Interesting take. Or… It’s pretty clear that he never grew up. Neither did his taste buds. He takes his steak well done with ketchup. McD’s pickles are apparently too sour or something. So he has them make a special quarter pounder with no pickles and extra kyup. He doesn’t like grown up food, or grown up responsibilities. He’s still a child.
I never thought I’d paraphrase ‘Da Mooch’, but I think it applies in this case: Bannon liked the taste of his own schlong a bit too much. He started believing that he was some Karl Rove 2.0 or something. Turns out he’s just a rich guy with fringe views and until yesterday, had access to a megaphone. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Breitbart now that Bannon’s gone.
I guess Alex Jones has pretty much unified the titles to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion of alt-right conspiracy media.
Breitbart isn’t a news site: It’s a message board for alt-right shitheads. They post “news articles” that are often a couple sentences and then the half-wits post 10,000 comments. It’s a cesspool. It can’t go down and I don’t see it going up. Maybe it will go away. I doubt it.
A lot of those aren’t national chains, and even the ones that are (Wendy’s, BK) are not (at least around these parts) as ubiquitous as Mickey D’s. So if you want the same quick (non-poisoned) burger wherever you go, McDonald’s is really your best choice.
Although I do like the subconscious attraction to the Donald portion of the name.
Don’t worry. They can get rid of all the little clowns and it won’t help. As long as the Big Clown is in office, there’s no hiding how bad this administration is.
I did just do a quick google maps search around the white house, and McDonalds out numbers everything (no surprise). He may have good reason to be worried about poisoned food, but is all he eat is fast food take out? He’s stupid we know, and of course his ‘poisoned food’ is a stupid excuse coming from a stupid person.
I’m not a big fan of Bill Kristol (he’s a weasel and he is blind to the fact that Sarah Palin IS Donald Trump), but this is an interesting interview: Bill Kristol thinks “people are just too unhappy with the status quo” - Vox
I didn’t get through all the article but agree that it was an interesting read.
I agree with Kristol’s basic thesis that the people have lost faith in the status quo. After the Iraq war and after the financial meltdown, people lost faith in the status quo indeed. But what’s interesting - also something he comments on obliquely - is that even though these were two failures of conservatism, conservatism still controls most of the government at the federal and state levels, so the conservatives’ losses weren’t necessarily the progressives’ gains. In my mind, that fact underscores the anxieties of white America more than anything else, and it explains Trump’s success.
One installation on the Florida coast that no longer needs to worry about spoiled views or, should worse come to worst, seeing a coastline covered in oil, is Mar-a-Lago, the Trump Organization’s crown jewel. Filmmaker Michael Moore had goaded Trump by pledging to drill for oil off the coast near the resort; Zinke’s announcement puts that (non-serious) idea to rest.
Headline: Why is offshore drilling again banned in Florida? Well, it’s a red state.
Can’t edit: The “one installation” line from my post is a quote from the linked article.
To be fair, there is one glaring difference; Bill Kristol (presumably) doesn’t daydream about boinking Donald Trump.
Nitpick: it’s a purple state (1/1 Senate representation, 16/11 R-leaning Representative representation, which is largely down to gerrymandering) which happens to have a term-limited governor who is a Trump supporter and who Trump wants to run for senate.
Holy Con-Artist, Fatman!
Do people on the President’s evangelical advisory committee get paid?
That’s a really good question. The Evangelical Advisory Committee doesn’t show up in the Federal Advisory Committee Act database, but it could well have a different official name (whitehouse.gov doesn’t turn up a single search hit for “evangelical”). I think that means that Congress hasn’t appropriated funding for the committee pursuant to FACA, so the members are volunteers.
Paging Ravenman.
Do I understand this correctly; Trump is concerned about being poisoned so he has food made by minimum-wage teenagers, without security clearances, then it’s revealed where he gets it and what special instructions indicate which meal is his?
Whoa! She has got *some *balls! :eek: I wonder how many will do it. Probably a lot. :dubious:
I think its probably more like his germaphobic fear of food poisoning. Not his food being deliberately poisoned.
