Trump, McDonald's and the Mister Rogers Moment

[Luce]

You mean….like Trump serving French Fries? Wouldn’t you consider the importance of that….petty?

I consider it a health hazard.

And I worked in the George Mason University cafeteria when I was senior in HS. I can vaguely remember some of the people I worked with and the year. But I have no records of that job. I couldn't prove it if my life depended on it.

Why are MAGAs so freaked out of an alleged small, inconsequential Harris lie about a job she had 35 years ago when we can show Trump has lied 50,000 times in the past 9 years. Some of those lies causing many deaths and the ruination of people's lives.

The 2020 election fraud lie comes to mind. Lying has become to go to messaging from MAGAs and the GOP. Yet they complain about Harris.

THey are triggered because their rapey felonious god is triggered.

 

[Luce]

I would pay good money to see Trump try to walk on his toes.

 

[TamleeB]

I consider it a health hazard.

Well…..yes, French Fries in general are not really that great for you. Glad to hear you are keeping an eye on your cholesterol.

I just posted this in the other thread about Trump's stunt.
DH asked me the other day, why doesn't her campaign do something to quash Trump's complaints about her saying she worked at McDonald's? I said because as soon as they acknowledge it, the accusations will shift. The proof was forged, the manager stole $ in 2003, etc.
It will never end, why feed it?
It's not about the perceived transgression, it's about the drama.

Which clearly explains why the rapey felon did his Mickey D's stunt.....he was pissed she ignored him.

 

[Bodecea]

She has explained her policies in general terms. Her new ones -not the ones she had going into VP. She was a lifelong leftist - now she's running as a moderate who cant say what she would have done different as POTUS then Biden
Those just got pushed down the memory hole and we arent; supposed to ask when she wanted to defund the police, and supported bail funding for MN rioters

Although Walz said he slept with the windows open so he "could smell the burning rubber" on the Mn riot
What a pair!

 

[ElChupacabra]

Sorry, forgot the "/s" after my remark. Thought the sarcasm was obvious.

It's hard to tell these days, since the person in question says so many things that make it hard to determine what's intended as serious and what isn't.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Regardless how one might feel about him, will this moment be the one which brought out undecided voters and those like myself who have not cast a ballot in years? Could well have played out in a Mister Roger's episode.

Your thoughts?

 

[ClaraD]

Then someone who worked there with her can verify it.

Maybe that never happens, but it is of little matter, she gave the details needed of independent verification if the press wants to look into it, so that's good enough for me.

Lawyers know better than to lie when they can get trapped in it, so I tend to believe she did work there, now that I've seen the details.

I will tell you this...I couldn't verify someone worked with me 41 years ago....I wouldn't remember any of the people that worked at McD's....let's face it, it is a job that has a very high turnover rate.

 

[hecatmoggie]

I don’t know any coworkers from then still no. My mother might vouch but honestly she probably doesn’t remember. Not like Trump supporters would accept Kamala’s parents verifying she worked there so why bother.

I guess my memory is much better than ya'lls

I’d probably believe you. Most people don’t lie about this stuff. I’d believe you until you showed me otherwise like for example proving you know absolutely nothing about that job.

what ? people are habitual liars more often than not and they lie on everything

example ? Biden being fit to run this country. Everyone knows he's not but liberals will lie and say he is

 

[ClaraD]

Nice thought but if they knew they were going back to the life they now have it wouldn't change a thing. Their job is sucking up to big money and they know it.

Cut em off from big money. That would change their views.

It's possible. We can make it happen. It will take a long time. Check out the links in my signature.

What it would teach them is what it is like to survive on that....even if they know they are going back to their cushy lifestyle. I didn't realize how good our poor have it, until I went and lived in a foreign country....while it isn't good for the US standards...compared to the rest of the world, it kind of is.

Case in point. The country is running fine. What issues is Biden causing? An invasion at the border? Republicans said no to action on that front. I don’t expect him to control Russia or Israel. Stocks are good. Unemployment is good. Inflation is down. Pretty average days here I’d say. If Trump wins I expect the circus to come to town again. That guy had a scandal a week as president. Joe not so much. I prefer stability in my country.

[SMTA]

Trump knows how to work a room!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump is a lying sleazy scumbag bitch.

 

[soap box]

liberals have tried to kill him several times ..... after the SS allowed him to be shot, I imagine Biden/Harris has sent clear messages to them to protect him better.

so of course it wasn't like he just went in - that's absurd ..... it was scheduled, planned and the camera's all setup etc. Still, he DID IT ..... Kamala ? she's a liar .... and Trump's point remains ... he now has worked at a McDonalds more minutes than Kamala ever has

Since you put it that way, I'm going to vote for the candidate who worked at a McD the longest, great criteria.

that wasn't what it was about

it was about Kamala lying about working at McDonalds to try and relate to working class American's and Trump said you know what? she's a liar .... and me? I'll go work a McDonalds and show that I can do that, I can relate and he did it

and the egg on Kamala and her campaign's face is funny to see

When did Walz say those words? Provide the proof. If he did say them, provide the context. After all, as Minnesota governor, he would need to be abreast of what was happening. When did Kamala Harris want to defund the police? Can you provide a direct quote? One that someone did provide was debunked since it was clear that all she wanted was to direct some funds to social workers and others who could help police defuse tense situations. Polls show that most Americans support that. Yes she supported providing bail for those accused of rioting. Our Constitution provides for that. Do you not believe in "innocent until proven guilty"? That is the backbone of our judicial system. Do you not like the Constitution? Most of those detained ended up being released anyway because they clearly were innocent. Once again the anti-Harris crowd has nothing but lies and distortions.

Why do you think she lied about working at a McDonald's? Is it because your guy lies all the time, so you think everyone does? Do you think that this idiotic stunt proves that she didn't really work at a McDonald's? What egg are you seeing? If you see any, it's in a doctored photo from the liars on the far right. Trump did not work at a McDonald's. He did a staged photo op at a closed McDonald's and succeeded only in looking like the foolish clown we all already know that he is. The wonderful irony of this is that it once again makes us aware of Kamala Harris's background and how it makes her relate to ordinary working people far better than Trump with his pampered life of privilege.

in her entire life she never once mentioned working at a McDonalds and all of sudden she did ?

she's a liar - you just don't want to admit it

 

[eman623]

If that really is the case.

America deserves what it gets.

Imagine working at a McDonalds! He should be doing stuff that normal Americans do like hanging with Beyonce and rappers and other celebrities.

 

[Airyaman]

Lol.

Of course I mean if this staged nonsense would actually sway voters than America deserves 4 more years of chaos and the undermining of their institutions.

You’ll love it.

That’s for sure.

"I was undecided until Trump put on a McDonald's apron and worked as a fry cook for an hour!"

Perhaps, but Trump will govern better than Harris.

You’ll love it.

Bleh. Next time, skip the personal snark.

2024 Election and Moderation

As we approach the 2024 US Presidential Election, I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone what DP represents and why things are done the way they are here. DP has been around for 20+ years now. This isn't our first Presidential Election and I don't believe it will be our last. We've been...

Trump doesn’t govern.

He trolls and makes decisions on the fly without consulting anyone.

I know you’ll love the chaos and the bullshit and the nonsense and the undermining of democratic and legal institutions.

I personally don’t like those things.
