The National Owners Association said franchisees, suppliers and McDonald’s “must engage to support our California McFamily”

lot of mix and mingle events and stuff. they do all hang out together. sounds like maybe McEnroe had it first, and he interviewed and talked to a bunch of them face to face.

 

America #1!! 💪🦅🏆

I like that this was published in 2020, before he ran for president and we acknowledged that he's a moderate (read: conservative), rather than pretending he's ultra progressive or some bullshit.

I will personally ban anyone who unironically supports Trump. Supporting hardcore reactionaries is reactionary behavior and not allowed.

But, I think we enjoy, in a sort of dark humor way, the ways that he spotlights the contradictions and flaws in our system. There's also an almost incredulous hilarity to the things he is coincidentally right about sometimes, like making American foreign policy less hawkish.

I was taught this at one point (though I'm not Christian), but isn't the existence of such a gate irrelevant since the meaning of the phrase is unchanged? Like, either way, the point is that a camel is too big to get through the thing.

post better bait next time. this is way too obvious.

 

The brutal American regime continues its pattern of human rights abuses with ruthless, secret prisons that are closed from journalists and auditors. The government continues to deny the reports.

All the "human rights" stuff from the West is pure projection, as usual.

Sure. but that's a lot of dead people to defend the principle of not letting Russia get what they want. We could have said "fine, we won't expand NATO" and either Russia would have backed down or been forced to abandon that "pretense". But we didn't. We got into this dick measuring contest of "Ukraine can join if they want to 😤" and provoked a war. Which we wanted, in order to fight Russia without using American troops. But it's completely to the detriment of citizens in both Ukraine and Russia.

Stan, since you're probably here, please don't doxx me.

Update: he added

The only infrastructure I need is a replacement liter bottle of Black Velvet Whiskey - where’s the federal funding for that?? My best, Kelly

 

If you don't count his $70 million custom built private jet, his multi-million dollar fleet of personal cars, the hundreds of millions of dollars of mansions he owns, or the various corporate headquarters where he ostensibly spends most of his time, then he's technically homeless!

Also, "staying at a friend's house" for rich people is very much not the same as couch surfing. Idk why, but "staying with a friend" is actually like a huge part of "rich people culture". It gives people a chance to show off, it helps build clout and reinforce relationships, and it's often more comfortable than staying in a hotel since you're typically staying in the guest wing of an expensive mansion.

Which, by the way, is another example of how it's perversely cheaper to be rich. Two week vacation to the Cape? hardly costs a thing when you stay in a friend's summer home. not that that stops you from spending more on wine while you're there than a 2 week hotel stay would have cost, of course.
