corps. ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > The Republicans are America’s nobility and treated with the deference nobility always has been. Meh I don’t buy this. Pre-2016 there was not a massive bias in how Republican vs Democrat candidates’ public statements were covered. Remember Romney’s “binders full of women”? Bush’s “is our children learning”? That’s part of the problem. The media insists on trying to cover this like you have two candidates who are acting in good faith and are at roughly the middle of the political spectrum (even if they do have some more extreme policies they are toning them down to appeal to the median voter). That is fundamentally not the case with Trump, and covering him like that is true is doing a huge disservice to the American people. ---

I’m looking forward to Trump‘s inaugural address ( becoming resigned to that as a possibility.) He’ll start with 30 minutes of dancing, call Kamala the c-word, tell a story about how illegal Venezuelan psychopaths burned down the city hall in Peoria, Illinois, and wrap it up with a 20 minute anecdote about Arnold Palmer’s penis. The news anchors will gape slack-jawed…except Fox will call it the most brilliant address since Lincoln’s Second Inaugural. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Trump quote of the day: > > “We’re going to take hope and make it back.” . No, the best one isn’t exactly a quote: “How much are you getting paid?” Trump: “Not enough! I want more!” “Are you going to raise the minimum wage?” Trump: “_\>Danger Will Robinson! Deflect, Deflect!\<_” Watching his innate greed run head-long into itself is like poetry. ---

Didn’t realize that Trump and pro golfers showered together. Not sure where Ron Jeremy comes from, don’t want to know, but am thankful Trump was probably not holding a rally there. ---

DG Torresdale LLC 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 small 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 opportunities. Having started my McDonald’s journey as a crew member in New York nearly 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 ---

I’m surprised the franchise agreement from McDonald’s permits this. It’s their brand, not the franchisee’s, and mega-corporations tend to avoid partisan stuff, anything beyond donating the legal amount to both campaigns.
